For those of you too young to remember, there was a live music show on US television at the end of the 80's,called Night Music. Hosted by saxophonist David Sanborn, it was some of the most adventurous music ever to make it onto network TV, and truly eclectic, featuring artists as divergent as Sun Ra, Squeeze, Gladys Night, Sonic Youth, Wayne Shorter, Slim Gaillard, and John Zorn. Here are two of my favorite bands from the period playing on the show, both featuring Joey Baron. First, Bill Frisell's quartet with Kermit Driscoll and Hank Roberts:
... and then Tim Berne's Fractured Fairy Tales:
Another nice clip of Baron, with the sans-Roberts Bill Frisell trio after the break:
