A little-publicized show sponsored by the Big Sur Arts Initiative at Al's recording studio. Proceeds for this benefit concert went to the Big Sur JazzMasters clinic. A nearly-sold out crowd of 125. Other artists included Bruce & Pamela Forman’s CowBop, Alan Boyd, Stephen Kalinich, and Hey Stevie. Hey Stevie was Al's back-up band for his performance. Here is Les Chan's review as posted on the BBB Message Board.
Archive note: This was quite possibly the first performance of "Christmas Day".
