What a night! A jazz extravaganza with Trio! For those of you who, like myself, didn't know anything about Trio!
TRIO! are:
Stanley Clarke on bass
Bela Fleck on banjo
Jean-Luc Ponty
Now I knew all to well who Stanley Clarke was. I still remember the first time I heard him play on the album 'If This Bass Could Only Talk' in 1988. Pure brilliance. He is known as the man who created the slapping technique. All I knew was this man could make the bass sing. I knew that if I ever got the chance to see him play live, nothing would stop me. Living in Australia at the time, I knew there was little chance of seeing him anytime soon. Well, I got my chance thanks to "Summer Nights at South Lake Union' . It may have taken me 15 years but it was well worth the wait.
