Music Life.

Monday night i was invited to Mannahatta Restaurant & Lounge
by my friend guitar player Mr. Hendrik Helmer to listen
to the band called Players Choice where some very good musicians
and friends of mine are playing.

On vocals Mr.Bobby Harden was as good as always
and i was singing along some of his tunes from his very good R&B album
"Soul Purpose".

On the bass another favorite of mine Mr.Ivan Bodley
was grooving together with some other amazing musicians i haven`t met before.

Last night after Ivan`s suggestion for Good Music i went to
Turtle Bay Bar & Grill where another amazing
band was performing for no cover again.

They call themselves FunkasaurusRex and man they are HOT!

I really like both places and i am looking forward to play there myself.

I `ve got me some new cds to listen to from the Midtown Manhattan Library.

The Essential Sonny Rollins is a tour de force
to his RCA years, recorded between 1962 and 1964
right here in New York.
Amazing!

It`s been a while i haven`t listen to an old friend Mr.Eric Burdon
and his 2006 recording "Soul of a Man" was a good surpise come back.

The last cd i took out is a Roots,Blues & Jazz one with Ms.Bonnie Bramlett
and after listening to it a couple of times i realized how much of
an influence she has been to younger female vocalists.

She is that good!
