Michael Blake – saxophones, Kresten Osgood – drums, Tony Scherr – guitar, Rob Jost – bass
Michael returns to the Cafe for a special set of music with some very good friends. Tony Scherr and Blake played together in Slow Poke and The Lounge Lizards. Tony’s work as a bassist is formidable yet his impact as a songwriter/guitarist is practically legendary. On electric guitar, Scherr consistently manages to raise ones hair. Michael’s history with Kresten Osgood isn’t as lengthly but is equally prolific including a decades worth of recordings and tours. The Copenhagen based drummer has established himself as a visionary artist, producing albums with Oliver Lake, John Tchcai, Paul Bley, Yusef Laeef and Lonnie Smith. Joining them is the supportive and beloved bassist Rob Jost.
