ED BLACKWELL QUARTET "TIN PALACE 1979"

 

This concert was most probably part of a double bill with the Moffett Family.

The picture above is from the Tin Palace. But obviously and unfortunately after it was used as a location for many wonderful concerts... And don't miss the interview Ted Panken conducted with Edward Blackwell in May 1986 https://tedpanken.wordpress.com/2011/07/21/edward-blackwell-wkcr-may-4-1986
