Baker’s Brew – ready to take the stage at The Main theater in Santa Clarita. Baker’s Brew is an experimental ambient jazz quartet based in Los Angeles, California. The group is led by drummer Maury Baker whose performing/recording credits include Janis Joplin, Tim Buckley, Frank Zappa and many many others. Jim Goetsch does double duty on keyboards and soprano sax. Daniel Coffeng transcends all musical genres on guitar. Carl Royce on contrabass and electronics.

I took Gary Peacock out on a quest for a flat-back bass and we ran into the great Putter Smith at Stein on Vine. We also stopped in at L.A. Bassworks.

Drummer/percussionist Breeze Smith. It is my great pleasure to create with Breeze in the alt-jazz trio DBC:Unit.

Iconic electric violinist and composer David Strother represents at least one-third of the alt-jazz trio DBC:Unit.
