VERNON REID & MASQUE - Known Unknown [2004]

Eu vi o show desse disco em 2005, Sampa, e só dá para comparar com o show do Living Colour que rolou aqui em agosto do ano passado (yeah, eu vi os dois hahahaha). Com uma roupagem mais jazz/rock, traz releituras de Thelonious Monk (Brilliant Corners) e Lee Morgan (Sidewinder), participação de DJ Logic (que trabalhou com Vernon em Mistaken Identity e é parceiro no Yohimbe Brothers) e a batera animal de Marlon Browden. Highly Recommended!

DON BYRON - Nu Blaxploitation [1998]

Conheci o trabalho de Don Byron em Mistaken Identity, primeiro solo de Vernon Reid (ambos membros da Black Rock Coalition) onde o cara tira o som mais doido de clarineta que já ouvi. Acompanhado da banda Existential Dred (Uri Caine: piano e órgão, Ben Wittman: bateria e Reggie Washington: Baixo), Byron foca em Nu Blaxploitation os anos 70 funk. Meu destaque vai para as músicas Blinky (onde imagino que ele cita Mais Que Nada de Jorge Ben no solo de clarineta), Fencewalk (Mandrill) e If 6 Was 9 (Hendrix). Jazz/Funk de primeira!

Don Byron: Clarinets, baritone sax, background vocals, percussion
Sadiq: Poet
Uri Caine: Piano, organ, clavinet, background vocals
Reggie Washington: Bass, background vocals
Ben Wittman: Drums
Dean Bowman: Vocals
Rodney Holmes: Drums (track 06)
