I have to tell you - this is one of our best Jazz Bridge videos. Guitarist Jef Lee Johnson and his band, which included bassist Chico Huff, were booked for Collingswood and due to circumstances beyond everyone's control, Chico and Jef had to play sans drummer.
BUT!
What an incredible night of music it was...and Jef flew in from his tour with Esperanza Spalding just to do it
- Take a moment and enjoy this little bit of cool -
