 Vuyani Wakaba was invited to participate in a bass show called "Jauqo III-X & The Elbo Room Present: One Night of Bass!" This show was held at the Elbo Room in Chicago, Illinois, on September 7th, 2009 from 8:30pm to 12:30am.  Besides Vuyani Wakaba, the other bass players who were performing with their bands were: Bill Dickens, Will Howard, John Owens, Scott PazeraBill Clements, and the event organizer Jauqo III-X.  This show is held twice a year and the performers participate by invitation only.

Simply being invited is a great honor because past performers have included some of the best bass players in Chicago, as well as out of town bassists like Brian Beller (played with Steve Vai, and is a Bass Player Magazine columnist), Doug Johns, etc.  For this occasion, Vuyani put together a brand new jazz fusion quintet composed of his friends.  On percussion, Vuyani invited drummer Chris Edwards, on drums is Adrian Garza, on electric guitar is Adrian's brother Juan Garza, on keyboard/sax/flute is Dennis Sindberg.  Folks, these cats are on fire!

This show was webcasted worldwide.  For those who would like to see an archive of this show, please join us!  Vuyani Wakaba's set is clearly labeled.  A big thank you to Bass Frontiers Magazine for publicizing this event.  Their support is deeply appreciated!  Also, Bass Musician Magazine reviewed this performance.  Check it out!
