OK, I hate the nostalgia posts as much as anyone, but some of the best music I've ever heard in my life was at the Monday night Village Vanguard sessions that Gil Evans did for years and years in the mid-seventies, a great period for experimentation and a tough time for paying the rent. The band included Buzzy on guitar, Trevor Koehler on flute and baritone sax, David Sanborn on alto and Howard Johnson on trombone and bass clarinet. SVENGALI is the LP that was generated by that band/gig. Wow.
Buzz Feiten IMO is the premiere guitar player of the boomer generation. And also probably the most unrecognized. All of his work, starting with Butterfield, is great, especially the two cds with Weckl.
To me this concert (Thursday at the MI vault) has some of the best playing I ever heard by Buzz Feiten. Great funky rhythm with relatively clean sound, and incredible inspiring solos by Feiten too. In fact all in the band are playing real good, pure joy to listen to!
Strange at 3.08 minutes Buzz looked around to Brandon to beckon him to introduce his solo and he wasn’t there by 3.11 he was. A cut in the video which I thought was live. None the less it was an awesome sax solo played with real passion.
Awesome piece of music of course in dedication to Gene Dinwiddie tenor sax with Paul Butterfield Blues Band- great solo by Buzz at the end and Brandon Fields man oh man.
I lived in Paul Butterfield's shed for a summer in 73 and got to see him sit in with Feiten's band Full Moon at a local bar. Man they were good. Groove and musicianship was off the charts.
TJ, damn dude, my initials are PJ, and I first heard Butter back in...1965? Went to a bunch of his shows, and a schoolmate, Reggie Lucas, and I were supposed to interview him for our high school newspaper after a gig, but sadly it fell through. Many great memories. Used to steal harp solos of Paul's. Waaaaay back in the day! LOL!
just to clarify, all of the teachers playing was top knotch but giving up me was a classless move on the schools part. i guess i should be thanking them because now i have something to proove, Brian Evans
this guy was my drumteacher i never showed off so he must have thought i sucked and he would use books to teach me every week. i no longer study with him because i got kicked out of the school he works for for sucking but i didnt suck they did

Gene Dinwiddie and David Sanborne, road warriors with PBB in the late sixties. Hurt me boys!!!! C'mon now.., the best.

Buzzy is a great guitar player. Saw him first at the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach, CA with the Butterfield band in 1968.
The ORIGINAL Golden Bear!!!!!! Across the street from the Huntington Beach pier....CA
@@jerryvivanco4898 Yes, saw Tower of Power there, horn section blew away the crowd, lol...I want to say '82.

I agree. I might add Danny Weis, also a baby boomer, awesome and equally unrecognized.
Very true!

Buzz and Brandon... instant match. Loved their work on those Weckl albums.
Suuuuper!!!!! I discovered some new musicians who happened to be playing with one of my top Saxophone Masters- Brandon Fields😃
he was a great teacher who has helped influence the younger generation of drummers
Jerry Watts is becoming my favorite bass player. As always, great groove and great note selection. Thanks for the post.

Love this song..

Buzz is a funk monster
wonderful Jerry, your bass playing and the song
Genius
Much more melodic a player than so many guitarists of his genre/day. BUT! I love Thomas' solo here even more!
muito bom, perfeito!
Funking amazing!!!
Great tribute to Gene
That tenor player has great tone.
I first met Buzzy and Gene Dinwiddie and of course Paul Butterfield when I was 17..
Lucky man!
