I would love to hear from anybody who attends any of the shows. With a cast like this, it promises to be very exciting indeed.
Just came across this post - I actually attended and recorded an interview with Leon Spencer as well. The shows were great. It makes me sad to say it now that he's passed but Melvin Sparks was really on fire as a guitarist and a singer on the four sets I saw. Mr. Queen was what you expect from him: crisp on the drums and great on the mic. Leon Spencer was rusty; it wasn't the same Spencer you hear on those Sonny Stitt albums, but it was great to hear him nonetheless.
