"I am a very fortunate fellow on many levels, and now and again I have to sit back and take stock and relish the fact that I've been able to befriend and collaborate with so many amazing artists in and around the music world," Claypool comments. "That list of champions is about to get a notable addition with the upcoming Bastard Jazz shows with the mighty Vinnie Colaiuta on drums. I've met Vinnie a few times but have never had the opportunity to stand before him with a four-string hunk of furniture in my hands. Those of you in the know will understand the epic possibilities of this impending interaction. Those of you who don't, I suggest you get on the YouTube machine and go down the Vinnie wormhole. Your brain may melt." - https://bassmagazine.com/artists/les-claypool-announces-bastard-jazz-nye-performances-with-drummer-vinnie-colaiuta
