Leslie Medford : trumpet, b-vox
Greg Gibson - sax
Dana Woodaman - sax

Fronted by the ever-engaging Lee Shupp on vocals, the Bohemian Luv Jones were an entertaining live act to encounter in 1987-88 San Francisco, and I was delighted to briefly be involved. A campy Cab Calloway in swampy burlesque, veering into 60's garage, Brando v Stella, or Art Punk - whichever, all posed and fun. Often, they featured 3 horns, and sometimes female backing singers. Guitarist Brad Orgeron (aka Jack Orion) compiled a 21-track Bohemian Luv Jones Bandcamp album called "Aces Wild"; furthermore there are nine video performances on YouTube...I glimpse myself in one. Ophelias fan Brad O recruited me on trumpet and I recall playing three high energy shows with BLJ in early 1987. And somehow I recorded about 20 minutes of this Valentine's Day show on my mini-Sony cassette recorder. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this may be the best-sounding Bohemian Luv Jones recording of all! Good Graciousness! —Leslie Medford
