Ropeadope Records Posts Final Jam At The Wetlands Preserve

In the early morning hours of September 11, 2001 famed NYC nightclub Wetlands Preserve closed its doors after a superjam for the ages featuring DJ Logic, Mike Gordon, Stanley Jordan, Warren Haynes and others. Just a few hours after the superjam was finished, a pair of planes flew into the World Trade Center changing life as we knew it in New York City. Though future shows at Wetlands were planned in the days following, they were canceled which left the superjam as the final performance at the venue.

In honor of the release of Soule Monde’s debut EP on Friday Ropeadope Records dug into its archives and came out with a recording of the superjam which began on September 10, 2001. The recording below starts with a speech from the last Wetlands owner Peter Shapiro and continues with the improv-heavy superjam led by DJ Logic.

Videographer Larry Blumenstein recorded the action on September 10, 2001 and has shared three clips from the evening on YouTube:
