The last two weeks have been busy, shooting in Los Angeles and Detroit.  After this past Monday’s shoot we have a small break, but we’re planning to go back to LA in August to shoot Kevin Eubanks’ band at a jazz club called The Baked Potato and to New York to shoot legendary jazz pianist Dave Brubeck.  So, although we are not shooting this week or next we are planning.   

Kevin Eubanks, the former bandleader for the Tonight Show, arrived at the shoot almost an hour late but that was OK, we were running late too.

I interviewed Denny Stilwell, president of Mack Avenue Records, for the Smile project in Los Angeles today.

At the end of the day we headed to legendary vibraphonist Terry Gibbs’ house.

After our interview with Will Wakefield we set up for Gerald Wilson. Gerald Wilson is one of the great big bandleaders of all time.
