"O.K." founded in 2002, is Alabama-based guitarist William Barnes's (of the early 90's southern, college, jazz rock phenomenon "Far South Movement") instrumental, electronic, urban, hard-rockin', funk-fusion "collective-quintet," that has been assembled to explore an intellectual and spiritual study of technology, story-telling, culture, society, timeless themes, classic composers and rythem sections, harmony, melody, dance, and militant groove. The group tells stories and makes subtle social commentary through use of modern hip-hop and jazz-fusion arrangements of classic songs and original compositions navigated through booty-shake beats by aggressive instrumentalists. "O.K." finds Barnes reunited with lifelong friend and band mate, bassist Freddie Smith (Far South Movement, Blues Old Stand) who provides the low-end foundation for a rich pallete filled out by available members of the region's "post-urban-jazz-swamp-hop-rock" elite. Open minds, open hearts, and open ears recommended. Updates to be announced at any second.

"Deep South, anti-hate, anti-class, pro-equality, pro-love, combustible crunk machine that is currently barrelling through juke joints and music halls across America's Southland stimulating dialogue and attempting to medicate the deep wounds still lingering from the civil rights era...and offering a hopeful outlook on life in general, despite the ever increasing bizarreness and sureality of modernity." ................................................................................................................................................
"Bitches Brew meets Fela Kuti, meets Jerry Garcia, meets Duane Allman, abducted by Donlad Fagen, spanked repetitively by James Brown, "hot-boxed" by The Wailers, beat up by The Meters, rescued by Squarepusher, crushed up & smoked by George Clinton, and then finally healed by Kirk Fanklin."

That's my new CD, "Deacon Blues", the straight ahead organ trio I've been wanting to do for years. It's getting great reviews and lots of radio play - and it's only Jazz; Go figure! The CD features some good friends, including two of my favorite guitarists, Mike DeMicco and the phenomenal Joe Beck. Danny Gottlieb lays down the groove with my brother Tony guesting on bass for a couple of tracks.
The CD is available on line at AMAZON.COM or at WOODSTOCK CD where they also have artist-signed copies in stock. (arguably making them worth less!)
1. To have a close relationship with someone. - "Carlos and I have been tight ever since high school."
2. Cool, hip, fashionable - "Did you see his new apartment?...It's tight!"
3. the mood or spirit between members of a musical group who are having a particularly excellent performance. "They rocked that place out, it was super funky and the band was tight, man. We were all feelin' it."
Love and Respect from Camp G. Have a great week! - Your Friend, Jake Glasgow (Mister G)
Last month, Motema Music officially released my new CD, "Deacon Blues". This is the straight ahead organ trio I've been wanting to do for years. It's a 'players' album, I think, featuring several old friends: Two of my favorite guitarists - Mike DeMicco and the phenomenal Joe Beck - and the legendary Danny Gottlieb laying down the groove. Plus, we've got my brother Tony on bass for a couple of tracks. You don't find him on Jazz sessions that often.
The CD is available on line at AMAZON.COM. or at Woodstock CD where they also have artist-signed copies in stock. (arguably making them worth less!) If you do Amazon and feel moved to drop a comment there, that would be much appreciated.
