In a word, WOW! Steve Jordan, Pino Palladino and John Mayer. If you dig any one of these three guys get yourself a ticket(if they are not already sold out). I don't think you will be let down. Jordan killed it on "Cissy Strut". Also, a cool version of Hendrix "Wait Until Tomorrow".
Cheers,
CB
Wow - I'm a JM fan and would love to see that trio. Do you know if he's coming to the UK?
I don't know if anyone has got them playing "Daughters" at The Grammies, but it was killing.
Pino rocks and I've got him on a live D'Angelo concert, I think he's the only whit guy on stage! .....not bad for a Welshman!!

Man. I have outmost respect for John Mayer!
He kinda reminds me of the Early Sting Era, Mayer can do that he wants and have the Record Company's Support.
When he was in Copenhagen and was scheduled to warm up for Sting, The show got cancelled due to Sting's illness. Mayer didn't went back home to his Hotel, he took out to one of the local Jazz Jam-sessions at L'Fontaine and Jammed to the Early morning. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
Wow, a new album. Thanks for the heads up Chris. [img]smile.gif[/img]
way too cool, chris! i love jordan. i loved mayers last drummer as well. they are both so funky.
where did ya see them at?
btw- thanks again!! [img]wink.gif[/img]
Yo Chooch,
Saw them at the Anaheim H.O.B.. The place was completely sold out way in advance. I knew the tech on the gig and he was gracious enough to get me in. Jordan was impeccable! To paraphrase Vinnie,"The air was pregnant with groove". The other touring drummer is JJ Johnson who is great also. He did some work with Doyle Bramhall. He is a Jordan fan too which is evident in his playing style, sound and approach.
Cheers,
CB
Man,
I love JORDAN!!!! I love Mayer too, what a great combination... Got the Grammy performance on in the background as I watch this... WOW...
I've been listening a lot to Room For Squares lately, and the drumming on that is wonderful. Anyone know who else Nir Z has done stuff for???

They're going to be in Minneapolis on Friday this week....like CB said, completely sold out....drag....
It's funny, because I can't help but see a bit of a parallel between Mayer and Hendrix, in his later years. Jimi was doing some phenomenal ahead-of-its-time stuff towards the end of his career (and life) but whenever he'd play live, people would just be yelling at him to play "Purple Haze" and his other radio-friendly hits....
It kills me to think that probably a third of the people that have tickets to the show (which I can't get into!) can't even pronounce "Palladino" and are going to be yelling "Why Georgia" the whole time...
Hopefully they'll put out a Trio DVD soon....
Hey Canarsie,
Too bad you can't get in. Yeah, there were a lot of women screaming, "I love you John" in between the tunes. I don't think they realized who Steve Jordan and Pino Palladino were or how heavy the gig was. I was screaming, "I love you Jordan" after Cissy Strut. [img]eek.gif[/img] [img]wink.gif[/img]

I found new respect for John Mayer after hearing a recording of him with Herbie Hancock's 'Headhunters 2005'. A live band with enough chops to start an earthquake; Herbie on piano and synths, Marcus Miller on bass, Terri Lyne on drums, Kenny Garrett on sax, Roy Hargrove on trumpet, Munyungo Jackson on percusion, and Lionel Louke and whould have thought it - John Mayer on guitar.
What is wierd is how well he actaully fitted into the band. His funky/bluesy/soulful playing burned over the likes of Chameleon and Actual Proof. I believe that Herbie features him on his new album which is why he was in the band.
Yeah he is very diverse & talented for sure!
But... where are all the sound samples and video clips of his trio!?!?
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Nir Z played on most of the Genesis disc "Calling All Stations". This disc was a big disappointment to me.Quote:
