Emotional Rescue is the Stones' latest release; it joins Black and Blue and Some Girls to establish the sound and direction of the band in the '70s. The band has always changed its character when a new guitarist joined the core group of Jagger, Richards, drummer Charlie Watts and bassist Bill Wyman--the oeuvre is most easily divided into the Brian Jones years, the Mick Taylor years, and the Ronnie Wood years.

The legendary bassist-composer had planned to attend the concert; his death in January at age 56 makes this performance a timely tribute to a stormy giant of American music. Trumpeter par excellence Ted Curson, who was a member of the Mingus Jazz Workshop in the early 60's, will be on hand to provide some of the spirit that Mingus passed on to all those with whom he played...
