Eric Leeds dates in MPLS Eric Leeds will be playing at The Dakota Club in MPLS on AUG 1st and 2nd.
See you there! 
blurb from Dakota Below: ERIC LEEDS / BRIAN LYNCH PROJECT Best known for his work in Prince's Revolution, saxophonist Eric Leeds goes far beyond jazz foundations, taking elements from hard rock and pop. Having been a key member of Prince side projects, The Family and Madhouse, Leeds has also shared the stage with James Brown and George Clinton. He also has a body of solo work that is bold and diverse, melding rock and pop elements with funk and Latin beats. Trumpeter Brian Lynch is one of the most respected bebop and Latin players in the business. Lynch got his start in New York with the Horace Silver Quintet, and also appeared in the final lineup of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. Currently he works with Eddie Palmieri's Afro-Caribbean Jazz group as well as producing a body of solo work that places him among the elite post-bop stylists of today. [Edited 7/10/08 21:05pm] | |

Eric Leeds is a damn talented musician but he's one of the primary guys who steered Prince away from his killer electro funk/rock style and sent him towards jazz fusion b.s. And we've got the Vegas-y horn fills to this very day. the music knows what your motives are when you are making it
listen to The Replacements - its good for the soul | |
