Jeee-sus, that is something else! Thanks a lot rodge for the link. What a band, what a drummer! Tight as hell. I love the vocalist and the guitarist is awesome too. I'm gonna have to buy me some mint condition. The arrangement in 'breakin my heart' is very interesting, some fine phrasing going on. [img]biggrin.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

Sorry, I made a mistake, please forgive me. The drummer in the Mint Conditon Live at Club 930 in D.C. name is Terry Wesley. I got his named mixed up, but it is definately Terry Wesley. Sorry.

NO probs, thx again [for the correction]

I saw the latest CD at WAL-MART [img]wink.gif[/img] , debated getting it, but didn't. Now I'm headed back out the door. Silly me.

One more ? : is that Live at Club 930 in D.C. a commercially available DVD?

So let me get this straight...
Now we have ASpears, ETribbett, BFMoore, Teddy C, CDave, Stokely, AND now Wesley... [img]eek.gif[/img]

Yes Terry is quite a monster!! He too comes out of the gospel tradition. This cat has incredibly deep pocket and time and groove. The tracks on the DVD are just slammin! I hope that they will release the entire show on DVD sometime. I would love to see Stokley playing. PT>

Musiklvr--thanks so much on the look out. Dude is awesome and I can't wait to investigate his playing more. I guess DA was right--the playing of those guys coming out of the same tradiditon is similar. I can identify characteristics that are similar. I know that Chris Dave influenced a lot of these guys--was Terry one of this whole Philidelphia group?

Gotta, did you get the disk? How are the live clips?

Speaking of Chris "Daddy" Dave...OH my...just saw MeShell's Spirit Music Jamia at Yoshi's in Oakland on Friday. The concert was incredible. I have never seen anyone play drums like Chris does--a force of nature, like a whole typhoon whuppin a-- on a kit. Fluid and aggressive in the way that I've never seen before. Crazy single stroke roll decrescendos, amazing flowing changing subdivisions, messed up stutters that should be mistakes but aren't. They guy just doesn't give a damn what anyone thinks--he just goes there. And of course MeShell's groove was about 6 feet deep--all the players crawled all around in that. Oliver Lake was a monster on the sax and Michael Cain on the keys as well. If you get a chance, do yourself the favor of checking this tour out.
