Hi ya'll

I have a Prince performance video. It's from Rave Un2 period, and I don't know two members of the band.

The musicians I know are:

Kirk J. on drums
Larry G. on bass
Mr. Hayes on keys
3 hornz (trumpet, trombone, and sax)(I don't know their names either, but I'm not very interested).

The 2 unknown members

a girl on percussion and vocals (same percusssion set Sheila plays, but the difference is huge).
a black man who sings very very very well and plays keys.

Any information?

(By the way, the last NPG is thousand times better)

Another clue.

The girl had short hair, and she sang very bad. On percussion Sheila is very much better.

I guess the names you are looking for are
Kip Blackshire
Estelle ...

Estelle has been touring with George Benson for
a couple of years now. That`s when i saw her perform.
Actually i liked her singing better than her percussion playing.
Kip Blackshire is a cool dude. I had the opportunity
to hear him sing a couple of songs in the early hours of the morning. Morris Hayes was playing the piano.
That was just beautiful.

Probably, Thank you very much. I'm sorry, but in the video I have, there are 5 songs, Estelle (if it's her) sang in the last song and her voice sounds horrible to me.

Dude, i never said she`s a good singer...

TonyWilliams said:

Yes, you're right. So I come to the conclusion she sings bad, she plays percussion worst.

There you go.

Estaire Godinez. Talented percusionist/vocalist. Check out here live CD. Live From The Dakota. Eric Leeds and Stokely Williams from Mint Condition are in her band.

Ah, okay. Estaire, not Estelle. Thank you Joe.

Damn i forgot her name, but Miles Davis had a
percussion player in his band, sometime in the early
eighties. Now THAT woman was really really good.


Got it : Marylyn Mazur.

btw...


Horns = Kathy Jensen: sax, Dave Jensen (husband): trumpet, and Mike Nelson (no relation ): trombone
