BONG PEÑERA QUARTET: WAVE-Live Performance
Tags: Bong Peñera Jose Penera Chris Zamora Dong Zamora Dede Sampaio Ross Lahlum Rogeo's Live Performance
April, 1994. The scene was Rogeo's in Chicago, one of the then leading local jazz bars and pubs. It was one those packed shows that the Manila jazz legend held. But this 2 night gig was special. Bong was flanked by the cream of the crop: talented Filipino guitar phenom, Chris "Dong" Zamora on guitars, Ross Lahlum on acoustic bass, and Brazilian genius Dedé Sampaio on drums and percussion. This track is by Antonio Carlos Jobim, entitled "WAVE" and it is culled from a Live CD of Bong entitled "Live at Rogeo's". That this clip should be released now is nothing more than fortuitous. The Filipino music scene has just had a big loss: that of Dong Zamora who had passed away on December 10, 2011, just three months after Manila lost its own, Edgar "Koyang" Avenir, who also played with Bong. There are 13 other tracks including: "Lady Madonna", "Bluesette", "My One and Only Love", "A Samba Song", "O Cantador", "Satin Doll", "Take Five", and many more.
