Jason Parker Quartet Tour – Day 2, McKinleyville CA

The Jason Parker Quartet hit the road for a two-week tour in May 2010. We were equipped with audio, video and cameras to document the whole experience. You can find all posts about the tour here.

Along the way we had a huge breakfast in Eugene, stopped to play some frisbee, got some words of wisdom from Evan, checked out the giant redwoods and grooved to some killer music. Here’s the day two video highlight reel:

The bar was too dark to get video, but I did get a audio recording of the show. The sound quality isn’t great, but here’s two performances that are pretty cool:
