Hey guys, wondering if someone can help...
Been looking for a video of Meshell Ndegeocelo's 1/2 hr. performance on "Sessions at West 54th"...
Used to have it on vhs, but the tape is shot!
If anyone has this, or knows where I can find/ d/l it please post...Thanks
FYI- It has Gene Lake on kit, and David Dyson on Bass...Smokin' grooves!

[img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] Gene Lake is an absolute monster, a true beast among men. Such a beautiful pocket, just beautiful.
...yes, he is also amazing on Steve Coleman's Tao of Mad Phat.
Some of my favorite drumming...
Have seen him [GL] twice live w Sanborn.
Great player. [img]cool.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
I really like Gene Lake. I transcribed that 5/4 tune off "Tao of Mad Phat" for a jury in college. It was alot of fun to play. There's a Fuze/Medeski album called "Lunar Crush" that has some killer Gene on it.
My favorite Gene Lake record is the out-of-print "Duophonic" by Charles and Eddie.
Not a chopsfest - this one is nothin' but groove, showing Gene's utter mastery of Motown-style sounds and grooves. One of my favorite records, period.
Usually it's easy to find this CD dirt cheap on half.com - check it out if you want to hear some beautiful drumming!
Mr. A.
yeah Gene is one of my absolute favorite players. His playing on the Me'Shell album is fantastic. I think I've got most everything he's done.

...although some people say that may be jo jo mayer..

Yeah, Gene Lake is a great player... I was lucky enough to meet him after a Meshell show in Chicago, and I have to say he is one of the most down to earth guys you'll meet, and very humble about his playing abilities...
So no luck on anyone having that show eh?
Well I'll keep looking, thanks though...
