Went up to Sacramento on Memorial Day 2010 to play up at the Luna Cafe as part of the Nebraska Mondays series.  Good friend Brent Bagwell from Charlotte was meeting up there as well with his group the Eastern Seaboard with Seth Nanaa and Jordon Schranz. First Marches show in a bit – my schedule has been quite full – I think the last time we played was all the way back in January when Anton Hatwich was visiting from Chicago and we played at Blue Six. That was a nice show.

Since then I’ve added Doug Stuart to the group on bass – but unfortunately (for Marches), Gene Baker is moving to New York at the end of the week, so this lineup of Marches with his signature sound on the Hohner suitcase organ will be missing for the foreseeable future.  It was an early show at Luna and I thought we played real well – I had a great time playing with this lineup with Doug, Gene, Cory Wright on tenor & baritone and Jordan Glenn on drums.  Everyone put in a lot of good energy. Satisfying.

The Eastern Seaboard played the second set – focused free jazz explosions – I like hearing how Brent approaches the freedom – thoughtful, patient. The room at Luna is a good size for this kind of music.
