Thank you for that information and the web site. Sometimes I go to a Jazz jam at the little coffee house in town. There is this upright bass player who is very flexible and its great when you can do tunes like "Autumn Leaves" and "Things ain't what they use to be" and mix them into a blues set.
This bass player can do everyithng from Charles Mingus to Willie Dixon.
Mind you, I am no Jason Ricci but the concept of playing with horns intrigues me. We have had harp players backed with horn sections but to actually interplay : there is incredible potential
Anyone remember the early Toots Thieleman recordings with Pepper Adams? great stuff ----- Original Message ----- From: "Garry Hodgson" <garry@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

This is incredible the interplay of Jason with this unknown (to me) trumphet player.
my brother shot that video, with a digital camera. the trumpet player is richard lee wendel, who also manages (at least some times) terra blues, where it was shot. you can find more about him at his web site, http://www.stopirrationallogic.com/
the entire recording of this show is on the LMA, at: http://www.archive.org/details/jrnb2006-03-14.flac16 richard also plays on the closing "walter's world".
