Was glad to find a list like this in existence...(though
I was disappointed to find that "Chalkhills" - the
XTC list, seems to have died!)...I recently was offline
for a time during a move from Chicago to Los Angeles.
I'm in LA because I'm an actor, but I'm also a *drummer*,
and have played for 13 years, in and out of Jazz combos,
funk bands (some chili pepper like, the best one like Tower
of Power), and ska bands. I would love to find some people
to jam with in the LA area, so please mail me. My main
influence would have to be Dave Garibaldi, who plays those
mean beats with T.O.P.
I'm interested in playing acid-jazz with lots of horns,
working towards gig-ability. Or practicing some straight-ahead
tunes with a combo.
I got into A.J. because of my love of Hancock's, Hubbard's and Davis'
late '70's innovations (as well as T.O.P.), and of the modern stuff I
tend to dig the *live* stuff, ie. Heavies, Groove Collective, Ronny
Jordan, Greyboy Allstars, and Liquid Soul, more than the drum
machine/sampled licks; ie. US3 and all housey/trip hop stuff.
If you can recommend some more *live* players to me, please email
(don't clog the list, as I'm sure you've all heard it before). I don't really
care for Jamiroquoi, just to let you know.
Glad to meetya all!
Mike
