We recently hit the road for the Moore
and More tour featuring Stanton
Moore, Charlie Hunter and Skerik.
The shows ran up the West Coast and were
in support of Stanton's album, 'All
Kooked Out!'. The tour was documented
and the site was updated daily.
It was a treat to see all of these shows
and be able to see the amount of spontaneity
that took place every night as well
as the amount of chances taken musically
by each artist. Besides the recording
of 'All Kooked Out!', which was recorded
all live and without much rehearsal
in the studio, these three guys have
not spent a lot of time playing together
and since they are all heavily entrenched
in their own full-time projects, the
music had a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants
feel and lead to some amazing jams,
some of which can be heard in the clips
below. The other thing that was interesting
was while watching these guys funk out,
it was hard to conjure up another trio
lineup (besides maybe Medeski, Martin
and Wood, who have more of a jazzy,
ethereal feel to their music as opposed
to straight-ahead funk) that gets downright
funky. In any case, this was truly a
special tour for both the musicians
and audience alike.

Note: You will need a 56.6 speed modem to stream
these clips. People who have modems
slower than 56.6 should download the file to
your hardrive to avoid annoying breaks in the
song. |
