Warren Vaché, What Was the First Album You Ever Bought?

“What was it? It was Miles Davis’ ‘For Lovers Only’ with the Red Garland Trio. And I bought it primarily because my old man told me that Miles Davis was no good.

So I went out and said, ‘Yes, he is. Listen to this.’ And the argument continues to this day.”

The Howard Alden Jazz All-Star Trio – featuring guitar phenom Howard Alden, trumpeter Warren Vaché | and bassist Jon Burr – slips into the Van Dyck in Schenectady on Saturday (March 22) for shows at 7 & 9:30pm. Tickets are $20 in advance; $24 at the door.
