Saw these guys working as a trio in a small club in Santa Fe about 10 years ago as an opening act for Leon Russell and they blew me away.

I was way impressed, especially with what drummer Alan Evans could get out of his ever so spare drum kit.

I see in the live vid you posted that he's still playing with just a kick, a snare, a single tom and a couple of cymbals.

They came back to town the next year with a sax player and killed it again.

The world is a better place because cats like these are keepin' the B3 vibe alive.

Thanks for posting, tA.

My boy Toussaint used to sing with them. I'm not into this kind of thang but

I definitely dig the musicianship.

Love those cats.............

They've come a long way.

I went to see Alan's trio when they came here in August:

He's a real concise and to-the-point player.
Nothing fancy. Set the groove and drive it.

Around the time period you're referring to, the sax player was probably Sam Kiniger.

I dug that record (No Place Like Soul) and thought he was a good fit...

...Too bad it didn't work out long term.
