Charles Lloyd at the Village Vanguard around 1978 or so. Just an incredible evening! -- though he is always inspiring.
Oh, and I just thought of Leon Thomas, singing at CBGB (yes, that one) around the same time, maybe a few years earlier. What verve! The band had both a drummer and a percussionist that night; wonderful.
And one I didn’t attend, but would have loved to have been a fly on the wall: The historical evening of string quartets with the following personnel:
First Violin: Joseph Haydn
Second Violin: Baron Dittersdorf
Violoncello: Johann Vanhal
Viola: W. A. Mozart.
