Spare Parts Returns From Peru |
 Spare Parts has returned from a wildly successful tour of Peru. The
band spent close to two weeks playing around Lima for the International
Jazz Festival and assorted club gigs. Highlights included playing for
over 1,000 people at El Dragon in Punta Hermosa and having the SNL band
leader Lenny Pickett sit in on saxophone at the Jazz Festival. The
group also had the pleasure of having some great Peruvian
percussionists grace the stage with them and even had an impromptu
performance at a venue in Cusco! Check under the photo tab for a full
selection of photos. Special thanks to everybody who helped support our
efforts for the trip, it would not have been possible without you!
