okay. I'm not the sharpest tack on the org, but I am loving Eric Roberson.
http://www.ericrobersonmusic.com/ His album is the next CD I'm putting my money in.
I'm thinking: Musiq Soulchild to the 'N'th power, all the way. And I guess I'd be accurate since his name is all over the credits for Musiq's albums.

a couple of notes from his bio:

His first song for another artist was "So Long" by Warner Bros. group Phajja. Soon, he began landing many other projects, including songs for 112 (Room 112 - 1998;) Wild Wild West Soundtrack (1999;) Will Downing (All The Man You Need - 2000;) Case (Open Letter - 2001;) Musiq Soulchild (Aijuswanaseing - 2000 and Juslisen - 2002;) and Vivian Green (A Love Story - 2002.) Eric also penned and performed "I Have A Song," for the film Prison Song (BET, 2001;) "One Time," a duet with Jill Scott from the Down To Earth Soundtrack and her double CD Experience: Jill Scott (826+) (2001;) and "Rock Wit You" from the 2002 DJ Jazzy Jeff compilation CD, The Magnificent. Eric is also one of a select few core writers to contribute to releases from Jazzy Jeff's A Touch Of Jazz production company, and has sung background vocals on tours for Kenny Lattimore and Malik Pendleton.

shoot, i need 2 get paid for promotin' these artists...
okayplayer? What're your thoughts? I know you have sumpthin' to say.....

Well he just made a sale with me. I hadn't heard anything of his beside the collabos with Jill Scott and Larry Gold. Hearing those snippets on his site has convinced me to buy.

Who else performed at FunkJazz this time? I planned on going, but then couldn't make it . . .

Talib K., Eric R., Algebra, and a couple of guys who were on the 'street performer' level.

i went and bought his new CD "The Vault- Vol. 1.5"
I'm one happy camper!

Cool, glad yall know about www.funkjazzkafe.com I missed this one Did you catch Van Hunt on FunkJazzRadio www.wclk.com ? I thought for sure he would perform.

no i didn't hear him. I haven't listened to radio lately, since I copped VH's CD.
Now I'm listening to ER http://www.prince.org/msg/8/85960 I'll listen to radio when I get tired of my CDs again.
