Pretty exciting. Have you ever heard Soul Of A Man live from 95? Great live recording from various bands he played with over the years, and his voice sounds...
I was under the impression Vitous hated his experience in Weather Report. Why would he even put Weather Report in the title if he wants nothing to do with...

I just read on All About Jazz that the band that is now called Corea, Clarke and White will play with Bill Connors, Jean-Luc Ponty and Chaka Khan(huh?) on...
I loved Chaka with Chick on "Echoes of an Era." Bill Connors on the bill could make me want to see them in Bethlehem PA (how do you join the "grassroots...
