Check out this awesome video of Hiram Bullock rocking out at the Baku International Jazz Festival in June 2007. If you look closely you can see me sitting right behind him (at about 40 seconds into it) as he rocks out in the crowd! I totally remember this moment and I'm so my friend Elnur Baba from Azerbaijan caught it on film!
