oh my god you lucky bastard. well he has to be good if he raised a stanton. heh. and well no i didnt speak to him. buti remember reading some article long time ago (that i dont recall now), and getting the idea that he was the kind to leave the 'must-know' things up to the responsibility of the student. something to do with reading, that he would expect the student to learn it on its own or something. of course this information is not much use for you.
when i saw him perform tho, i thought him very experimental and at the same time patient. his second set involved another drummer (ie astral project with two drummers). i dont recall the guys name because i didnt like him. sure hes got chops. but he was overplaying like hell, he was obviously not listening to johnny and he had this devil may care attitude about it. at the same time, he was drowning johnny out, and with relatively poor tone no less. alot of that set sounded like shit. and then before the last piece, he gets off his throne and goes to the mic and thanks astral project for being his 'musical brothers' and implies that he was to some extent a student of johnny's, and has jammed with them before.
i know johnny at one time was doing two-drummer jams with stanton. i dont know how long it has been but its still pretty much experimental today. its a different concept from the james brown band thing. the key is spontanaiety instead of strength. that said, if hes still trying it out without being very successful, he must be one patient man. even more so if he can keep cool through a whole set with a guy who was spoiling it for him. or maybe johnny took it as a challenge...
on the other hand, if the other drummer really was a student of johnny's, it would put him on the same plane as stanton, and this would be living proof that it takes a good student to learn well, not just a good teacher.
so there. maybe you ll get to gig with johnny v sometime. and he still plays with george porter weekly so maybe youd get to gig with him too. god you must be so excited

wow thats interesting. but he couldnt be so bad could he?
im not into jon cleary, but wouldve seen him if he was performing. the drummer who was performing that i missed was chico hamilton...
the only other acts i caught in n.o was a george porter trio, a funk rock band and a brass band.
george porter was playing with russel batiste and brian stoltz. im not a fan of batiste and well yeah, wasnt really into porter with this lineup.
cosmic sweat society opened for porter. on the two recordings i heard off their webbie, they sound nice and tight, and you sorta get a whiff of a george clinton over chili peppers thing going on. but when i saw them live they were mostly a funky bassist, bluesy guitarist and keyboardist and new orleans drummer playing with rock sensibility. didnt get the drummers name. he was pretty good, just that his power fills werent so in tune with the rest.
the soul rebels brass band is apparently the hottest brass band of the moment as theyre promoting their latest album. they re good stuff but dont seem to believe in sound control so i didnt stay to watch the entire gig.
besides the pubs that host well-known, well-toured musicians, there are the pubs, restaurants and cafes that have house bands, but these are the ones who play traditional. the players are good but only to the extent of their repertoire.
other than all that, from visiting the two cd stores it seems that this band called papagrowsfunk is really hot at the moment too. i havent read the reviews yet but i think they were big at the jazz and heritage fest.
yeah so thats new orleans, and i was there for less than 4 days. its that active, the music dept is always buzzing. i love it.
