Jazzneck Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Who's going to see Oteil with The Tedeschi Trucks Band at The Shepherds Bush Empire next Wednesday? (apart from me and my mates, that is) M. Quote
Sibob Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Ooo, didn't know about this....will look up ticket prices! Si Quote

Chris2112 Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 If only he'd stop doing those extended scat solos! Quote
Sibob Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Me and a mate should be coming along to this . Shouldn't think Oteil will be soloing much, if at all, in this group setting Si Quote

Sibob Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 In the pics for the website, he's got a red Precision....wonder what that is Si Quote
Marlat Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 I've got a ticket and will be there. MOre to see Robert Randolph as opening act, but looking forward to Derek Trucks as well. Up on level 1 of the Chez Boo Empire if anyone wants to meet for a drink. M Quote
Marlat Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Man, I have a new love for Oteil. That was some tasty playing in all respects! Very cool. Quote
Sibob Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Yeah he killed it!! Great great player, and performer, nice to see someone properly getting into the music . He mostly used his Precision, but bought the Fodera 6 out on a few tunes, mostly for the Low B. He only really had two solos, one extended scat solo on the Fodera during an ambient jazz breakdown but the other on the Precision was really special, bluesy, lyrical and beautifully melodic! Really pleasantly surprised to find JJ Johnson on one of the kits too, didn't even register his name on the website, LOVE his playing with Mayer! Spotted: Guthrie Govan & Stevie Winwood While we were queing, Derek came out....one of the touts, obviously not knowing who he was, asked if he needed to buy or sell tickets!!...made us chuckle!

Jazzneck Posted June 30, 2011 Author Posted June 30, 2011 We really enjoyed a great night - both bands - excellent gig and night out in general - I think I need to practise some more! Quote
