Description
Zasu Pitts Memorial Orchestra was not only THE dance and party band in San Francisco during the ‘80s, the band virtually drew the blueprint for all the other party bands that followed. When bandleader Steve Ashman first trotted out the Motown and Stax oldies with a big band, horn section in the back, girl group in beehive hairdos at the front, those songs had been tucked away, gathering dust.Together for the first time in more than twenty years, the most popular lineup of Zasu Pitts Memorial Orchestra will return to the scene of the band's greatest glories in an all-star benefit concert for one of the Zasu's fellow musicians. Opening the show will be Butch Whacks and the Glass Packs.
Saxophonist Morey Goldstein played with the original band, as did his wife, vocalist Katie Guthorn. Goldstein was diagnosed this spring with a terminal brain tumor and the band immediately agreed to come back together to play a benefit.
