Saturday Matinee – Jeremiah McDonald does Dizzy & Charlie, The Red Devils, Smokin’ Joe Kubek & Bnois King, and The Homemade Jamz Blues Band

Jerimiah McDonald lip syncs Leap Frog, Dizzy Gillespie vs. Charlie Parker. [h/t Mme. Jujujive]

The Red Devils were a house band from L.A. featuring front man Lester Butler. They had much success after their debut album King King (1992), but the stress of their U.S. and European tours took its toll, and Butler’s drug habit didn’t help. They split up in 1994; Butler died of an overdose four years later at the age of 38.

Smokin’ Joe Kubek & Bnois King played together for decades until Kubek passed away in 2015 at age 58. Both Kubek and King have impressive resumes filled with blues cred.

From Tupelo, Mississippi, siblings Ryan, Kyle and Taya Perry are The Homemade Jamz Blues Band. In 2007, the trio made music history as the youngest blues band to sign a record deal: Ryan was 16, Kyle 14 and Taya 9.

Got a busy day tomorrow. Big plans, y’know, big plans. I don’t know what they are yet, just that tomorrow’s gonna be busy. See you then.
