Rawk 3

Longtime D_____ venue Gilly's looked exactly like it had for, I dunno, twenty-five years. I mean, I had not been in the place in at least, I dunno, ten years? Nothing was different. I said this to bass player Chris, who said "yeah, but remember the stage was on the other side in 80's?" He was right.

This place used to bring in all the jazz cognoscenti, your Sun Ra, your Cannonball Adderley, your Chuck Mangione, Sonny Rollins, etc...and the pictures of same jazzoids linger in the lobby, crumbling with time:














Although this may have been from Chet's guest shot on Taxi...
