Music from a Live performance in Yokohama, Japan! http://youngprofessordrums.com/2011/02/21/555/ http://youngprofessordrums.com/2011/02/21/555/#comments Tue, 22 Feb 2011 00:39:16 +0000 yP http://youngprofessordrums.com/?p=555 Finally I’ve got some new music for you all to check out! In Summer 2009 I went to Japan for 2 months and did a lot of playing. Some friends and I had been trying to get together to work on some music for quite a while and I finally managed to get myself over there. We (the band AND the fans) enjoyed a lot of super-charged magical musical moments during that trip. We’d like to share some of those with you. I call this project the Phunk Organik Society. My friends Moto and Hiroshi spent the better part of 20 years playing on the Chicago RnB scene playing with Sugar Blue and Mavis Staples among others. These guys are the best of the best and I’m privileged to be able to play with them.
