Our Bop Stop Anniversary Week wraps up with a bonus performance from Sam Blakeslee and Wistful Thinking. Sam Blakeslee and Wistful Thinking return to celebrate the release of their second album. Recorded during COVID on the heels of 2021’s “The Long Middle”, this performance celebrates the release of “Busy Body” produced and mixed in Cincinnati, Cleveland, and New York City.
Busy Body features contributions from legendary percussionist Jamie Haddad and a more expansive set of recordings than the former album, with Sam Blakeslee on trombone, Chris Coles on saxophones, Brandon Coleman on guitar and Matt Weiss on bass.
And from the second set of a November 5th, 2022 performance It's Sam Blakeslee and Wistful Thinking Live at the Bop Stop.
