• Joey Baron: drums;
• Scott Colley: contrabass;
• Julian Lage: guitar;
• Joe Lovano: tenor saxophone;
• Chris Potter: tenor saxophone.

Like a lot of shows, what was planned far in advance turns out to be different in practice. For tonight, we get an unexplained swap in the players (Chris Potter IN, Joe Lovano OUT). Well alright: I can roll with them changes: both horn players are first class!

I'm thinking I did pretty good at guessing tune titles today: Julian only introduced three of the last four, so with my two guesses, I'm batting 0.400! That's major league success, right? Maybe someone smarter than me will help with the other tunes: there ain't nothing better posted yet at Setlist.fm. I thought #2 was really familiar, but I just couldn't place a title on it.

All in all, this was a very satisfactory night: thanks guys!

Andrew Gilbert posted a promo article about Julian's run this week with KQED.

Big thanks to Ting for the photo gallery!
