Thought I'd post a shot I took at The Elbo Room, San Francisco, CA (11/12/2005). A friend of mine took me to see this concert for my soon to be birthday. What a solid night. These guys jammed late into the evening, with clyde providing the funky beats. Grant Green Jr. laid out some great riffs on his guitar and Reuben, the B3 master, rounded it all out. Amazing to see this trio at a time when soul jazz is so out of favor. Heres a photo from the night. Click on it for a large photo
I would love to see them perform live. I hear they are really good.

I am a little out of practice, but I have made a new goal to polish up my skills again. I like jazz, and have always wanted to learn to play jazz piano.

(To all jazz pianists) How did you learn to play? How old were you when you started learning jazz?
I have played the piano since I was 6. I am classically trained having taken lessons until I was 18. I am a little out of practice, but I have made a new goal to polish up my skills again. I LOVE jazz, and have always wanted to learn to play jazz piano. So, in doing so, what would you recommend as the best approach? Please tell me of your experiences and what I should do.

Soul jazz out of style? Only among the igorant and uninformed. Spring some of the Adderley Brothers doing "Jive Samba" or Horace Silver's "Jody Grind" on them and let them know that the music of the African-American experience is NOT all about "bitches" and "hos" and "mo-fos". Solid music is forever, and beyond style...
