Pulling up to the Lobero Theatre on a tranquil Monday evening, March 25, the scene was set for a night far from ordinary. Lyle Lovett's scheduled acoustic performance was underscored by the presence of two large tour buses and a colossal semi-truck, hinting at the grandeur that awaited inside the modest 600-seat venue. The "acoustic" label scarcely did justice to the evening's arrangement, with a host of entertainers enhancing the festivities.

The Immediate Family took the stage at The Mint, one of LA's premier mid-sized venues, on February 13, marking the beginning of a brief tour with scheduled dates in both California and Florida. The band boasts an assembly of iconic session musicians: Russ Kunkel on drums, Leland Sklar on bass, Danny Kortchmar, Steve Postell, and Waddy Wachtel on guitars. Kortchmar and Postell primarily handle the lead vocals.

Electric bass player Jukka Haavisto's first self-titled album 'Reflections' is out today, November 25th 2022. Recorded live at Latosound in Tampere (Finland), the album brings back thoughts to the best fusion jazz records of the 70's. Catchy compositions, skillful playing and the energy of young virtuosos create an irresistible combination for all fans of electric jazz.

You may not know the name Leland Sklar but you almost certainly have heard his bass lines if you listened to rock radio in the last five decades.
