166: summertime addi(c)tions

Hi.E-mile & Co. made it back from the vacation

& is back for business!

We had a great time, although the weather wasn't

particularly good.

The Czech Republic is a great country, Prague is a beautiful city,

the countryside (we stayed up north, the Bohemian Paradise) is

rocky, tough and amazing!

Friendly people, cheap & tasty beer,

good food ( the famous garlic soup!!!) in short: a well spent 2 weeks!

Today I pack some additions, sent by some faithfull & kind readers

(like Simon666 & Bucephallus) and a few I had up my sleeve all along.

After this I promise to stay away from this song for quite a bit!
enjoy...

155: Jazz Op 't Dak 2006

Hi!Today I have something REALLY special I want

to share with you all!

An All-Star formation consisting of:

JOSEPH BOWIE - Vocals, Trombone

JAMES BLOOD ULMER - Vocals, Guitar

VERNON REID - Guitar

RONALD SHANNON JACKSON - Drums

MELVIN GIBBS - Bass

Yes, today 2 years ago this bunch of wonderfull musicians

were going to give a show on a rooftop, midsummer,

so we bought tickets and headed up north

for this truly once-inna-lifetime-occasion!

The 'band" showed up late, but it was worth the waiting.

The 'PUNK FUNK ALL STARS' as they called themselves

for this tour, blowed everybody's mind & soul that night,

it was totally awesome...

-

Following is from the Dutch station that also broadcasted

the music that was played that evening,

I'll translate as I go along:

"Funky-Punky-Rock-Blues-Jazzy-Brainy and very danceable!

What else is there to wish for on the

closing night of Jazz On The Roof 2006!

The phrase All Stars isn't exaggerated:

only big names from the American jazz/blues & funk history

from past couple of decades join their forces now.

They're friends and/or colleague for many years,

but they've never played together in this combination-

this is the first night of their first tour in Europe!

Every member contributes songs that are representative

for their style in the Punk Funk-era.

Think Vernon Reid's Living Colour, Joe Bowie's Defunkt,

James Blood Ulmer's invocation with rock/blues/jazz,

the "Who's Who" projects of Melvin Gibbs

and ofcourse the fierce music of

Ronald Shannon Jackson's Decoding Society."

-

Needless to say we had a HELLUVA night,

and now you can catch some of the magic here on

E-mile says some concerts do the matter!

-

A Very Special Thanks To Sander van Geuns,

who stayed at home and taped the whole thing!

-

Enjoy these 90 minutes of punk-funk-jams,

due to the lenght I had to split in 2 parts.
