TShakazBlackRoots Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Bless. We are having our very first Jazz Fest here tomorrow. The French Cultural Centre (who else) are bringing Meddy Gerville, a French Jazz pianist with his 4 piece. They play Free Jazz or something like that (Funk Jazz maybe ) His bass player is quite famous I gather. He's called Dominique Di-Piazza (know him?). I can't wait to watch. My band is part of the Fest with our Jazzfied Reggae. My guitarist is away in UK, so I'm scared stiff! On monday, we play on Bob Marleys birthday bash. We are 'The Wailers' for the night! I'll let you know how it goes. Nice weekend all It Began In Afrika. https://www.facebook.com/BlackRootsUNLIMITED/ https://www.facebook.com/TanquerayAllMusicSafari/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Capasso Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Wow - sounds like a couple of exciting activities. I guess you've got that "Wailers" thing down by now. My band is attempting "Could You Be Loved" - not sure if it's going to work. I learned a bit about mixing up the bass note rhythms learning it - I think I'm pretty close.... Hope it goes well !

TShakazBlackRoots Posted February 5, 2006 Author Share Posted February 5, 2006 Yes, I met the band after sound check we had a chat. Di Piazza, Hernandez etc.. Gave the my new album, they gave me theirs too. We talked about Bona and Linley Marthe (incidentally he's from the Reunion Islands just like Gerville). Had a laugh with the drummer Hernandez after he'd enjoyed a monster spliff with a percussionist friend of mine. No spliff for me though ....just bass! Tomorrow is the Bob Marley gig! It's a free concert over here.
