In other Prince news, The Roots are acting as the House Band for a concert titled The Music of Prince taking place at Carnegie Hall on March 7th. The tribute is part of an annual series of shows aimed to raise money for music education non-profits. Joining The Roots in the backing band will be Prince collaborators Eric Leeds, Wendy Melvoin, and Susannah Melvoin. The night will see Prince covers from the likes of Elvis Costello, Talib Kweli, Bilal, Booker T, and…..D’angelo! Tickets can be purchased at http://www.carnegieprince.com/ and the full performance lineup can be found below:

the Roots have a long running history with Lisa, Wendy the Family, the Revolution, so I would sorta expect a collaboration at an event like this

Since the list has been updated, it appears they took her name off and replaced it with 'Fdeluxe'. Maybe she'll be at the show as part of the audience.

I remember the time I took my parents to a Prince concert... My folks were like "Why are they calling you Nu??"

when Fdelux, notified us they would be on the register, they said Susannah already had a pre engagement with the show

From what I understand Susannah Wendy & Eric will be a part of the Roots band/performing with the Roots.

Joining The Roots in the backing band will be Prince collaborators Eric Leeds, Wendy Melvoin, and Susannah Melvoin.

So hopefully that's what is happening, unless they restructured and are going to be performing with FDeluxe

I hope so. No dis on those who are going to be there, but there is a special kind of magic that Wendy brings to Prince's songs. There is a lot of emotion there that becomes quite evident within the very first notes she plays.

That was the 'old' advertisement;it's been changed to include 'FDeluxe' minus Jellybean. The artists I want to see perform are D'Angelo, Alice Smith, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Maya Rudolph. The others I'm not that familliar with, but would like to hear what Amos Lee is all about. I checked out some of his muisc. Seems to be ok.

I can put up with seeing FDeluxe, only because Eric Leeds is in the group.

Yes I saw that advertisement some time ago, but when I saw their tix map, it was just about sold out already. The special guests could be some of the artists performing at the tribute show the next day. So far it is sold out at the moment.

I think perhaps it is a special kind of magic that you, the listener, bring to Wendy's playing.

Whether I bring it or she brings it, point is her presence is what counts.
