Original Beat icon Michael McClure, who penned Janis Joplin's immortal
"Mercedes Benz," and Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek, the Rock and Roll Hall
of Famer who created one of rock's most memorable instrumental lines (think
"Light My Fire"), join forces with the phenomenal saxophonist George
Brooks (Summit, Bombay Jazz, Etta James), legendary bassist Kai
Eckhardt (John McLaughlin, Garaj Mahal), and drummer Jay Lane (Primus, Bob
Weir) for a evening of sophisticated anti-politics, elegant improvisation,
American haiku, and jazz-drenched dharma boogie.
