Sounds like a great Night!!
I 've been a fan of Beasley since I heard his piece, "Catalina", on a Steve Tavglione album, and that made me grab John's solo debut, Cauldron (1992). I also dig this project, 3 Brave Souls , that he did with Darryl Jones and Leon Ndugu Chancler...

^They did that tune at the show.
Ron ripped on a tune (dedicated to Elvin Jones) that Beasley wrote for his Positoothly! album called Black Thunder. Although Bruner is already a well-known entity with musicians, chances are around here folks will soon have a love/hate relationship with him...
