Has anybody been at the Montreux Jazz Festival this year??? how is this for a line-up last Thursday night....
Marianne Faithful and Band, Angie Stone (nice interpolation/sampling of the o'jays back stabbers' on her track 'I wish I didn't miss you' nice song!!) then...Detroit Innovators feat. Carl Craig, Leon Ware, Sandra St Victor and the Dox Orchestra "Detroit Innovators is an adventurous mixture of Dance, Electronic, Soul and Funk music. more info @ http://www.montreuxjazz.com/e/Programme/Les+artistes+-+Recherche/bio_artists _e.htm This combination unites Carl Craig, innovative artist of the international Dance music scene, Leon Ware a true legend of Soul music, Wah Wah Watson a prodigious and unique guitarist and Sandra St Victor a talented diva of Nu-Soul. Their individual collaborations of the past and present go from Marvin Gaye to Herbie Hancock to the Roots and Angélique Kidjo. In company of the Dox Orchestra, these personalities put themselves to reconsider Soul music in the light of their influence and their innovation. The Detroit Innovators allow` their members to get to a higher level while confronting their different experiences." -------------- I haven't heard much of Leon ware (songwriter to Marvin gaye..et al) , I have his album from 1982 (with the nice track 'Why I came to California') recently reissued, and Sandra St victor was in the Roy Ayres ubiquity I think, and the family stand (sweet liberation).. forgive my ignorance who is the dax orchestra?? I thought Carl Craig's collaboration with herbie Hancock was pretty cool. I wonder if these 'Detroit Innovators' will release anything.. I Hope so. anybody heard anything about these collaborations?? cheers, Dave --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
