Saturday Matinee – Jonathan Winters, Manu Chao, Gnarlemagne & Billy Cobham/George Duke Band
Jonathan Winters (1925-2013) was the most talented improvisational comedian ever. R.I.P.
Manu Chao, Live Baionarena – Dia Luna Dia Pena. Chao’s got an interesting background that explains a lot of his leftist politics.
Gnarlemagne‘s “Funky New Orleans” is some fun nasty ska.
“The Red Baron” by The Billy Cobham – George Duke Band, live at Montreax Switzerland in 1976. Very cool funk groove, featuring George Duke, John Scofield, Alphonso Johnson and Billy Cobham.
That’ll do for another edition of The Saturday Matinee. Have a great weekend folks.

[h/t Bunkarina for finding this.]
“Pot Belly,” recorded in 2007 by South African band Freshlyground. Nice song with a cool video [via].
Here’s Freshlyground live with “Fire Is Low” from 2011.
Leon Russell celebrated his 71st birthday 2 April. From the 1971 Concert for Bangladesh, here’s his take on the Stones‘ “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” and The Coasters‘ “Young Blood.”
The event was the first-ever benefit concert of such a magnitude and featured a supergroup of performers that included George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Billy Preston, Leon Russell, the band Badfinger, Ravi Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan [Wiki].
With that, we’re out of here. Have a great weekend folks.
