The show actually was broadcast all over the country, but each city airs
it (if their NPR affiliate carries the show...) at a different time.

I do have a tape of the show (one side of a 120 min tape - no breaks) if
people out there want to do some tradin'. The CHT stuff was pretty cool
and the Medeski, Martin & Wood stuff kicked, as always, although they
didn't play any of their REALLY sick shit and Branford Marsalis
completely introduced the wrong song. Geez, they only played two. How
hard could it be, B?

Also, if anyone's interested, the MMW internet masses have dozens of live
tapes - check out their homepage for more information. These guys are
absolutely sick live and are hands down THE funkiest jazz group on Earth
at present. No joke.

Peace,

Brian
