Hi,
Joyce Williams - The First Thing I Do In The Morning
-
Some funky tunes we quickly recorded in the rehearsal room, as a short demo.
We kept the solos deliberately short, to not bore the venue-owners the demo is intented for
(which are not jazz-stages). The last one even has some yells! (We really had fun playing these ;-)

A classic from the Meters circa 1975, "They All Ask'd For You." (Why they use an apostrophe in the title is beyond me. I would have suggested they just spell it "Axed" for you, but no one asked me....)
Lot of tourist-y footage of New Orleans. As it's going on ten years since I left there, I enjoy that too.
-
Funk is.......strange.
But I like it..

Another New Orleans band I've been back into lately. Yamagishi is always deep in the pocket. Great rhythm chops!

Nice chops!

Dr. John, Allen Toussaint, and the Dalai Lama receive honorary doctorates from Tulane. Doctor Doctor John.

I didn't know the Dalai Lama was funky! ;o) Originally Posted by zigzag

Grant Green's Jan Jan?! LOVE IT! Big Grant Green fan. My band has started playing Grant's tune Matador. Originally Posted by whosgarethparry

Hey Man, Glad you dig. We love those Grant Green/Lou Donaldson vibes, kinda where this band started. On the record I borrowed an Xotic Robotalk 2, a great pedal, i mainly used the right Channel of the 2. The rest was an Ernie Ball wah, which I've since retired...but then i'm always changing wah pedals, i mean, i got a serious problem. I think my dream board would just have 15 wah pedals on it..

Nice bonus track off of Lettuce's last release.
-
Grant Green's son Jr and the most passionate vibes-player I've ever seen!

Found this old recording of my group's saxplayer, when he was still touring with Ronald Shannon Jackson's Free Funk Society. It's not really my cup of tea, but it has a cool solo of Vernon Reid on banjo!
And another one as a bonus (again not really my cup of tea...)
-
End this week with some down home Funk with Derwin "Big D" Perkins on guitar.

Daaamn, Big D is smooth. Nice comping, sweet solo. Thanks for hipping me to him. I'm going to check out more of his stuff. Originally Posted by docbop
