The vibraphonist and percussionist is setting up on Wednesday nights at the uptown club with a different collection of musicians appearing each week. Tonight, bassist James Singleton (Astral Project), guitarist Eddie Roberts (New Mastersounds), and drummer Stanton Moore (Galactic) join him.
I asked Dillon what fans can expect from the first show of his residency at Gasa Gasa.
“I am going to hit it a little old school with Stanton and James. Eddie plays a nice Wes (Montgomery) meets Grant Green style so we are going to play some Milt Jackson and Bobby Hutcherson tunes. We will also be playing some of my instrumental compositions. Eddie Bloom is going to show up as well for a portion of the evening,” he said.
Next Wednesday, Dillon’s guests will be Ryan Montbleau, Marc Friedman, and John Kimock. January 28, expect to see Brian Haas and the return of James Singleton. February 4, the special guests are Terrence Houston, Otto Schrang, and Paul Thibodeaux.
