Now In: DVDs → Vassar Clements & His Holiday Band DVD
For many of us, our first exposure to Vassar was his playing with Dickey Betts on the Highway Call album and the subsequent tour back in 1974. Through the years his playing has added immensely to the many bands he jammed with. This DVD was recorded at Seney-Stovall Chapel in Athens, Georgia on December 18, 2004. This performance was an amazing event; filled to the brim with spontaneous jams, trash can solos, and will not soon be forgotten by those attending. Vassar spent the last month of his working life, giving his gift of music to help friends and strangers alike. We were all blessed to be a part of his long and generous life.
