Tonysounds Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I would still love to know why he left Santana. Hitting "Play" does NOT constitute live performance. -Me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mate stubb Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I would still love to know why he left Santana. Because he didn't like the new "free latin" direction the music was taking, and Carlos kept making him play THAT lick (at 1:10) over and over.

LX88 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I heard Chester play solo at Bob Scleicher's birthday party in Oakland a couple years ago. I expressed to him that I hoped that he would be getting out and doing some non- Santana type gigs. So it looks like that is finally happening. I hope the community supports him in this and that he continues to play out doing what he wants to do. I also hope that Tower of Power invites him to "sit in" from time to time. I haven't seen their anniversary DVD yet but he must have been part of that. He really set the standard for funk organ during that time with them. I kind of felt that he was buried in Santana, perhaps that was a part of why he isn't there now.... I don't really know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Towne Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I would love to hear this show. Anyone know if it might be recorded or streamed in any way?

bhodaway10 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 It's going to be an awesome show. Lots of great organ greats are in town just for this show. It's actually a Dr Lonnie Smith tribute - he'll be inducted in the organ hall of fame. Dave, I sent you a pm awhile back - did you get it? I probably can't do anything before the gig but would love to see you guys. www.brianho.net http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/brianho www.youtube.com/brianhojazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Pierce Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Cool. I am definitely going to be there, and Audrey is trying to cancel some appointments so that she can join me. I have a funny feeling that the music will sound somewhat better than the Youtube that Moe posted above. --Dave Make my funk the P-funk. I wants to get funked up.

Dave Pierce Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Wow. What a great show this was! The last set was Chester Thompson, Dr. Lonnie Smith, together on two B3's, with Chester's smokin' band -- Ron E. Beck on drums. Whew! Got to meet Brian (aka bhodaway10) in person for the first time too. Very cool. --Dave Make my funk the P-funk. I wants to get funked up.

bhodaway10 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Yesterday was a great concert. I was talking to Pete today and we both agreed it was a night that people would talk about forever. The house was packed with tons of organists, musicians, etc. Chester Smith played first, then several organists were inducted into the Jazz Hall of Fame, then Chester Thompson played, Lonnie got his award, and the finale was Chester Thompson and Lonnie playing two numbers - Willow Weep for Me in 6 (like Lonnie's record) and If You see Kay aka Pay It Back. Chester Thompson's set was very cool. He started with Wayne Shorter's Speak No Evil and then ended the set with Squib Cakes. Wil didn't play but was in the audience. Today is his birthday. The whole concert was definitely recorded and shot in video (multiple cameras). I'll ask Pete if he's going to release it. www.brianho.net http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/brianho www.youtube.com/brianhojazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
