In celebration of Jeff’s birthday, welcome to Episode #2 of the short doc series about the album ‘Slow Magic, 1977-1978.’ These long lost recordings are a window into the secret musical life of the Dude aka Jeff Bridges.
This latest episode dives into the Wednesday Night Jam, a weekly no-holds barred get together in Culver City, California, where Jeff, friends and strangers would fully stretch out, musically-speaking
As Sam Sweet says in his liner notes:
Attendees were invited to participate in spontaneous music making. Steve Baim’s rules were simple: no songs, no blues, no preparation. Those who couldn’t sing were encouraged to sing. Musicians who could play were encouraged to take up instruments they had never tried.
This doc series is compliments of filmmakers Isaac Gale, Paul Lovelace, and Ben Wu (the team behind the acclaimed 2025 documentary, Swamp Dogg Gets His Pool Painted). Stay tuned for Episode #3 dropping later this month.
The album 'Slow Magic, 1977-1978' is available on LP, CD & Digital
