Jackson Bunn Group: 2009-7-8 at Van Dyke Cafe (Upstairs)

At the Van Dyke Cafe, powerful jazz spells cast by the Jackson Bunn Group had pronounced effects. Ana said, “ . . . their jazz feeds the soul. One minute I am seriously enjoying the band and just happy to be alive, feeling fortunate to be there at this moment . . . the next minute, I am diving deeper into the music, listening intently at how they take complex passages and deliver smooth glorious perfection . . . pure heaven . . . then I forget the analysis and just enjoy . . . ” A clue to their style: Jackson likes the Yellowjackets. Above, we see Jackson Bunn on keyboards, Floyd Shields on bass and vocals, Dave McMeniman on drums, Wayne Gutshall on saxophone, and Mitch Farber on guitar. Jackson Bunn has released two CD's and has websites at http://www.jacksonbunn.com and http://www.myspace.com/jacksonbunngroup.
