superband is totally the word here.  not much more to be said about that!  the venue, on the other hand, is a bit mysterious.  as far as i can tell, the riverview supper club closed in 2000 and the site is now condos.  and yet, the occasional later reference on the internet,  like this tim warfield setlist from 2016 or this caitlin robertson setlist from 2019.  (i’m not familiar with those musicians, btw.)  the cover is an old photo of the original riverview supper club (1980-2000), and details of its namesake are no doubt out there somewhere.  ps, the cover is not in the zip file; click on the image if you want it.

what a lineup!  b.sax, t.sax and organ!  i have no memory of this from when i downloaded it in march 2020, and you’d think that i would!  but then again that was a busy time, cancelling flights, learning to wear masks, and so forth.  anyway, glad this has been dredged up from the archive!

this might be a nice companion piece for this 1967 krzysztof komeda show with a much younger tomasz stanko.  nice to see things going around like that.  not anything that i’ve seen before since i don’t watch polanskiy’s films.  nice line up, too!  looking for this on the web, i did run across a jazz(ish) blog i’ve not seen before, musica degradata, who shared the show back in 2013 (dead link now).
