At the Cutting Room, a classic venue in NYC, a very special four nights of David Bowie music, with a cast of Bowie band alumni.
The singers and players:
JJ Appleton vocals
Jim Boggia vocals
Everett Bradley vocals & percussion
Sophia Anne Caruso vocals
Gail Ann Dorsey vocals, guitar & bass
Catherine Russel vocals, guitar & keyboard
Suzanne Vega vocals
Brian Delaney drums
Henry Hey keyboards and vocals
Gerry Leonard guitar
Donny McCaslin sax & flute
Mark Plati guitar and vocals
The others have played together many times. I was invited to join for this string of shows (having recorded with David) and Gail Ann Dorsey, the wonderful bassist and singer, mostly sang, taking over on bass for a few pieces (which gave me a chance to shoot photos!)
It was some heavy lifting, sorting out the charts for 29 pieces… and I’ll admit that the first night I had my head fairly buried in the music.
But, fun the whole four nights.
A super four night stand for the players and audiences. Hope we can do it again next year!
