The purest form of communication, Music speaks to the heart and soul! I can listen to any style music as long as the performers are really talented. I lean to the Jazz and Jam Band, Rock and Roll side of the music spectrum by preference. PHISH was and is my favorite band ever(so far). That is not to say they are the best I've ever heard, but they took me places I'd have never been and helped bring some great people into my life. I really dig classic jazz, big band, swing, beebop, funk. Other bands and musicians worth mentioning, Buddy Rich, Rush, Les Claypool, Mel Torme', Michael Franti and Spearhead, The various incarnations of P-funk, Oysterhead, the Police, Sting, Moe, Caharlie Parker, Ella Fitzgerald, Gerry Mulligan, Sonny Stit, Dexter Gordon, Maceo Parker, Count Basie, Billy Holiday, Voodoo Daddies, Brian Setzer Orchestra, Frank Zappa, Extreme, and for reasons deeper than the music Collective Soul. Gods, there are so many more that belong here, these just come to mind now. Local Orlando area bands where you may find me include...Shak Nasti, Bluelegs, Florganism, The Legendary JCs, Funkus, Sonar, THCv2.0, and Brother Bean come to mind at the moment. Orlando is blessed with so many talented musicians in the jam scene so come and hear! My current favorite new band is Bonobos Convergence(see my blog/ and friends for details) Much more to say here or on my Blog later.
