Don't know Liquid Soul, but they look like an appropriate number of people to carry the tune...

 

They gave birth to the acid-jazz genre back in the early-mid 90's & were nominated for a Grammy in 2000.  Based here in Chicago.  Think jazz, funk, fusion, soul, hip-hop and rock poured into a blender.  That's how every song is.  Sax & leader is Mars Williams of the Psychedelic Furs, The Waitresses and Extraordinary Popular Delusions.   Ignore the trance/techno/edm tracks on youtube done by a European DJ who stole their name & is facing lawsuits.  They played the Double Door every Sunday night for a number of years and are actually credited with having saved it from closing by packing the place on Sunday nights.

 (first track on their first CD)

 

 

 

 Their rendition of Dizzy's "Salt Peanuts" was featured by the NFL some years ago:

 

  Once past the intro, this is probably one of their "stabbiest" tracks

 

Lots more good stuff from them too. Almost everything on their first 3 albums was awesome. 

 

If you are ever in the Chicago area - come check them out.

A couple on moon photos at early dusk

I actually saw that aeroplane first and ran to get the camera, had no time so quickly snapped a photo on auto setting. To see it you need to expand photo #1

Parlophone, that's good stuff right there. Really like that one. We have a visitor here at the house this morning. Photo from my front door. Estimate it to be at least 7' long, a rat snake. Wouldn't dare kill it. Which photo is better?

That snake looks dangerous, can it hurt humans?

 

Of course I like the first photo better because it is clearer. It shows the snake in its full and almost three-domensional :).

The most dangerous snake where I live is the long-nosed viper (Vipera ammodytes). If it bite man is usually dead within minutes.

Photo I shot of Mars Williams of the Psychedelic Furs, Liquid Soul, Extraordinary Popular Delusions & The Waitresses.  Shot this on 1/1/11 during a Liquid Soul concert at the Double Door in Chicago. Only pchop was a slight sharpening.  Shot this with a very old, 4MP FinePix S5100
