Stephan’s Basement Video Series

Jeremy Dutton and I talked about Stephan’s Basement briefly on the podcast. I think I remember that Stephan has a jazz club in Switzerland and when artists come through, he has them over for dinner and then invites the drummers to play on his massive set.

The list of drummers so far is impressive and it’s fun to see what they do with such a huge kit.

This week I was excited to see JK Kim get his turn. I’m a big fan of his playing.

Joe Farnsworth at the Dakota

If you follow me on Instagram you’ve seen that I often post from the Dakota jazz club in Minneapolis. I live very close.

There aren’t many seats in the club that don’t have a decent view of the stage, but they have screens around the club with a live feed for anyone that wants a better view.

I’ve always wished that they’d release some of those videos and my wish has been granted!

Check out both sets from Emmet Cohen’s time there a couple of weeks ago. I suspect that Emmet twisted their arm to get the footage since he’s so popular and savvy with social media. Enjoy!
