I’m still too lazy to write anything but that doesn’t mean I’m not digging around the archive, and this find is quite nice.
Soulive started as a trio (the brothers neal and Alan evans, and Eric Krasno) before getting more popular and adding a horn section, a myriad of singers and the actual talib fucking kweli (on some nights, usually in Brooklyn). I saw them a lot at festivals and the music clubs around Boston in the mid 2000s, i can’t remember the dates I went to , so this link is a fairly early show, before I started seeing the band. I wanted to dig around the time before the horns and all of that because I prefer the trio.
For me it’s all about: doin something>chameleon (herbie Hancock)>doin somethin and Jesus children of America (Stevie wonder)> who knows (band of gypsies)> Jesus children.
It’s a sick tape that I’ve been loving all day, I love that d6 clavinet and Hammond b3 sound. Enjoy:
