Alphonso Johnson: Afro Blue

Kevin sent me this incredible video of Alphonso Johnson‘s band performing Mongo SantamarĂ­a’s “Afro Blue,” which was popularized by John Coltrane.

This was a new group Alphonso formed earlier this year, with Frank Ricci on guitars, Gary Fukushima on keyboards, and Senri Kawaguchi on drums. And what a killer band it is!
