Two shows nightly Wednesday to Saturday, 7pm and 9pm, with an additional 11pm show on Fridays and Saturdays. House piano is a 9-foot Yamaha grand and they also have a vintage Hammond B3, which is the focus of the 11pm shows. Enter through the bar, in what was the El Matador store front, and access the performance space in what was Vanessi's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4051519380220252201.post-6705532762968555822021-06-18T14:11:45.472-07:002021-06-18T14:11:45.472-07:00Derrick: Great post, as usual!

Really liked seeing that photo page w/ all of the club interiors (and Paul Desmond deep in sax thought).<br /><br />Daniel: Thanks so much for that extraordinary cool link! My favorite bit is the performance of "Woodstock's Pad" that starts right around the 32 minute mark. It captures such a great mellow '70s vibe.Doug A.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4051519380220252201.post-32597105089653001672021-06-10T06:55:16.168-07:002021-06-10T06:55:16.168-07:00Daniel ... thanks for the kind words, and MANY tha...Daniel ... thanks for the kind words, and MANY thanks for sending along the link. No, I wasn't previously aware of that El Matador clip, and it's quite exciting; it's the only live recording (thus far discovered) from that late in Guaraldi's career, and also the only live clip of him and Mike Clark performing together. Sure wish I knew who the bassist was! <br /><br />No word on "rare Guaraldi material" at the moment, but -- as always -- the nanosecond I learn about anything, it'll be posted in this blog!Derrick Banghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12885694730612878577noreply@blogger.com
