Saturday Matinee – Too Many Zooz, The Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio & Buddy Guy w/ B.B. King
“Warriors” by Too Many Zooz, shot somewhere under NYC, is oddly interesting. Some call it street music, but the band calls it “brass house.” Kinda rough on my ears, but I get it.
Tight sound with a nice groove. The Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio (aka DLO3) covers Curtis Mayfield‘s 1970 soul classic Move On Up.
Delvon Lamarr – Hammond B3 organ
Jabrille “Jimmy James” Williams – guitar
– drums
“When I’m pushing up daisies, don’t forget. You’re still my, Buddy”
Two greats, Buddy Guy and (the late) B.B. King. No more needs to be said.
Have a great weekend, search for the truth, ignore the liars, and be back tomorrow for Funday.
