However, the blues can also be joyful, and the idiom is the foundation for an infinite variety of musical styles, including those of Bop masters Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker and the ‘sheets of sound’ of John Coltrane. Join conductor, John Capobianco, the Jinks Band and their great vocalists, Jamie Davis and Tom Liles, as they celebrate the blues.”

Situato a 75 miglia a nord di San Francisco, il Bohemian Grove, copre circa 2.700 ettari di magnifici abeti di Douglas e sequoie, alcuni più di 1.000 anni. A partire dal 2007, c’erano 118 campi, distribuiti intorno alla caratteristica centrale del sito: un lago artificiale, sorvegliato da un imponente Santuario di gufo, dove si tiene la famigerata cerimonia di “Cremazione delle cure” all’inizio di ogni accampamento.
