The Jazz Voyager

From the ATL to the City of Angels The Jazz Voyager is on a flight cross-country to for a little bit of jazz. It’s been a while since I’ve been in this venue. So jumping into the rental car and heading north on the 101 for twenty minutes is the next leg of the trip. The destination is a small venue called The Baked Potato. The hundred and twenty seat venue is intimate in its wood-paneled walls and autographed posters.

Hitting the bandstand is the Dave Weckl Quartet. Led by the drummer who the band is named, was once an integral member of Chick Corea’s Elektric Band for six years beginning in 1985. He also appeared with Corea’s Akoustic Band. He said he “augmented his work with Corea by continuing his session work and appearing often with the GRP All-Star Big Band.

Filling out his quartet are vocalist Chrissi Poland, guitarist Oz Noy, and bassist Jimmy Haslip.

The Baked Potato is located at 3787 Cahuenga Boulevard, Studio City, CA 91604 For more information visit https://www.thebakedpotato.com.
