MILO-Z
At B.B. King's Blues Club - NYC (1/14/05)
Milo-Z and partner in crime Joe Copeland!
At 11:40pm, B.B. King's Blues Club was getting pretty packed
with folks who paid $1 to see the MILO-Z funk party...well, the party started
with the funky Z-Funk musicians playing some JB stuff called "Pass The
Peas"...very FUNKY horns and rhythm guitar stuff! After the usual Milo-Z
intro, it was on to "That Boy is Crazy", featuring the soulful vocals
of Milo-Z himself and the moment of red-hot lead guitarisms!! "Life"
was good, but "Body" was better with a burning trumpet soloby Sharief
and mo' red-hot lead guitar riffs! "My Heart Said Boom" was a
bonafide funky jam featuring the smokin' bassisms of Smokin' Joe Copeland!
Speaking of Joe, "Superstition" featured his raw, smokey lead vocals
and a rapid-fire, machine-gun drum solo ending by Yuval Lion!!With Yuval still
on the drums, the other musicians took a break for about 5 minutes and returned
to perform "Little Red Riding Hood" (JUST TOO FONKAY!) "Get Up,
Get Up" featured some standout keyboard riffs by Scotty Love! The horn
solos were da bomb and Smokin' Joe's bass solo was kickin'! "Stop the
Violence" was driven byhot lead guitar riffs! "Reefa Man" was
interesting, because Joe changed the lyrics in his part....it wasn't
"Reefa, reefa, reefa man....I want my reefa, reefa, reefa....."
"Bark" was a new songthat smoked the entire room with some heavy
funk! "Korrina" was the ending to the fun-filled night which had
EVERYONE on the dance floor doin' their thang...the nasty clavinet riffs that
equal the "stench of 100 cans of wet Magic Shave" was provided by Mr.
Scotty Love! Also, the descending bass swooping of Smokin' Joe was blastin'
everyone's pleasure receptors! And let's not ignore the expert crooning by
Milo-Z and Joe during the last minute or two of the show. The funk experience
unfortunately had to come to a close at 1:45am.
