Len "Boogsie" Sharpe - 1996 solo performance in Tucson, AZ

On October 2 1996, Len "Boogsie" Sharpe presented a steel pan clinic for students at the University of Arizona. He taught us an unnamed tune by rote, then played solos for us. This video shows his improvisation over the tune he taught us and his solos on double seconds and lead pan.
I remember the profound influence this performance had on me in the moment - I had never seen someone TRANSCEND an instrument like this. For many years I thought I had lost this video, but I recently found it and wanted to share it here. Apologies for the original video quality (VHS copy) and for the crudeness of the digitizing method. Thanks to the UASteel (Darin Wadley, director at the time) for sponsoring and setting up this workshop. Thanks also Shad Blair for filming and sharing this. And thanks to Boogsie!
