Darling Nikki
Sex Mob Meets Medeski- Live in Willisau 2009 via Thirsty Ear
a note about this track

Sex Mob's sets feature a high proportion of covers, usually familiar pop songs, given a humorous, but avant garde treatment. Bernstein points out that this is a return to a fundamental jazz tradition, to take a familiar song then disassemble and reassemble. * Steven Bernstein - slide trumpet * Tony Scherr - bass * Briggan Krauss - saxophone * Kenny Wollesen - drums * John Medeski - Organ

a note about this track

Black Joe Lewis and the Honey Bears are an eight-piece outfit of twenty-something devotees of hard blues-funk. Fronted by young guitarist and soul shouter Joe Lewis, these talented newcomers on the Austin, Texas, music scene have unleashed one of the toughest, rawest funk EP's to come out in many years.
