d'Elf started off with a nice set with mostly tunes off of Now I Understand

JFJO had a drummer that I had never seen before (Josh something). I'm not sure why Jason Smart was not there...I meant to ask, but I forgot.

Oklahoma Stomp (Duke Ellington)
In Your Own Sweet Way (Dave Brubeck)
Thelonious Monk cover
Old Love New Love (New tune by B. Haas..."a song about becoming a man...and evolution...a new prayer")
The Maestro (R. Mathis)

3 of the 4 question marks may have been improvisations...i recognized the final tune but couldnt put a name to it.

It was a long night of sweet sweet music...they played from 7:30 - 11 with a short setbreak between bands. I kinda got stood up...so i went by myself but I sat with some nice people from Paris and had a wonderful time anyways. The music soothes the soul.

Jason will no longer be in JFJO. I'm not yet sure what he has moved on to. I wish I could have made this. My friend Bert recorded from onstage. I hear Josh is a sick drummer. You have to be to play with Brian and Reed!

The Wayne Shorter cover was "Fall" from the Nefertiti album he did under Miles Davis' name.

the new drummer is josh raymer. i believe he is from oklahoma. not sure of any other information about him.

there's a torrent of last night's(6/20) show on bt.etree.org if anyone is interested. ill post the link in the trading and taping forum.
