SANTA BARBARA COURTHOUSE JAZZ FESTIVAL 8/29/08


It was our last performance of the summer and a magical one! The band clicked and so did the audience at the Santa Barbara Courthouse Sunken Gardens. A beautiful evening at a beautiful place. We also had the pleasure to be joined on stage by one of the greatest percussionists in the world, Mr. Luis Conte (Madonna, Michael Jackson, James Taylor, Phil Collins, etc.).
