I saw BS&T at UC in the late '60s.
Lew Soloff -- well, we had to guess that it was Lew -- spent the entire concert wearing a full-face, rubber, gorilla mask.
Had the mpc stuck thru the little slit for the mouth.
It was the '60s |

I saw them at one of the mid-70's shows that ended up on the live album. The horn section at that show consisted of Tony Klatka and Joe Giorgiani (trumpets), Bill Tillman (sax, flute) and David Bargeron (bone, tuba). Ron McClure played bass, Steve Kahn on guitar.

Here is your core. I suppose they pick up another trumpet and maybe a trombone on tour. Just a guess.
Bo Bice – Lead Vocals (placed second to someone on American Idol years ago)
Dylan Elise -Drums
Glen McClelland-Keyboards
Ric Fierabracci -Bass
Brad Mason- Lead Trumpet & Musical Director
- he has a website and impressibe back ground.
Ken Gioffre – Sax/Flute

I sure didn’t know Mike Stern was on Guitar. He was another level and I’m very surprised he played with them. He also did an album with Miles. Stern carried the album. He also did one with Eric Johnson which is very tasty. |

Tony Klatka is/was and EXCELLENT player!! In 1970 I was on tour with a 6 piece band and we came in to Canton, Ohio on a Monday to start a 2 week week gig on Tuesday. I saw that Woody Herman's big band was playing in the club that night so of course I went early and got a front row table! To say that the band was "on" that night would be an understatement!!! The best part was sitting on each break and talking trumpet with Klatka and lead player Forrest Beuchtel. BOTH of them were such nice and engaging guys. We got talking about Schilke trumpets as I was playing a B6Lb at the time. Tony was playing an X3 and Beuchtel a B3. GREAT time that night!!

I'm sure the current band is excellent. That said, BS&T without David Clayton-Thomas just does not do it for me. I saw them in the early 70's with Jerry Fisher and it just wasn't the right sound. Jerry was an excellent singer but it wasn't BS&T to my ears.
DCT is the voice that people from my era associate with the band. I heard them in the late70's, the late 90's and early 2000's with him and he still sounded great. I read he went back to Canada and presumably is still performing. |

Believe it or not, I made my correction above BEFORE seeing this! Re: Klatka - great player and arranger. Check out the Woody Herman album 'Thundering Herd' (https://www.discogs.com/Woody-Herman-Thundering-Herd/release/1074357) for some great arrangements and solos by Klatka. I particularly like his arrangement of Zappa's 'America Drinks and Goes Home'. |

I just about wore out the 2nd BS&T album (you know, the old school vinyl thingy) when I was in my last year of High School, '69 and later albums when I was in college. I was, like every young trumpet player in that period, a huge Lew Soloff, as well as David Clayton Thomas fan. I had a long dinner conversation with Tony Klatka at "Storyville" in New Orleans sometime in the early '80s when he lived there for a while. Very nice man. A few years later, Jerry Fisher had a club, "Dock of the Bay" across the street from my business in Bay St. Louis, MS, so I got to hear him perform regularly with his house band and had many long conversations with him and his wife, Melva. I also got to play with Tom Malone when he subbed one evening with my regular rock band at one of the Gulf Coast Casinos during that same period. We all went to Jerry Fisher's club after the gig and heard him perform with "Fish". That was a great experience as well! I would really like to see BS&T live and will keep an eye open for anything that gets close to my area.

This was in the mid 70's at least 5 years before he played with Miles. I think he did one tour with them from what I've read in interviews, and he says he was pretty green at the time. When I moved to Boston in 1980 Stern played with at least two of the biggest fusion bands in town - Tiger's Baku (led by trumpeter Tiger Okoshi) and I seem to remember him and Kevin Eubanks switching off on the guitar chair in drummer Tommy Campbell's band. It's all a bit fuzzy now.... |

David Clayton Thomas came to our neck of the woods years back. He was hired to do 2 nights at our little riverboat casino lounge. He walked in, took a quick look around, asked for a phone with an outside line, and called New York and fired his manager. His comment was, "I don't play no Motel 6 lounges"...After much cajoling by the booking agent, with DCT sitting outside the place in a limo, he finally agreed to do the show. Once he hit the stage (with a REALLY good band of young cats from NYC) he killed it, and no one was the wiser that there had been a problem....  |

DCT is an amazing performer. I met Steve Katz about 2 years ago, he had recently written a book and it was on sale at the performance I attended. Steve was one of the original members of BS&T as well as Blues Project. He had nothing but praise for DCT as a singer in the book. His opinion about DCT as a human being was the polar opposite.
Steve does one man shows in small halls. He's a very fine finger style guitarist rooted in blues and folk.
DCT did a meet and greet at a BS&T show I attended in the late 90's or early 2000's My wife and I got in line to say hi. When we got up to where he was sitting he barely looked at us. He was too busy staring at some young 20 something girl in a pair of tight jeans. Looked like he was about to drool. He was about 60 at the time. What a lech!
I will say the show was excellent and he sounded amazing. The band was tight and sounded great. |
