Ken did you go see Sam Yahel Trio at Jazz Standard? B/C that was how I first heard of Mela, although I didn't actually go to the gig, just watched some Youtube clips.
― Hurting 2, Friday, 7 December 2007 17:55 (sixteen years ago) link
Nice, that last clip made me look up a bunch of sick Conrad Herwig/Brian Lynch shit.
― Jordan, Friday, 7 December 2007 18:08 (sixteen years ago) link
No, Hurting, I don't know from Sam Yahel, I just heard about Francisco M on another list, and then saw he was playing at Cachaça, so I went and checked him out. Maybe you should come with me one Sunday to see Chris Washburne at Smoke one Sunday, which is where I assume that last clip is from.
― James Redd and the Blecchs, Friday, 7 December 2007 19:19 (sixteen years ago) link
If you're in town, you can come too, Jordan, and compare notes with Chris about being a student of Richard Davis.
― James Redd and the Blecchs, Friday, 7 December 2007 19:23 (sixteen years ago) link
Still meaning to find a good Patato clip to post. I think there a few with him and Tito Puente, who is in every other clip on this thread.
― James Redd and the Blecchs, Friday, 7 December 2007 19:25 (sixteen years ago) link
Oh, nice! Wish I could go, but I probably won't be back in NYC for awhile. :(
― Jordan, Friday, 7 December 2007 19:41 (sixteen years ago) link
It's every Sunday. They'll probably be playing next time you are around. .

That Steve Gadd/Giovanni Hidalgo clip...the hands and feet thing...so wonderful.

Got a gig in New Haven Sunday night. Ivy League poon.
― Hurting 2, Saturday, 8 December 2007 01:31 (sixteen years ago) link
Are you quoting one of your bandmates in an attempt to sound more like one of the boys?
― James Redd and the Blecchs, Saturday, 8 December 2007 03:34 (sixteen years ago) link
Ha, in a sense. "Ivy League poon" is in fact a running band joke.
― Hurting 2, Saturday, 8 December 2007 06:22 (sixteen years ago) link
Now that I think of it, last time I saw Cristian Rivera and Chris Washburne they were playing with the Bobby Sanabria Big Band that Haikunym is always raving about on the salsa thread on the other board. Bobby gave Cristian the nod to take a solo and he was on fire. He kept on soloing and looking over at Bobby as if to say, "I'm in the groove, boss, I ain't gonna stop until you tell me the stop." Finally Bobby gave the signal and the rest of the band kicked back in.
This other guy in the next clip I happened to see the other day and I wasn't too into it. His band wasn't really locking in, and his own playing was kind of wanky. But see for yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xe15md7VFQQ. I wanted to stop around minute seven.

OK, I found a pretty good video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-_r1EvJ6q4&feature=related with the late, great Patato featuring Nicky Marrero on timbales.

Spanky on drums yo!
Sorry for being so British but what is a Shed? Is it where gospel groups practice or something?
― Crackle Box, Friday, 15 February 2008 15:42 (sixteen years ago) link
shed = woodshed = old term for where you practice. "shedding" = practicing.
