Fiery vox from Bobby & Brent before the midi jazz fest.

California State University Dominguez Hills

Jerry's voice is beautifully fragile and tentative until the others come in on the harmonies. Compelling JG solos & Brent plays some pretty stuff.

That Crazy Fingers makes for painful listening.
Ramble On Rose

Listening to this show for the first time. Incredibly strong for what was their undeniably worst year.

Greek Theatre, U. Of California

Public Hall

My current 'go to' version this last couple of weeks. As well as its depth, it has a certain swing and insouciance lacking in some other versions.
