Old Wine, New Bottles - Trio
Art Lande, Eddie Marshall, Bill Douglass
A weekend of jazz standards and free improvisation

These three musicians have been part of the rich Bay Area jazz scene for forty years. Back in the 70's, you could hear them at the Both/And, Great American Music Hall or Keystone Korner as rhythm section participants with people like Bobby Hutcherson, Woody Shaw and Joe Henderson. They were all part of Cazadero Music Camp, the precursor to Jazz Camp West. Eddie was part of the great Fourth Way band with Mike Nock, Michael White and Ron McClure, while Art and Bill forged the Rubisa patrol that toured internationally and recorded for ECM. All three musicians are multi-instrumentalists. Bill is a superb flutist, including bamboo flutes, which he played in the chinese ensemble The Flowing Stream. Eddie just might be the wold's premiere jazz recorder player, while Art plays drum set and melodica in numerous bands.

The reunion of these fine musicians begins at 8PM on February 26th, at Syd Williams' Beautiful home at 1071 Page Street, San Francisco. Contact Syd at 415-823-1000 for reservations.

It will be a rare treat hearing these guys making music again. You can count on creativity, subtle interaction, knowledge of the tradition and how to break with it, and much good humor and spirit.

Don't miss it!
