Gary Bartz

[mrjazzman]

I saw a masterful performance from Grand Master Gary Bartz last night at Yoshi's. When they started to play Ko Ko I almost fell out of my chair. Bird? live at Yoshi's?? Amazing. If there was a weak link in the chain, it was the drummer. Kassa Overall, rather light weight, sort of skims the surface of things. But overall a brilliant performance, best I've seen in years. I'd pay big money to see Gary Bartz and Charles McPherson together

I haven't been able to catch Bartz live in several years, probably due to COVID, but the last times I did see him perform, he was still playing great. I hope he makes his way back to the Boston area again.

MrJazzman, you should check out his classic work with Miles Davis during 1970-71.
