As Linda said, it was a great night of music. Just plain fun all around. Definitely worth the quick trip to LA. Joe just hanging like he wanted back in the corner or "in the hedges" as he told us, playing solos on some songs and just rhythm on others. No stress to be the front man. This band is filled with top notch players and it is such a blast to hear them play this groovin stuff. Some blues, some more jazzy. Paulie's got a great voice and really compliments the whole thing. Took me a while to render all the videos since I wanted to improve the lighting and layer in Phil's audio. Wanted them to look and sound their best. Not easy when you are dealing with a very dimly lit room and red lights, but that is the charm of the place and I do so love the Baked Potato. No other place quite like it.

At Night In The City https://youtu.be/vmHO1CtjMXI I love on this one how Joe is in the back hidden behind Andrew Lippman, the trombonists, yet when Joe starts off the song with those first few notes, you know immediately it is him. Joe's tone and sound is immediately recognizable and anyone who goes around saying he doesn't have his own sound, and there are unfortunately plenty who seem to think this, obviously has never paid attention to his playing.
