For those in or near the San Francisco Bay Area, Brian Tairaku Ritchie and Shakuhachi Club SFO will be performing "Shakuhachi Jazz and Blues" at The Riptide bar on Friday, October 3rd.
For those who haven't been to The Riptide, it's a wonderful, funky little bar on the edge of the continent in San Francisco's Sunset District. Never a cover charge! The Riptide is my local watering hole and we're all jazzed about the gig!
Come on out, have a Bombay Sapphire martini and enjoy some inspiring music!

Date: Friday, October 3, 2008. 9:30 PM

Geni,
Roger Rocha on guitar and Steve Mackay of Iggy Pop and the Stooges on sax. Plus special guests TBA. I may sit in a bit on bass and shakuhachi as well.
Justin TV? Hmmm.. Interesting. I'll see if they have an internet connection. Good idea!

I just got a call from Jordanian percussion wiz Hani Naser, who will join the gig.
Free admission to any www.shakuhachiforum.com members!

Ooooh! Hani Naser often gigs with the estimable and very greasey David Lindley.
Break both legs, Tairaku! Wish I could be in on that number.

Hi Kiku!
I believe you can see the rehearsal at Mujitsu's channel. Follow this link and it should bring you to the first video:

That's funny, I had problems too. I watched it for a while without difficulty, but when I signed in to chat, I couldn't see or hear the broadcast, though I could still read the chat. And I haven't been able to connect since. I figured it was just my crappy old computer.

The gig was great. Hani flew in from LA, Perry flew in from NYC, Steve flew in from Prague, I flew in from Tasmania. Roger and Ken were already in SF.
Lots of fans, including 2 who came in from Tasmania! They said nobody could understand what they were saying.
Anyway a picture is worth a thousand words or whatever. These were taken by Peter Yung on his mobile.

Man that was fun! It was an extreme honor and pleasure playing with Shakuhachi Club SF.
Brian, any Shakuhachi Club NY gigs in the works?
Peace, Perry

That's one of the patrons dogs. They unofficially allow dogs in the bar so regulars often bring them along.
