I arrived late at 7:45pm to check out the funky jazz sensation Dave Mullen
& Butta. They already performed "Mahoney's Way" and was playing
"March of the Roaches", with Dave Mullen blowing hot horny sounds
from both saxophone and clarinet! "Flip It" was great with the
bombastic drumming in the middle of the song (I don't remember the drummer's
name), matched with the insane keys of Etienne and turntable scratching of
Eric-Jay (aka "Snakefoot")! Margarita tackled the lead vocals for
"Chase Away the Rain" very well, and "Like Rashaan" was
quite jazz-funky with the stank bass riffs of Don Martin and the combination of
tribal drumbeats & cowbell. "Lost Souls" and "True
Believer" were Margarita vocal spotlights, with Dave throwing down hot
& horny sax riffs on "True Believer". Before I forget, the guys
did a great instrumental of The O'Jays's "For the Love of Money".
"Squid" was a good ending to the jazz-funk set, which concluded
around 9:00pm.
