Jay Funk Dawg

I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled.. I can't say that I'll be in any shape to check it out... Although I really want to go!!

I was talking to Mark last night and he's super excited to be back in Toronto... he's been on the phone with his Toronto hippie harem, and looks like we're going get out some dancers... hope to see ya there...

The boys tell me that it's going to be a mostly original tune set..

Here's two songs we're gonna hear;

The Moses Mayes show starts at about 10 PM.... with this catcherific rockin' band based out of Kensington Market called "Recordbreaker" starting it off... at about half past 11 PM or so, Moses Mayes will hit the stage with a full blown funk assault.

come out and support Mark and his crew... he's got one of the biggest hearts in our jam scene. This is a rare Toronto engagement.

keep on keepin' on Shain!

Soulive is playing tonight... I'm pumped!

I got a copy of their new Live CD, and it is so different from their studio stuff... I like it much better, it's really a jazz-funk thing with some hip-hop thrown in the mix. Some amaizing players, it's really that 60's organ-drums-guitar vibe a la Grant Green, with the keyboard player playing the bass lines. It's actually quite incredible, as the organist plays this really driving funky basslines that really propels the solo improvisations (be it on organ or guitar). The band has some good banter which helps to reveals how really soulful the group is. The only problem I'm finding with the CD is that there is very minimal personel information, you can tell that there are guests (mostly horns), some times you don't really know how many people are on stage... I think that one of the reasons why I'm so pumped to check 'em out tonight... to really see what the hell is happenin' on stage. I hear that tonight's show will feature two fine horn players, which will likely blow us away.. I love that big band souljazz sound.

The drummer is awesome! he's really helping moderize that old school jazz sound, with some great backbeats! Oh yeah...

check out www.solive.com for some free live tunes.

hope to catch some of ya there!

i was just on TV. wow, it's funny how 15 seconds of fame can make you feel....
