Jim Campilongo is a bona fide guitar slinger, and it's hard to believe that several years have passed (four? six? seven?) since we've seen him. Plus, he moved to the Big Apple, so local gigs have become quite scarce! Guess time is happy to slip away while we're all distracted with work and caring for our basic human needs. So, uh, anyways, this was a hell of a show. Instrumentals are always a challenge to identify, thus the large number of unknowns up there. Guess I could have headed up front after the show to see if there was a printed setlist to inspect, but somehow that idea didn't occur to me until it was too late. Hopefully Jim will be back soon for another gig!

Jimmy Leslie posted a nice promo article for the gig at Guitar Player.
