He kicks ass on those two cds. Besides Living Colour and Nirvana, they played the most intense rock in the 90s. Also, check out Melvin on Jean-Paul Bourelly's Saints and Sinners - nasty! Of course, what can you say about his work with Harriet Tubman.

It was awesome getting to see the Voice, but it was already getting weird there, managementwise and I picked up on it a bit. He got a kick out of the CIA-emblazoned T-shirt I had on. <BR/><BR/>Then every time I saw him out at a cultural event, I was always too starstruck (lol) to walk up and speak. Even when I sat right by the tiny ass stage at Joe's Pub during a Burnt Sugar performance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486244714643027014.post-50624565969653678212009-01-04T17:52:00.000-08:002009-01-04T17:52:00.000-08:00Dawg, those two cats are part of that progressive ...Dawg, those two cats are part of that progressive funk/jazz/avant garde music that I love.
