That would have been amazing I bet.
Incidentally I went digging yesterday and bought a Fred Wesley Quartet LP.We <3 Fred and the JB's.
EagleEyez-
One thing you are guaranteed with Fred Wesley, is that he covers the full spectrum of jazz in his performances, traditional, blues, JBs, P-funk beautiful tributes too, you drink it all in with his commentary.
I said to Fred two years ago that we will continue to see him when he is in London, at 81 years young he still has funk in his trunk, his band equally top draw
I personally think that live gigs keep him going, a true performer a lot of love and respect in the room. In conversation at the bar with Dwayne, he talked about a strong unbreakable connection for over thirty years.
Mrs M always seeks out Fred’s daughter for a chat, who is a constant at gigs, it’s all very special and highlight of my year

Another unforgettable evening last night with Fred Wesley and the New J.B.s at Ronnie Scott’s.
Had an equally lovely conversation with Dwayne Dolphin aka the baron about touring with a legend, visiting London and how jazz and funk music hold universal appeal
