When I was ever so much younger my group friends and I used to go up to Mount Tamalpais, look out to San Francisco, Marin, East Bay, all of Northbay and all the down to Southbay and wonder what this view was like 500 years ago. This truly is a beautiful part of the world we live in and today we have so much that has contributed to the beauty of our land. I would like to think the Indians from 500 years ago would be OK with so many people from around the world now calling this place home, what we've done and the talent of art that grown from this mix.
This year I have spent much time on fine tuning the Percussion Section beats, patterns and breaks, working in players in each of the five positions while working on strategies to build the BAUTISTA name. Stepping up and taking on a serious attitude of band leader is like being a company CEO that sees the vision and puts out effort to achieve the planned results. I need a vacation already!
Next up this Saturday, August 9 BAUTISTA is at Larkspur Landing Courtyard so join us as we dance with the ancient spirits and the firey spirits of our friends and celebrate life and living. We'll start at 5:00 with the ever so smooth Peter Warren on Set Drums, my good friend Paul Sonnabend on Congas, the elegant touch of Mark Briseno on Timbales/Hand Percussions, the Fat Fusion Bass lines of Mark Purvis and yours truly on my Gibson Guitars. This is the time and the place to lose yourself in the Latin Jazz Fusion sounds of BAUTISTA.
Check out the BAUTISTA website for upcoming shows!
See you soon!
