Today JazzPDX brings you another video from Carlton Jackson’s collection on YouTube. This particular video is of a group called LeBon that Carlton describes as:
a rollicking, wonderful noise was LeBon,
during their 10 year run in Portland, OR music circles.
Formed by music critic Rick Mitchell, this band set a standard for the alternative music crowd that went to see the band play.
The video features a few players you still see around Portland today including Carlton, Denny Bixby, Warren Rand, and Terry Robb.
Personally, I highly recommend Rand’s solo which starts at about 4:30.

i had no idea this existed. i don’t know what she was looking for but my wife somehow came upon this clip. i have an audio tape of this gig but it does not sound as clean as this and whoever did the video did a nice job. and i look young and fit…
thank you, carlton, for posting this, and thank you, bobby torres, for the conga solo…

Thanks for chiming in Rick.
I don’t know if Carlton has more of this to post, but you can find his YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/soulbol
I was just talking to Warren today and he was looking forward to watching this clip.
