The night was captured on a live album called "Incredible!" and it is. No, I missed that one but I caught the exact same lineup at Bimbo's a couple of years ago. After that show, I immediately found and bought the "Incredible!" CD. I didn't know you were in the audience Martin, now I need to get your autograph on it! Joey DeFrancesco is doing a Jimmy Smith tribute show at Yoshi's next week (he was supposed to be playing with the master). I'm thinking of going. Perhaps Thursday the 17th. for the late show at 10:00. Anyone else into it? I'm sure there won't be a dry eye in the house.
