I got a notice that Stanley Clarke will be touring this summer with his current 6-piece group (2 keys, bass (obviously), drums, violin, percussion). I checked his website and they start off with just four cities across the US. Then he's off on the international summer festival circuit. Then he comes back to the US in late July before going back to Europe in October. What a life!
06/12/19 Sacramento, CA -- Crest Theater
06/13/19 Berkeley, CA -- Freight & Salvage
06/14/19 Minneapolis, MN -- Dakota Club
06/15/19 Minneapolis, MN -- Dakota Club
06/23/19 Pittsburgh, PA -- Pittsburgh International Jazz Festival
Anyways, I've actually never seen him live so time to put that to rest! Recent videos show him in company of good musicians playing a wide swath of music. Should be good.
P.S. for Bay Area peeps: What's with the Freight now getting all the good fusion gigs? Does Yoshi's in Oakland not care about them anymore?
