Sharing just keeps the fans that support the artists from having to get ripped off by purchasing them on auction sites, and it also introduces music to people who would never have known the artist, creating a stronger fan base.

Jazz Is Dead, With Derek Trucks, 4-24-99 (SBD)


This is a great sounding recording of a great group of musicians. There is just some fantastic playing by everyone involved on this. The date of this show might be wrong. I was under the impression that Billy Cobham was the drummer during 1998 and Sipe and Morgenstien came in 1999. So it might be 4-24-99. They were touring the west in April of both years so it is hard to tell. If anyone knows the true date help me out. I have not been able to find this on any other site so maybe it was on the older Dr. Fusion before he got axed and had to rebuild. Anyway here it is for all to enjoy.

I had a lot of requests to re-post this.

Jimmy Herring and Justice League Of America, 1-22-2000 (SBD)

This is a show from a short lived band that had Jimmy Herring, T. Lavitz, and Richie Hayward. There are some great jams on this to be sure with musicians like that. After all it's half of the Jazz Is Dead band and a member of Little Feat. It is sad that both T. Lavitz and Richie Hayward passed away last year. The sound quality is outstanding and it comes with some cool and creative covers made by Boogie Woody that just adds to the package. Jimmy Herring as Batman cracks me up. If you like Jimmy Herring or T. Lavits this is a must.

Jazz Is Dead, Rialto Theater, 4-05-1999 (SBD)

 
I have not seen this one anywhere so I guess this is an Arizona Jones exclusive. I have had the tape since 1999. The original Dat was tapped by a guy named Phil from Tucson, AZ and he put it on cassete for me. There is some of the start of Eyes cut off at the tape flip and Terrapin cuts at the end of the tape.

Jazz Is Dead, 5-30-98

It has come to my attention that T. Lavitz the keyboard player for Jazz is Dead passed away at age 54 on October 7th 2010. Lavitz has played in the bands Widespread Panic, Dixie Dregs, and Jazz Is Dead. He also toured with Jefferson Starship in 1996, and has played in several prjects with Paul Barrere of little Feat. He will be missied in the world of music but his music will be enjoyed well into the future. May his spirit be in eternity with the creator in heaven. So here is a fine recording of Jazz Is Dead to remember him by. It has special guest John Scofield playing on it to sweeten it that much more.
