Vinnie live @ Yoshis

Damn it!!
i just reserved my tickets to L.A and the trip back was settled on the 19th of may. [img]mad.gif[/img] [img]mad.gif[/img]
can anyone here confirm that Vinnie will really be there those three nights?
If any of you can come up with a 100%reliable info,i'll buy him a drink at the show.
I need a fast answer as i may have to change the tickets.I can't let this one go man.
This might be the only chance i'll ever get to see Vinnie live,since he don't go on tours around the world anymore.
Please someone help me. [img]graemlins/cry.gif[/img]
Maybe Erskoman could help me out on this one? [img]wink.gif[/img]

Ask Jimmy Haslip. www.jimmyhaslip.com

Vinnie has toured with Bill Evans before so I'm sure he'll be there.

Aw, c'mon; you mean, you don't like a good Chokefest?! Smothers Brothers show, anyone?...maybe they should rename the spud to just that..."Smothers Brothas [& Sistas]"...or, "Fire Code Enforcements Hole in the Wall"...
Can anyone say, "building addition or expand the property?" [if possible]

Sheesh - just some of the acts I wish I could see [AWA afford to] at Yoshi's [if I was there!]

Man, the SE US absolutely sux compared to this.

P Metheny, 'Jackets, Branford, & Chick get through here once every yr [or half-decade or so! - some, like Allan H, haven't been here for at least 10 or much more - wth]...
Jazz Is Dead, Wootens, or Kimock w Rodney busted thru here a couple weeks ago & we thought we had manna fr the skies...

Forget that education...guess it's back to [c]rap, cuntry, southern rock [w a few exceptions], House / techn'HO / looped dirty-dance, & 3-4 bar-chord hard-rock w relatively few hits/kicks for me...Yee-hawww...hoo boy, weeeee...

...where's my bling, pimped-out ride, beeyotches, stash, gin-n-juice, poop-boots, belt-buckle, & dip, yo?

Fuse-i just left a post on Haslip's forum to get some infos,but i'm not sure this is the right place to do it...
anyone has his PM? [img]redface.gif[/img]
maybe it's too much asking...
i feel so desperate right now,they gonna charge me alot of money to have my tickets changed.
still hopin' tho' [img]wink.gif[/img]

i'm there!

shedder-WHERE are you?

does ANYBODY have any idea of what kind of stuff they'll be doing....i.e straight ahead jazz, a bit-o-fusion, intense fusion...etc. etc.. the reason i ask is because i am SERIOUSLY considering buying a plane ticket and going to at least 2 nights of this show. i would really like to know if vinnie will be burning on this gig ala 'blue note tokyo', karizma, dyno four, kind of stuff. don't get me wrong, i love vinnie but if i am going to spend that kind of dough to fly out and see him, it would be nice to know what i am going to see. which is hopefully some crazy vinnie shiiiite!
thanks to anyone who has a good educated guess!

Shedder let's talk. I think I'm going to go up too.

There used to be a clip of Vinnie playing this gig on the net. Maybe someone's still got it. It was jazz/funk stuff and Vinnie was playing pretty agressive.

I would expect the same at this gig. If this is your only chance to see him, you'd be crazy not to go.
