New Album, "Québécois", online now. -----Original Message----- From: Matt MacQueen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: The Music Institute <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, August 01, 2000 2:27 PM Subject: [313] Theo Parrish last night >"Took me all the way back way back way back way back" > >Theo Parrish blew me away last night at Pontiac Cafe. The back room >inside of this little love shack was rammed with dancers, a sweaty >funkbox with people GETTING DOWN, hip-to-hip, hands in the sky, Theo >completely wringing every ounce of soul out of every selection to a very >receptive crowd who was clapping, cheering and hooting and hollering >throughout.. some people not just swaying or bobbing heads, but full-on >bustin' out dance "moves" and stuff! > >Refreshingly diverse crowd in terms of ages and races. You just can't >stand still to a set like that... Traxx among others just collapsing on >the floor at certain points(!). Theo was putting that budget sound >system through it's paces, every so often the amp would peak out and >override him (shut off for a few seconds), and people just cheered >louder for more and went even more nuts when the sound came creeping >back. Everything from classic vocal soul to his own tracks to >percussive african rhythms, David Mancuso era loft classics and >proto-jack tracks with just the minimal stripped down bleep or groove. >To sum it up, Dave Siska turns to me and says "this is the essence of >jack." Then he'd take a minimal track like that and built it all back >up with some rhodes piano from another Larry Levan style track or just >add more drums until it's just a big pile of percussion hitting you in >the chest, and all you can do is move to it. > >Wow... > >-- >Matt MacQueen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >http://www.reverbmag.com >archived radio shows --> http://macqueen.com/radio > >--------------------------------------------------------------------- >To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
