why have I never seen this until now!? (there's 4 parts)

[WhatstheUse?]

This interview is awesome!  I've never really heard anything about Scott Herman, Tom Marshal's writing partner?

Also really cool to hear about the recording and songwriting process of Story of the Ghost

this is the most uncomfortable interview ever.

Not a true "phish" interview, but I can't think of a better place to post this... Great interview!

I remember seeing that on TV when it first aired and thougth the same thing.

Could have renamed it Awkward City Limits.

Interesting read.  Very interesting they asked him to play on the Stones last year.  Glad he didn't.  I thought he was terrible (just my opinion) on WfC this year and would have ruined the Stones set last year.  The Dap Kings lineup last year was great.  Should have brought them back this year...

a) there was only one maybe two dap kings last year (in the horn section)
b) the dap kings and antibalas were basically the same overlapping bands at one point many years ago
c) you're fucking wrong about them being bad this year

Yup - the trumpet player for Exile also played for WfC... he is a "Dap King" member. The others are all part of the Daptone extended family... and I agree with RJ when it comes to right and wrong (in this case, and, seemingly, in the majority of other cases, but certainly not always).

I do find it difficult to see how anyone could have thought that 2010's costume horn section was "terrible" - they sounded great. 

The horns have a rather loose feel to them on that record, perhaps that was mistaken for horrible.

[Mr Minor]

We can agree to disagree on the sax player.  I enjoyed the WfC set, but he was just not good on his solos, imo.  I didn't have a problem with "horn section" as a whole, just the sax player.  Everyone else was good sounding to me.
If you reread my post, I do not mention anything about anyone else.

Upon re-reading your post I still thing that you are fucking wrong.

Enjoy.


Pie-Guy, thanks for the link. That was a great read.

[Igbo]

Good read, thanks for posting Pieguy!

As far as his solos during WfC, i dont know since i havent heard the set or heard WfC as a record.

But as someone who has seen Antibalas and The DapKings for many years now, and have had chatted with and partied with Stuart, he is an amazing musician, very knowledgeable about music, and an all around good dude.

[MiamiPhish]

Well if nothing else, at least we can present our own opinions without curt judgment from others.


Oh, wait..


:shakehead:

[rowjimmy]

Seriously, though. Minor says that dudes solos were no good but they were good. They were exactly what they should have been and well within the spirit of the original record.

He furthur asserts that opinion as a basis for saying that stuart and co. would have sucked on Exile but knowing his work, I can confidently say that they would have played exactly what the gig required... This sort of rock horn stuff is not exactly a challenge for guys like that.
