Ruth Davies Blues Night at Stanford Jazz Festival features Elvin Bishop, Wednesday, July 22, 2009. This annual event has featured many top names from Henry Butler to Brenda Boykin. This is the only show, Ruth says, that she is the leader. Otherwise, she is happy as a sidewoman. The bassist joins Bishop, whose latest album, "The Blues Rolls On," was nominated for a Grammy. Ruth is on the title track on bass. This show will also feature a rebroadcast of the special interview with Jeff Chambers who is hosting a tribute for Buddy Montgomery also Wednesday, July 22, in San Francisco at Yoshi's. Terrence Brewer joins Jeff for a conversation about Buddy's brother Wes, whose work Terrence features on his latest CD.
