Eliot Lipp Takes Beats Beyond

The Orpheum Theatre had a niGht of beats that spilled out into a crowd of wanting ears and bodies readied at the starting line to get on their individual moves and motions. Poised with colors glowing and smiles wrapped around the interior of the building, this audience quickly embraced the working beats of friend to the program Eliot Lipp. Just as we spoke of in our conversation during the last show, you could hear the inspiration from visits to great buildings housing great art….you could hear the difference, which quickly translates into “feelin’ it”. The symbiotic relationship between the drawn line and the sound line wasn’t lost on me as I soaked it in deep, with my own doing as it does. Eliot crafts his shows around the beats, not merely in the beats alone….it is within those spaces between the grooves where my ears meet Eliot Lipp’s miXes. I wonder what they miGht do for you?

A Love Electric did it

The High Noon Saloon is always a great spot for a CD release. In support of their latest release, 20th Century Folk Selections on Royal Potato Family, good friend of the proGram, Todd Clouser brougt his mind-bending group A Love Electric to town with ear-original excitement combined with interesting versions of familiar tunes done as only this neo-jazz-rock quintet can do. I have seen this act many times now, a beast on trumpet, combined with Todd’s ability to translate sound into feeling…..and I have to say that in this rare occasion, they managed to do something I consider a rare feat, they keep on getting better each time I go out and see ’em. The style, sound and personality of this group allows me to proudly support Todd every time he keeps coming to Madison (and I hope that keeps happnin’), and I can easily categorize “A Love Electric” as one of my favorite acts around. You can be sure that the next time they’re here, I’ll be there….I hope you adopt this same practice and I’ll look for the thank you cards in my email.

Litte Barrie & Charles Bradley

If you’ve been a listener to the proGram since its inception back on the Connecticut airwavesway back in the EARly 2000’s, you’d know how deep I go with the Little Barrie diGGin’. I have been spinning them since 2005, and haven’t looked back since. With a new album (King of the Waves), it has been four years since the last one, the trio from Liverpool made their way to America in support of Charles Bradley & His Extraordinaires, after many dates overseas opening for them. Little Barrie rocked the High Noon Saloon and opened the eyes of many in attendance who were definitely there to catch Mr. Bradley. For many of them, this was their very first taste of the incredibly catchy rock and roll of Little Barrie. They blew the roof off the place with many tracks off the new release, but for my ears, “Tip it Over” was the selection that was most remarkable—with all other tracks right there with it. In chatting with drummer Virgil Howe (son of Yes guitarist Steve Howe), I learned that the band would love to come back to the states and show off what they do best….ROCK!! I have a feeling that they’d welcome an invitation to a town near you.

Although nursing an obvious cold, Mr. Bradley’s pure emotion and meaning were felt over the crowd with each bead of sweat that fell to the stage. The band, as always was tight on and translated the soul of the night magically for a grateful Madison crowd. The love between artist and the appreciators is smile evoking and if you haven’t caught this show yet, you’re missing out on someone who IS all he appears.

Bonerama Bonanza

It was nice to hear from friend of the program, Charlie Wooton while doing a fill in the a few weeks back. He rang the show to let me know he’d be in town with Bonerama doing a masters class at the University and then a free show at Mills Hall. In talking with a few of the students backstage, they were all so pumped to have hooked up with Bonerama and the experience is certainly one of those I am sure is on many people’s list of things they wish they could do. It was great catching up with Charlie as he has so many things going on including a new upcoming album and tour with the Royal Southern Brotherhood. The band taught thirteen or so “bone” players a couple of tracks and discussed the things that turn them on by music. The students ended up on stage during the free show playing with the band in a concert. How cool! The set was strong and filled with solos from our Bonerama gang as well as the students, Charlie kicked in a fantastic solo during one of the hottest renditions of “Whippin’ Post” I have hEARd in a long time. With a regular mix of their own originals and some horn heavy covers, the night was one to remember and quite unique with the addition of all those jammin’ trombones on stage…..

Making Faces with Marco

I was fortunate enough to interview Marco Benevento the other day to promote his show at the Cafe Redamte on Friday night. I enjoyed being able to chat more with Marco about the scene he’s been seen in, the recent tunes he was working on, (which he shared with the audience during the intermission) and of course how hot the new tune “Fireworks” sounded during the first set. After some time on the top of the stairs, the piano and keys were jamming into and out of Marco’s own tunes and a nice collage of covers that had the eerie places inside my mind dancing with their own goblins….. I really get what Marco is laying down. He has a way when by himself or in Garage a Trois or with Joe or whomever that calls to my senses directly through my ear-holes. His solo piano show is an excellent reminder why we diGG what Marco does. His ability to interpret songs we already hold nEAR is almost like he has been sitting in on family conversations from the long ago past, and remembered important details as to what we like. His own songs sometimes feel like they were written in my own songbook, in my own writing and perhaps even on paper I, myself have made. I am glad to be able to call Marco a friend of greenarrowradio finally, and look forward to the next opportunity to hEAR him live, or spin that fresh new tune he has gathered riGht from inside of me….. (a big thank you to Kevin for making these things happen.)
