Presenting you another option to spend this momentous spiritual evening known as 11/11/11. The " Treat You Right " crew is back for an another enlightening endeavour, totally doing it all just "for the love of it". Hopefully this blog-post fulfills the duty of being your backup "wake up call", if you were totally unaware of the "11:113 prompts on the bed-side clock, courtesy of your fun loving-spirit guardian(s). Those spinning discs on the night would be the usual TYR suspects: Leslie Salvador, Mayo (& Hendy Kana), Richard Kelly, and joining them is Thomas Henderson, Gambol & [...]
I am very excited to be making my first trek down to Live Oak Florida in less than 3 weeks for the Bear Creek Music Festival, and the anticipation has only increased now that the schedule dropped last week. It's my first time ever flying to a festival, so it'll be a definite change from [...]

Filed under: All About Jazz Jazz festivals typically take on one of two forms: One is big production events where multi-stage outdoor festivals take on a carnival-like atmosphere as fans jump from stage to stage taking in bits and pieces of several sets over the course of an hour. Or they can be single house (club) events where dizzying array of bands work abbreviated sets on a single stage in more of a showcase style, as the audience stays put. There're variations on these themes, of course, but the NYC Winter Jazzfest [...]
Widespread critical acclaim always makes me duck for cover. I've still got a teenage music snob steak a mile wide running right through my critical faculties. Consequently, a few obvious hits aside, I'm almost entirely unfamiliar with the work of Beck. But offer me a funky Hammond cover of a Beck tune, and I'm all over it. You should be too. Paper Tiger , from the 2003 album Boogaloo to Beck is a monster cut. At nine minutes in length, it's a greasy, heavy bottomed groove that knows how [...]
Doug Roberson of the Diplomats of Solid Sound posted a Facebook event for a yard sale he was having. He was moving across town in Iowa City and decided, like many of us would, that he had some things he didn't want to move so he decided to have a yard sale.

It was a drizzly day which was sort of concerning, but [...]
- Frequenze Covers - Un " Please, Cover Me" quantomeno particolare. Siamo abituati a sentire cover di giovani artisti cimentarsi con capisaldi del passato, i cosìdetti "mostri sacri" della musica. In questo caso la cosa è totalmente ribaltata. Divertitevi dunque ad ascoltare personaggi del jazz e del soul (a volte vere e proprie leggende), reinterpretare in modo bizzarro alcuni brani con cui siamo letteralmente cresciuti o che comunque abbiamo avuto modo di gustarci nelle loro versioni originali, magari anche dal vivo.
