ollie Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Congratulations Jack, that was a good show! Your new guitar player can really shred (Can you tell me more about him?) and y'all laid down some solid grooves. Looking forward to watching your development!

bradm Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 His name is Dennis Sarlis, and he came to Inglewood Jack on a referral from Wayne Eagles. He's studied under Chet Breau, and also plays in Memphis Mafia, but he also wants to get into "new funk" in the vein of artists like MMW. As well as being a great guitar player, he also does transcribing on the side, so has a great feel for translating what he hears into what he plays. (We were originally going to do one song, that normally has vocals, instrumentally, and he was able to double to vocal line on guitar, from ear alone.)Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatpatguy Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 I just wanted to give a big thanks to those who came out, and Vanderpark and Throwback for having Inglewood Jack open up. I think the show was great fun, and I really dug both Throwback's and Vanderpark's sets. I can't wait for Inglewood Jack to do it again!Thanks guys!

bradm Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 And a very special IJ thank-you to Marcus Wong of Vanderpark for doing vocals on "Bilie Jean".Throwback's and Vanderpark's sets have been uploaded, but are currently awaiting curator approval. Once they're ready, I'll post notices.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 oh yeah.. how could I forget Marcus!Marcus man.. you were the highlight of Inglewood Jack's set for sure man!Do you guys usually do that number insturmental? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 We've only performed it once before, during our Wakefest set, but when we did it then, it was more of a "tease", as all we really did was the (first) verse. For this show, we decided to do the whole song, and in fact arranged it instrumentally (with Dennis doing the vocal lines on guitar). But we know that Vanderpark has done MJ covers before (e.g., "Thriller" from their Canada Day set), so we thought it'd be cool to have one of them come up and do the vocals on "Billie Jean". I did some planning ahead and brought a printout of the lyrics, which Marcus was actually reading as he was singing. A bit of pleading and cajoling, and he stepped up and did it, which was the highlight of our set, for me.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait for Inglewood Jack to do it again!Thanks guys!The show was awesome, we had such a wicked time - always fun in Ottawa. IJ, you guys were killer...totally dug the grooves. Though Marcus isn't registered on the board I'll speak on his behalf by saying that he had a ton of fun belting out Bille Jean...only to roll over on his ankle on the way off the stage! It's pretty swollen and red...he almost had to sit down to play on saturday night. I'm not sure how he stood during the set friday. He's a champ, he'll be fine.This was a night of great tunes...lookin forward to more of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
