OT: band you've never posted before

Really like this song, love the band, and lead singer Brittany Holljes makes me wish I could shed about 40 years and get back in the game. Oh, well.

They're out of Durham, N.C. Is this the best thing ever to come out of Durham? Any idea who we could ask about that?...😇

For classical and old time fans. Great bowed bass work by Paul Kowert, and when he and Britt get going on Johnson Boys at about the 3:40 mark, things take off.

Tchavolo Schmitt, and one of the great manouche tunes. Main tune starts at the 3:00 mark, but the whole clip, taken from the movie, is great,

That intro was like the reincarnation of Django playing Fado in a Lisbon back alley bar. Thank you!

Have a Lakeside vibe to them. Radio stations don't play this song enough.

I'm surprised I have never played a song from this classic R&B band from Louisiana.

Nefesh Mountain - The Narrow Bridge

Broadly defined as Jewish Bluegrass but a blend of traditional styles.
My nephew is an Emmy winning filmmaker and is currently involved with these folks creating a documentary of their music.

Choose Love - Hayley Jane Band

Not many folks know that Phil Collins was a member of an electric jazz band called Brand X for a couple of years while he was with Genesis. Here’s one of my favorite cuts of theirs.

 

[Jackcatscal]

The Blue Project, a jazz/rock group from the 1960s. Their album Projections was excellent--especially the very jazzy "Flute Thing."

BTW, the great Al Kooper was a a member of the group. Kooper played the organ on Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone."

 

[Jackcatscal]

The Boswell Sisters, a close harmony group from New Orleans in the 1930s. A great era for music.

 

[Jackcatscal]

Alabama 3, a British group that recorded "Woke Up This Morning"--a song we all know as the theme song for the great TV series The Sopranos. Here's the long version--with a recitation of the names of all the great blues and jazz performers who had passed. (P.S.: they were forced to change the name of the group to A3 in the US because the country group Alabama complained).

 

[Jackcatscal]

"Black Hole Sun," by the alt-rock group Soundgarden.

 

[Jackcatscal]

Louis Armstrong and His Hot Five--his first group. Classic New Orleans jazz from a classic period. Their recordings were among the first to be preserved by the Library of Congress.

 

[Jackcatscal]

Ireland's The Clancy Brothers--singing Dylan.

 

[Jackcatscal]

Old Crow Medicine Show singing "Wagon Wheel"--and Dylan has a co-writing credit. (Darius Rucker had a popular version of the son--but I like this version better).

 

[Jackcatscal]

You could spend forever listing to the songs from Tarantino film soundtracks. Here's maybe the most famous of them all, from the film Reservoir Dogs. What scene is it in? IYKYK.

There were some lesser known Seattle bands during the grunge era. Here's one of them.

Double shot of Carrie Akre, this is another band she was in.

Vitamin C (aka Colleen Fitzpatrick) was popular for at least a minute in the late 90s/early 2000s. I was fairly surprised to recently find out prior to that incarnation of herself, she was in a band that had a very different vibe than her solo stuff.

So if you're a gypsy jazz fan, this is one of my favorite takes. It's the John Jorgenson Quintet, and I had them a bunch of times at my concert series. He's a seriously great musician and an even better human being. Anyway, here he has Phoebe Hunt sit in with the band for a tune, and the result is magical. If you're into precision, this is a hot mess of missed cues, stepping on toes, etc, but it's the most fun I think I've ever seen any of these musicians have on a stage. The joy is over the top.

Really good selection.
