You've got me started now! Here's a short film about afrobeat maestro Dele Sosimi (who used to play keyboards for Fela in Egypt 80 and MD'd for Femi Kuti) who's band I also play in. The man's a blimmin legend!

Mike, I enjoyed that! It had a really nice vibe. You know I'm not keen on jazz, but that sort of felt right, it was fun!

Cheers Nige - that's kind of the idea - not taking it all too seriously - I particularly love playing like this though, all we have is a basic set of changes and a 'head' (melody) and off we go... no disrespect to a lot of the 'serious' jazz out there, but one of the reasons it can be a turn off is there's a lack of groove... not that groove should take priority, but it should be[i] present.[/i]...

Thanks dude

er, I'm sure it's full of errors, and I'm definitely guilty of 'overbanging' :blush: I dunno, we were getting paid to entertain a bunch of lads for a mates stag, in the afternoon. sounds wasn't full or phat, and everyone 'cept us was drinking!

(and the sync is out!)

dunno how to embed, my bad.

Will try and get to a gig sometime. Unfortunately for me you seem to play on the coast of Essex. If you play this side, or into Cambs, Herts etc I'll be there B)
