Stephen Stills knows a thing or two about being a member of a trio. And his new band, a three-piece blues-rock outfit called the Rides, presents one of the more intriguing team-ups of the year.
It was 43 years ago today (May 14th, 1970) that Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (CSNY) released their single "Ohio" as a tribute to four students killed by National Guardsmen on May 4th, 1970 during anti-war protests at Ohio's Kent State University.
Crosby, Stills & Nash did the second of their two shows with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra at the Rose Theater in New York Friday. The concert, along with Wednesday’s private gala, was to benefit Jazz at Lincoln Center.
Stephen Stills says all the dynamics and circles that the four members bring to the group makes being a part of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young a little like being in junior high.
