Flea Plays Jazz at Cal Tech, 23 January 2009
Chris invited us to go to see Flea playing a free concert at CalTech's Beckman Auditorium with their jazz bands, playing trumpet to such tunes as Blue Train, Some Skunk Funk, Take the A Train, Basin Street Blues, El Macho Muchacho, and Billie's Bounce, as well as new musical arrangements by Les and Elliot Deutsch... |
...while not forgetting the instrument that he's most famous for with the Chili Peppers. |
Flea appeared nervous at first, later telling the audience that he was "kinda terrified", but sounded good. William Bing, Director, presents him with a toy set of golf clubs at the end of the evening's performance as the Thursday jazz band, literally filled with employees of CalTech, JPL, and NASA, look on in amusement. |
