Outkaster Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I saw Ivan Neville this Saturday night and his band Dumpster Funk. He is an amazing piano/organ/clav player. He sang while switching instruments. playing right-handed parts with the left hand and being very efficient in his playing. Guys like him are very rare and his feel is amazing. If he is coming near where any of you live check him out. 4 1 Quote "Danny, ci manchi a tutti. La E-Street Band non e' la stessa senza di te.

ProfD Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Ivan Neville has been killin' it for a long time now.

BenWaB3 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I was fortunate enough to get to see Dumpstaphunk a few years ago. Great New Orleans funk!! I hadn't heard much about them lately so am glad to see they're still out there doin' it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tusker Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 He's at the Blue Note in August. I'll try to catch him there. Thanks for the recommendation. 👍 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen Dumpstafunk several times here in DC. Also, I have seen them livestreamed from Tipitina's in New Orleans. Haven't ever walked away without being impressed. Excellent group of performing artists, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesB3 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 1 hour ago, Outkaster said: He sang while switching instruments. playing right-handed parts with the left hand Yeah I've just identified this as a weakness in my own playing. I've got a tune with both Wurlie and B3. I programmed the CP73 for a Wurlie that sounds an octave higher for my left hand but I don't have the solo and lick facility in my left hand as much as my right. I can chord and play bass pretty well but it's not been conditioned to do much else. I've never had a keyboard before that I could send octaves above middle C to below middle C.

Joe Muscara Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 He was one of the acts we caught at the French Quarter Fest last April. He was awesome. We tried to catch any act that had a Neville or Marsalis.

Outkaster Posted July 1 Author Share Posted July 1 He plays a B-3/122 or 147 that was backlined I think. He plays a Honer D6 and a Nord Stage. I think those two boards he probably carries around. I'm not sure but I could talk to Audio Images who is the company that does most of the festivals in this region. Quote "Danny, ci manchi a tutti. La E-Street Band non e' la stessa senza di te.

Outkaster Posted July 1 Author Share Posted July 1 Man 1988. He looks different and his voice has matured. I think he is 64 now. Quote "Danny, ci manchi a tutti.

I think those two boards he probably carries around. His rig is a Hammond A 100 with a Hohner E7 on top and a Nord Stage off to the side. I did see him recently using a Hammond B3 at Tipitina's. Don't know if he changed his organ or if it was backlined. Oh yeah, and he runs the E7 through a talkbox for one of the songs they recorded years ago.

Ivan May Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Well Ivan Neville is related to the Meters, and he would still be a great keyboard player even if he wasn't related to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outkaster Posted July 2 Author Share Posted July 2 Yes, his band feels like an extension of the Meters and the Neville Brothers at times. His drawbar settings remind me of Art Neville. 1 Quote "Danny, ci manchi a tutti. La E-Street Band non e' la stessa senza di te.

So many of those types of folks enjoy the privilege of being 1st call musicians without having to deal with the BS that comes with fame and celebrity. Getting in and out like a bank robber, er, flying below the radar has its perks.😎 1 Quote PD "The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return."--E.

Outkaster Posted July 2 Author Share Posted July 2 Check out this clip of the Neville Brothers with Ivan. Their vocals are all top notch with probably 6 guys singing: http:// The Neville Brothers - Full Concert - Live at the North Sea Jazz Festival 2006 (youtube.com) Quote "Danny, ci manchi a tutti.

Josh Paxton Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Ivan does his family and his city proud. I became a fan in high school, years before I moved to New Orleans, when his first album "If My Ancestors Could See Me Now" came out. Since then I've had the pleasure of playing dueling keys with him a few times, and it's always a blast. Nice to see him getting some well-deserved love! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
