Anyway, anyone check Pucho and the Latin Soul Brothers and the Greyboy
Allstars at the Wetlands Friday? I was blown away. I don't go see much
live Latin stuff and it was definitely a wake up call. Real tight, a lot
of crazy percussion going on at once, amazing alto sax player. As for
the Greyboy Allstars they played two sets. I was lovin those funky
Herbie sounding keyboards and that wa-wa guitar sound. Those guys are
all incredibly talented. Karl Denson plays both flute, alto sax and
sings equally as well....
peace,
Argo
