We caught up with Dave Holland and Zakir Hussain backstage before their performance on November 1, 2017. In this video, Dave and Zakir chat about their past visits to Ann Arbor and about what makes Ann Arbor audiences extra great.

Sound check through the backstage peephole at Hill Auditorium. Raul Midón checks before his performance with Dianne Reeves Quartet.

When the jazz trio The Bad Plus arrived in Ann Arbor last week for their two-set show at the Mendelssohn Theatre, we gave them a Flip Cam and asked them to shoot some backstage video for their fans.  The results are amazing — drummer David King took the lead and hilarious antics ensued.  So, if you didn’t get enough of these amazing, funny, and smart musicians when they were here, check out this video!  (Be sure not to miss the “honey bear” moment around 5:08!)
