Presently, The Elton John Trio of 1970-1972. Tumbleweed Connection, 11.17.70, the best Elton Period--period.The Godfathers of Memphis Soul. Stax artists such as Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Booker T & The MGs, Steve Cropper, Eddie Floyd, & more. Go crosstown and throw in a Don Covay & James Carr here, and a wicked Wilson Pickett there, and you're starting to get the idea.
Straight off the success of "Greats Of The 88's"-a night that highlighted the music of Rock's greatest pianist/singers-comes another night of a kazeedigs gone wild....On Thursday,May 8th (7:30) kazeedigs continues the series of performances by presenting an Old School Soul party. We're calling it... kazeedigs Soulsville, NYC: Stax Rides The Subway. Once again, we're gonna raise the roof at NYC's The Cutting Room (19 West 24th St.), this time with a big ol' greasy plate of Memphis Soul.......
Digging mostly out of the Classic Stax Soul catalogue, the music of Booker T. & The MGs, Sam & Dave, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, and quite a few other Soul Faves of ours will be flaming off the stage by a band well fed from a lifetime of Soul Stew.........
.....Jeff Kazee on vocals and Hammond B-3 organ, Jeffrey Lee Campbell on guitar, SNL's Shawn Pelton on drums, Tony Tino on Fender bass, and the kazeedigs Horns (Chris Anderson: trumpet, Neal Pawley: trombone, & Art Hays: saxophone) will be spreading some barbecue sauce all over the stage....Special Guest Mark Rivera, longtime saxman for Billy Joel and Ringo Starr, will be appearing as well..... As always, a few kazeedigs Family Members will most likely be stopping by to join in the Soul Party........Disclaimer: We absolutely have no affiliation with Stax or any of the above named Artists, we're just big fans and want to convert the unconverted to our Church of Southern Soul...God Bless America, Stax, and Wilson Pickett.
..........kazeedigs is a Concert Series featuring the music that lives in heavy rotation on Jeff Kazee's turntable, 8-track player & iPod.
What can I say........I'm totally speechless!! Last night's show was killin'. Everybody was on top of their game. Nice touch calling up the incredible Vaneese Thomas to sing a classic as well. It was a total Soul revue........took us back to the 60's - 70's. Talk soon bro.
Thanks for the add Jeff. You Rock!! Like jbj's famous words at the O2 in Londen: It's all about the keyboardplayer it's all about the keys if you please ;)
