Jim Alfredson Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 Carl and Rodney have a new CD on Mack Avenue records called Get Ready and they're going out on tour to support it.

Chuck Nessa Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 It's always good to know where these guys are. Quote
Joe G Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 I got the call for this like yesterday. Literally. I don't have the charts yet, so I've been learning tunes off the cd. Some VERY nice stuff here. I'm really looking forward to this. As of now, I'm on these dates: Cliff Bells in Detroit Green River Cafe in East Lansing Live from Blue Lake Nighttown in Cleveland There is also an appearance on Ed Love's radio show and a tv performance in Detroit on the 30th. I was told that Rodney Jones would only be doing the NY stuff. As of today the Grand Rapids and Pentwater gigs have yet to be confirmed. I'd therefore assume I would be doing those if they come through. Also, I think Wes Anderson will be filling in for Steve Wilson outside of NY. Quote
Free For All Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 Well, Joe, have fun and try not to fuck up! Quote
Joe G Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 I must not fuck up... I must not fuck up... I must not fuck up... I must not fuck up... Quote
bertrand Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 (edited) This is like that Far Side cartoon; the caption should read 'Joe fucks up'! I got to hang with Rodney and Carl when they were the rhythm section for the pianists at the Monk competition last year. We spent a whole Friday at rehearsals - real nice guys. Rodney used to teach Joe G. and B3-er and had real nice things things to say. Too bad they're not coming through DC - I'd be there in a heartbeat. Bertrand. Edited May 24, 2007 by bertrand Quote

CJ Shearn Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 hey Joe tell Carl I said hi, I met him back here in Binghamton when he performed with his group. Quote
Dan Gould Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 Is that really a 7 AM hit on a local morning show? Hope you play something mellow for that hour of the day. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted May 29, 2007 Author Report Posted May 29, 2007 Yeah, that's the FOX2 morning show. We did it last year with organissimo. It was really rough. I have a DVD of it somewhere. I look like I have no idea where I am. Quote
Dan Gould Posted May 29, 2007 Report Posted May 29, 2007 Yeah, that's the FOX2 morning show. We did it last year with organissimo. It was really rough. I have a DVD of it somewhere. I look like I have no idea where I am. I'm not surprised, asking musicians to make a 7 AM hit. Shit like that should be covered in the Geneva Convention, if not the Union work rules. Quote
Lazaro Vega Posted May 30, 2007 Report Posted May 30, 2007 That's 10 p.m. on Blue Lake. www.bluelake.org I think we have Rick Roe on piano, Joe on guitar and Wess "Warmdaddy" Anderson on alto. Follow up to the new CD, "Get Ready," as in Smokey Robinson's "Get Ready," as well as Marvin Gaye's "Inner City Blues." A collection of Motown inspired melodies taken the jazz route. Quote
randissimo Posted May 30, 2007 Report Posted May 30, 2007 Yeah, that's the FOX2 morning show. We did it last year with organissimo. It was really rough. I have a DVD of it somewhere. I look like I have no idea where I am. And I had the toothache from hell that morning.. Quote
Joe G Posted June 4, 2007 Report Posted June 4, 2007 Up! Everyone can hear us tonight performing on Lazaro Vega's show at Blue Lake Public Radio. http://www.bluelake.org/radio.html Quote
Lazaro Vega Posted June 4, 2007 Report Posted June 4, 2007 Thanks Joe. 10 p.m. eastern time! Bringing the camera so maybe we'll have some pics to share, though I have no idea how to attach them to a post..... Quote
randissimo Posted June 5, 2007 Report Posted June 5, 2007 Thanks Joe. 10 p.m. eastern time! Bringing the camera so maybe we'll have some pics to share, though I have no idea how to attach them to a post..... I'm listening right now... YEAH JOE !!! Quote
7/4 Posted June 5, 2007 Report Posted June 5, 2007 (edited) I'm listening too. Edited June 5, 2007 by 7/4 Quote
7/4 Posted June 5, 2007 Report Posted June 5, 2007 Yeah, lets get that Organissimo plug in there... Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted June 5, 2007 Author Report Posted June 5, 2007 I was busy editing and forgot about this, but I caught the last tune. Sounded really good, Joe! Kickin' ass! Quote
rachel Posted June 5, 2007 Report Posted June 5, 2007 (edited) Terrific!! ...and how about Lazaro rockin' the organissimo props! we want pics! Edited June 5, 2007 by rachel Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted June 5, 2007 Report Posted June 5, 2007 Ann, Skid and I were there. Joe did kick ass! AND Organissimo (band and forum) got some plugs. Quote
Uncle Skid Posted June 5, 2007 Report Posted June 5, 2007 Smokin' hot jazz. On a Monday night. In West Michigan. In a very dark forest in the middle of nowhere. How is that! Incidentally, their new record "Get Ready" is available on EMusic. Quote
Uncle Skid Posted June 5, 2007 Report Posted June 5, 2007 Oh yeah, did I forget to mention that a certain guitar player we all know and love kicked some SERIOUS ass?? Quote
