The Neville Brothers
Whether as solo artists or, since 1977, as bandmates, Newsweek
has observed, that the Neville Brothers, "poured out a stream of
syncopated, funky riveting music that makes you dance and ache
and cry inside." For well over a quarter of a century, Art, Charles,
Aaron, and Cyril Neville have helped lay the foundation for the
entire New Orleans music community, and at the same time spread
their own unique sound all over the world. Said John Ed Bradley, in
G.Q., "The Nevilles play Tipitina's, and a spooky magic happens.
Fruit juice becomes a Hurricane cocktail, the fat of foot can
suddenly hoof it, the blind, by God, can see."
Robert Cray Band
A driving force in the tremendous revitalization and renewed
popularity of the blues, Robert Cray's music is powered with his
equal love of soulful R&B. With one double platinum album, two
gold albums, and four Grammy Awards, Cray's music is a leading
light of modern electric blues guitar, soul singing and storytelling
lyrics. Robert Cray ? guitar, vocals; Jim Pugh - keyboards; Karl
Sevareid - bass; Kevin Hayes - drums
Jon Lucien Quintet
In the 28 years since the release of his debut album, connoisseurs
and assorted in-the-know types have spoken his name with the
utmost hushed reverence. His seamless melding of jazz, R&B,
Caribbean rhythms and Brazilian music proved to be a decisive
early influence on what would be simplified and marketed as the
twin formats of "quiet storm" and "smooth jazz," although very few
artists working in either format approach Lucien's level of artistry or
innovation, not to mention originality. Jon Lucien ? vocals, guitar;
Cliff Korman ? piano; Kim Plainfield ? drums; Gregory Jones ?
bass; Myra Casales - percussion
Elliott Sharp's Terraplane
Downtown guitar/electronics master Elliott Sharp's Terraplane
features drummer Sim Cain, saxophonist Sam Furnace, David
Hofstra on bass & tuba, and E# on tenor sax, guitar and steel guitar.
A volatile mix of country blues, psychedelic drum n' bass, post
Mingus/Ayler jazz, with a touch of CARBONics. "Deep within the
hyper-complex aesthetic of downtown experimental legend Elliott
Sharp lurks the soul of a blues man. This hard driving band pushes
the blues idiom into the 21st century."
Sex Mob
A fractured, divided, refreshingly unpredictable world, Steven
Bernstein's Sex Mob goes leagues beyond the jazz at their core and
way up into funk, punk and pop, as one look at their songbook will
confirm: Nirvana, Prince, Grateful Dead, James Brown, Los Del
Rio, Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, the Cardigans. And
dozens more. Schizophrenic, yes. Boring, never. Steven Bernstein -
slide trumpet; Tony Scherr - bass; Briggan Krauss - sax; Kenny
Wollesen - drums |
