Darren Beckett

[jazz music]

[jazz music][jazz music] "Boppin' for Pat" was the title of that one, composed and played by Lee Meihan, the guitarist, with, uh, Dave Redmond featured there on the bass, Michael Buckley on tenor, Scott Flanagan on the piano, and, uh, Darren Beckett on drums.

That was, um, from Lee Meihan's 2023 album, which he called Some of Us are Looking at the Stars.

Well, I think we can legitimately digress here because although this version of the Hotbox is dedicated to music from Ireland, we weren't to know that one of the world's best jazz singers would pass away just as we were assembling this show: Cassandra Wilson.
