Friday Again

Which means music in Bryant Park once again, this time it was a performance by Robin Thicke, who pulls of the falsetto beautifully and worked the women in the crowd to quite a fever pitch. So glad it is Friday. Looking forward to a long train ride back to CT with a Fosters in my hand and a song in my heart. Ain't I sweet. Been digging the sound I'm getting out of my new Fender Fretless Bass, it adds a thump sound to the groove which is what I really enjoy. Listening to a lot of bebop stuff with a CD Jazz at Massey Hall '53 being my new repeat album. It has Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Max Roach, Bud Powell, and of course the famed bass player Mr. Charlie Mingus. It's been a fun musical journey lately, I've been hitting up some of the funk stylings of Curtis Mayfield and Sly and the Family Stone then hitting the Jazz Giants all the while trying to incorporate that into a Rock band groove and I say groove because that is what I love most about those guys they can really envelop the audience with rhythm or a riff that just is incendiary and people leave feeling emotionally and physically spent.
