Up Jumped Spring

Last Wednesday, Nov. 2nd, Mike DiRubbo was on sax, Joe Farnsworth on drums, and John Webber on bass at An Beal Bocht Cafe.  Joe just returned from literally circling the globe on tour with McCoy Tyner, and he brought us back a beautiful original piece...


They opened the second set with a swinging, soulful "I remember you."   John Webber played a solo that was utterly mesmerizing.  Tony Hewitt showed up and kicked it up with "Up Jumped Spring", click here to see it.  He then delivered a sensual "Body and Soul."  I stood in the back of the bar infused with energy from these extraordinary musicians.  They never cease to bring it -- their great love for the music and their ability to throw themselves headlong into the moment and see what's there.
