Jason Parker Quartet Tour – Day 3, Berkeley

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.

Wine Tasting in Humboldt County

Of course, we couldn’t just drive straight through. That would be very un-JPQ-like! So we took our time, stopping at Eureka’s food co-op to have breakfast with some goats, wine tasting at Riverbend Cellars in Humboldt County, attempting and then bailing on driving through a giant redwood and much, much more. In the end, we arrived at The Beta Lounge to find both Rob and another Twitter friend Darin Wilson there (they both sat in with us) as well as my parents, aunt and uncle and many old friends there to hang with us! It was a great day and night all around.

Here’s the video highlight reel of day three:

Once again, the club was too dark to film with my Kodak Zi8, but I did get some audio. Here we are playing “Bashert” with Rob sitting in a killin’ it on guitar:
