November 2005 mp3s

(on a night which we filmed all three sets)

Billie's Bounce (Charlie Parker)

Autumn Leaves

Cheesecake (Dexter Gordon)

This line-up featured the horns and Rick on drums, plus two former members, whom we wish the best of luck, Fletcher Nielsen on keyboard and Sam Devine on acoustic bass. Make sure to check out Fletch's great rock 'n soul band Tracorum. And look for Sam's reporting byline in the SF Bay Guardian.

The band was featured several times at Oakland's Grand Lake Neighborhood Farmers Market

at San Francisco's Bistro Yoffi,

a Friday series at the Oakland Museum cafe,

and more than 3 years of Wednesdays

as the house band of Cafe Van Kleef.
