Interview with Melvin Sparks

Scott — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 01:38:03 GMT

Melvin Sparks is the Essential Guitar Player. He’s The Master Of The Groove! The Acid-Jazz Pioneer! The Originator of Soul Jazz, Old School Acid Jazz & Barbecue Funk(FUNKJAZZ)

Over the last thirty years he has played with some of Jazz’s greatest musicians: David "Fathead" Newman, Lou Donaldson, Hank Crawford, Reuben Wilson and John Patton (are amongst the many). During the 1970s, Sparks backed up Lou Donaldson on the Funk-Jazz classics "Everything I Play Is Funky" and "Hot Dog".

Sparks recorded seven albums of his own and played on over 100 other albums. As a session man for Blue Note and Prestige Records, Sparks laid his signature guitar work on many other musician’s albums without ever being in spotlight. It was during this time that Melvin defined the jazz-guitar sound of a generation.

Jon Justice CD Release show 4.18.08

Scott — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 00:00:28 GMT

April 7, 2008 (Cincinnati, OH) -- Jon Justice will be releasing their long awaited sophomore album, "The Rebound", Friday April 18th at Covington's best venue for live music, Molly Malone's. Shyte Mcflyte, a newly formed Jazz/Blues Hip Hop Fusion group will be kicking off the night at 9:30 sharp. Make sure to bring your dancing shoes for these guys! Entry is FREE with the purchase of "The Rebound" and $5 otherwise.

The new release from Jon Justice is more representative of what he brings to the table as an individual as well as a songwriter and performer. Jon's first album, "Forget About Time", although very good, was admittedly slightly over produced. In his latest effort he has used his current touring band in the studio with him along with producer Phillip Wolfe and an array of great backup singers. This is in contrast to using such well known heavy hitters as Wayne Jackson of the Memphis Horns on the previous record. You are sure to get your money's worth with "The Rebound" as the total track count comes in at a very impressive 14 songs. "The Rebound" will be available at many of your favorite local retailers as well as at www.jonjustice.com but don't miss out on the very first opportunity to get your copy, Friday April 18th at Molly Malone's in Covington, KY.

Interview with Kelly Richey

Scott — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 03:05:17 GMT

Guitarist/singer Kelly Richey has been described by one music critic as: “Stevie Ray Vaughan trapped in a woman’s body with Janis Joplin screaming to get out.” That’s an apt appraisal of the Lexington, Kentucky native, who’s now been based in Cincinnati for many years. Over the course of many album releases (and a live DVD), Richey has often been compared to such greats as Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan because of her ability to capture and entertain an audience with ripping guitar leads that both sing and astonish.

In a career that has already spanned nearly a half century, Jorma Kaukonen has been the leading practitioner and teacher of fingerstyle guitar, one of the most highly respected interpreters of American roots music, blues, and Americana, and at the forefront of popular rock-and-roll.

He was a founding member of two legendary bands, The Jefferson Airplane and the still-touring Hot Tuna, a Grammy nominee for his highly acclaimed “Blue Country Heart,” and the most in-demand instructor in the galaxy of stars who teach at the guitar camp that he and his wife operate in picturesque Southeastern Ohio, The Fur Peace Ranch.

guitarists you need to hear

999 — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 05:38:13 GMT

first and foremost, you need to check out "Winds". the guitarist, Karl Tidemman is out of control. he's a sweeper, bar-none.

also, Alexi Laiho from Children of Bodom is another psycho. kinda self-indulgent, but great none-the-less

waldermar sorychita-he was in despair, and grip inc w/ dave lombardo. great tapping technique.

and if you haven't heard them, then you must go out and get Cynic "Focus". just get the album.

and finally, my personal favorite, james murphy....the lead guitarist from:

death
obituary
solstice
disincarnate
cancer
testament

basically, he played with eevryone. he did guest solos for malevolent creation too.

WORST GUITAR SOLO

David — Fri, 20 Apr 2007 18:38:52 GMT

ANYthing played by Neil Young...

just listen to what he does to " Southern Man"

Jimmy Page / The Firm " Radioactive "

Nick Mars from the Crue just had no business picking the thing up.....

and neither did Vinnie Vincent.....when he joined KISS he enbarrassed himself during his "SOLO " spot by ending it with ERUPTION!

Not only did he comp someone elses tune...he did it BADLY !!!
