A Look Back at the Karriem Riggins’ Virtuoso Experience

Last month, VTech was proud to bring you the acclaimed and sold out Karriem Riggins Virtuoso Experience with shows in Seattle, Oakland and Minnesota. The quartet featuring Karriem Riggins on drums, Mulgrew Miller on piano and rhodes, Warren Wolf on vibes and Joe Sanders on bass presented their audiences with shows filled with talent and energy, performing music from diverse musical sources.

On June 25^th, a few hours before Karriem’s show in Oakland, CA at Yoshi’s, news broke that the King of Pop, Michael Jackson had passed.When surprise guest and bay area songstress Goapele showed up to join Karriem and the band on stage, she asked to do a short song dedication in memory of Michael Jackson.

Here is a dedication snippet to MJ on the day of his passing from the Karriem Riggins’ Quartet and Goapele with their version of “Can’t help it”.
