Quint Davis promised that the TBA on the 2012 Jazz Fest lineup
was a “mind-blowing reunion.” In fact, it’s the remaining original
Beach Boys – Brian Wilson, Mike Love and Al Jardine, with long-time
members Bruce Johnston and David Marks – who are also coming together
for a new studio album, their first together since 1980′s Keepin’ the Summer Alive. The album and tour will be part of a celebration of 50 years of the Beach Boys.
On the press release on the Beach Boys’ website announcing the reunion, Quint Davis says:
It’s an honor to present the original Beach Boys reunion at Jazz
Fest 2012. Hosting the greatest artists of our era has always been the
primary mission of Jazz Fest, and certainly the Beach Boys are
unsurpassed as an iconic American musical and cultural institution.
Every spring Jazz Fest is the number one destination for good vibrations
and fun, fun, fun; on April 27, when the Beach Boys reunite on our
biggest stage, it’s going to feel like a thrilling homecoming for
everyone lucky enough to be there. We’re all looking forward to
experiencing the magic and the joy.
Also from the press release:
Brian Wilson says, “This anniversary is special to me because I
miss the boys and it will be a thrill for me to make a new record and be
on stage with them again.” read more
