The Northgate Quartet live in Oakland audio up at Archive.org

 

https://archive.org/details/4-16-14

The group on this recording was put together by woodwinds player/poet/visual artist Jim Ryan. Jim's idea was that a group with himself and probably me would form a core unit which would play at elder residential facilities. Our one time doing so happened at one such place on 24th and MLK in Oakland. I wish I could remember the names of the pianist and conga player, but that information is completely lost to me. This is the closest I ever came to playing some kind of Jazz in public. Who knows if that's good or bad I guess.
