Major props to Audfellow for identifying a few of the tune titles; Dave coulda helped, but instead, he said nothing after his introductory remarks!

Lionel played with a lot of different effects and voicings on his guitar tonight. Sometimes it was interesting, but other times his sound choices were … baffling. Just too weird for me, and that's really saying something!

In tracks 3, 4 and 7 above, I used right double guillemet marks where Chris changed from tenor to soprano or back. I suppose it's possible that the band was also changing tunes (since I usually use that mark to indicate a segue), but I don't think that was the case tonight.

Dave Pehling posted a nice promo piece about Dave's run of shows on the local CBS website… and gets things right as far as mentioning that tonight's show is going to be a power trio gig instead of the originally advertised “New Quartet” with Chris Potter.

Andrew Gilbert published an interview with Dave for KQED Arts.

Big thanks to Ting for the photo gallery!

Whoa! This section is incomplete for now, sorry!
