On September 23, 2022 Primus & Primus, Unltd. were invited to check out Soulbleed which was playing at NUBLU in the East Village. We felt right at home as we knew most of the musicians playing who were master's in their own right. We had been communicating with Seiki Yukimoto through Facebook, and even helped to promote the event through social media and emails.
We were not the main photographers or videographers that night but were inspired to catch some photographs and a bit of video of the musicians playing that night. By the way it was John Coltrane's birthday and the musicians definitely pushed the envelope, playing like a boxing match. No, they didn't beat each other up, but each soloist pushed the next soloist to a higher level of playing. It was an amazing night which will be repeated this September 22, 2023. I advise you to get your tickets as this event only happens once a year and each year it only gets better.
Here is a short slice of video:
