There’s not enough hard-core blues ‘n’ funk in New York City — that’s the premise of my new City-Arts column, prompted by the Free Form Funky Freqs (Vernon Reid, Jamaaladeen Tacuma, G. Calvin Weston) performing at the Stone two Fridays ago.
If this kind of power trio (or quartet — whatever) is happening somewhere I haven’t heard about, please let me know! Must have great blues/rock guitarist, very imaginative and active bassist plus drummer with swing and drive.
