done busted loose...

I loved him. It didn't get much funkier. Reminded me of the energy of Jorge Ben's bands. Luckily a saw him last year at Celebrate Brooklyn on a bill with Dr. John and Sunny Jain's band Red Baraat. I also caught him once at the D.C. BBQ festival.

Now there was a groove!

Wasn't Chuck Brown's group where Ricky Wellman got his start?

Pete, I was at that concert also! Very funky and RIP to a cool cat.

I don't know about his start, but that was where Miles heard him.

Sad news. RIP.

There's STILL a groove.

I like this one too.

It's like a half way point between Bobby Rush and Disco-Johnny Guitar Watson fighting their way out of a Smooth Jazz soup.

I love it.
