That would be exquisite. im in the studio right now chattin on I.M. with quest about our future... the future of music....and other stuff,. i'm mentaly preparing for the pre grammy jammy (roots jam session in L.A.) go to okayplayer for details. FUNK SWAY will be jammin that night with the rest of the crew. WHO is funk sway?... e.b., quest ,doyl , wendy and lisa , james poyser and mike elazondo ... look for us . ...Monday night im jammin with will.i.am and sergio mendez, q-tip, mos, indiah and some more cats..... so , im L.A. bound. oh yeah, before yu sign off , visit , BEFORE THE MUSIC DIES' , page. kay? ,kay. its 2006 so lets start over. never too late. light. oh , and.... my thoughts flow faster than my typing. lol what up D A L L A S!!!!! ebi." Erykah's Myspace page & from more Questlove's blog, another recap from board member "Boombastic" "-Funk Shway featuring Doyle Bramhall II (of SRV, Fiona, mad other people fame), Wendy (of the Revolution), Susannah Melvoin (The Family), Mike Elizado (Dre's bassist), James Poyser, Quest, and Miss Erykah Badu aka "Lowdown" Lorretta Brown. These guys took a moment to get things moving but they eventually took off. Doyle is a sick guitarist and once Badu took the lead vocally she did her thing (and she remains one of the most beautifull female artists I've ever laid eyes on in person). That "Annie Don't Wear No Panties" joint at the end of their mini-set was mind-bending." Okayplar message board-re... night Jam [Edited 2/11/06 16:31pm] | |

Friday Jan 20th 2006 "...Erykah Badu is my hero. She took it upon herself to help us gather up some of America's best musicians to perform on our soundtrack. Soon to be released on her Control Freaq label, the soundtrack features a diverse group of musicians from many genre's. Returning from L.A.~~I was witness to a "super group" creating originals for our soundtrack. What a soundtrack it is. In my opinion, it very well might be the best this year. ? The photo above, shot last night, was taken in the middle of the incredible session that was lead by Doyle Bramhall 2 on vocals and guitar, Erykah joining Doyle on vocals. Questlove (of The Roots) on drums, Wendy and Lisa (yep, from Prince's Revolution) were on guitar and keyboards, Mike Elizando on Bass and several others joining in to create original music on the spot. They all came together as a result of this film. I have only fond memories of each moment watching these pro's at work. These musicians really brought the best American music back! And it can all be found on our upcoming soundtrack....I'll never forget those nights in the studio! Also appearing on the soundtrack along with the group above.... Bonnie Riatt Branford Marsalis Dave Mathews Band The Roots North Mississippi All Stars Calexico Blaze Correo Aereo Sa Ra and eventually (we hope)....Stevie Wonder. We are just about done with the film....it's just a matter of days/hours... Please join us at the premier March 12th at The Paramount Theater (SXSW Film Festival) and the all star after party at Antones! Thanks again for your support. More updates coming soon such as our NPR appearance (very soon!)~ AS~" So our girls are coming back to the big screen, & in not 1 but perhaps 2(?) interesting band configurations (according to Tamar/Prince drummer Cora Coleman...see the P/Brit awards post for more info)... Hmmm methinks Mr. Nelson should have an opening act on the 3121 tour. All those in favor of "FunkSway" as the opening act (with a couple of great girls pulling Madhouse duty  ) Say AAAHHHOWWOAH! | |

love me some ?uestlove, Mike Elizondo, and Erykah Badu especially. Erykah looked so cool with holding her chin. I do missed 1997 and she was ruling that year with On and On and Tyrone. I especially missed that scarf she used to wear. And ?uestlove is funny and love him especially when he play for the Roots. And Mike is a badass bass player and I love hearing his influence.
can't wait to see the documentary. | |
