NEW YEAR'S EVE AT RYLES... was a raging good time. The show sold out, people were up and dancing, and we
were joined by special guests Mike Tucker on sax, James Jones on drums, and Will Pirone on harmonica. All in all, it
was an incredible night. Thanks so much to everyone who joined us and ushered in 2008 in funkin' style!

featuring The Pat Metheny Group during their "We Live Here" tour of Japan in 1995, followed by Weather Report, live
