Johnny Sketch and the Dirty Notes

[jazzboCR]

Been together since '01 and on their way to being a Crescent City institution. These Classically trained musicians combine so many different elements, they had to go in "Alternative"--funk, R&R, Gypsy/Klezmer, Latin horns and and Whiskey Tango Foxtrot (thanks to Big Ears for that phrase). No Wiki and their AMG is, er, sketchy--5 live albums only are listed though their Site lists 5 others: http://www.johnnysketch.com/ If you're still with me in this post, you're gonna like'm.

Some tunes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QesaPdArYrA << Pretty amazing stuff, ain't it?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vp855okYOv0 << Their songs run long but they are not a jam band--too tightly constructed for that label.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_S-aeMdbo8 << Terrif songs, great solos and they play off each other so well...

SPECIAL NOTE to Midwesterners and Canadians escaping the Winter blahs in SWFlorida--hear them and Here Comes the Mummies here: http://funkfestpuntagorda.com/Home_Page.html << It's a great party that keeps getting better, year-over-year

Bro SteveO--I found them in an ad for that festival, got intrigued...and the rest is on your screen. I'm equally proud to have presented David Migden here. Debbie Bond is no slouch either. Been a pretty good week.
