Thanks B! It was a good time for me too. I have never really been asked about the process and all. I'm just glad I didn't fold under the pressure. >:)
Ha. "Main Vein." I can hear it a bit too. The other band has a much better singer though. LOL
My cousin used to be a doorman...well, nah, let's call him what he was...a bouncer at Junior Kimbroughs Juke Joint in Holly Springs. I went there a coupl...
Just reread this interview for the first time in a couple months, Ed. Your process really shines through. This is one of my favorite interviews for the URB ALT site so far. Thanks!
@Row! What a great idea. I think I will do that...like in the next few minutes. lol

Gawd, I wish I didn't have a gig that night! This show is totally up my alley!! You should post a questionnaire on the site of everyone's favourite Jimi tune, just for kicks, I'm interested to know wot everyone's response would be ;)

MUTHAWIT featuring BOSTON FIELDER
There's a difference between being immersed in music and getting lost in it. If the former is protective and predictable, the latter revels in chance and the unexpected. MuthaWit? Definitely the latter.
MuthaWit is a furiously evolving multi-cultural outfit whose musical performances marry a soulful rock dynamic with free jazz experimentation, classical sensitivity and avant-garde electronics/visuals. Established in 1989 by award-winning nomadic composer, designer, filmmaker and URB ALT founder Boston Fielder, members of MuthaWit's 5-24 piece orchestra have worked with Parliament/Funkadelic, Sting, TV On The Radio, Curtis Mayfield, The Family Stand, Olu Dara, Herbie Hancock, Jay Z and Organized Noize among others. MuthaWit has been instrumental in the production of the increasingly popular URB ALT Festival annually based in NYC. Focused as the "house band" for performing national solo artists on the bill as well as a stand-alone musical outfit, MuthaWit has embedded its sonic imprint in URB ALT's eclectic music/film events for the 3 years of festival's existence as well as the 9 years of the ongoing URB ALT showcase.
Rejoicing in the intensity of their eclectic musical testimony, MuthaWit lures the listener through an artistic experience that is wildly entertaining and sonically provocative.

Review: Leila Adu - "Dark Joan" - Frizz Records [2009]
Hel. Daughter of Loki. Queen of the Underworld. Under the headphones you can feel her seductively walking towards you.
Leila Adu’s ambitious solo album “Dark Joan” opens with “Helfire” an a cappella song showcasing the multi-octave artist bellowing like an angry town crier warning listeners away from a l… Continue

Kambui said… - <<laughing>> Cool. I took a break from workin' it out at Danny Krivit's 718 Sessions last night to hit Brooklyn for Hopestock. Then I walked back over the bridge to catch the rest of Krivit's set.
Nona Hendrix made me do something I don't normally do. And I was distracted throughout her first song! <<laughing>> I said to myself "Ain't she like 80 years old or sumpn'?" (just exaggerating.) I know 25 year olds with bodies that can't bang like that. Magic water indeed...
song currently stuck in my head: "once in the morning" - diana ross
