I slept through The New Mastersounds on Sat night. So, I’m extra happy I was able to get to Will Bernard & Friends on Sun. It was great, grooving music. Josh Roseman added a lot. Cochemea was also there, laying down some great funkiness. There were 6 musicians all together and I don’t know why more people don’t dance. I noticed some of them wanted to, it’s just hard for people to get going sometimes. I of course was dancing the whole time. I really, really like that place. I hear it’s quite different on the other nights, but the live funk takes over on Sundays.
Another bass player, upright, showed up around 11:30. He was excellent. I really enjoyed the electric bass as well. The laptop added to it for the most part. Will we be doing this the rest of the Sundays in March and I do recommend capping off the weekend with this.
It's only $5, although I do have to remind them to collect the cover from me. I found out the owner pays the band, and has the cover as a way to get a little of that back. I had to go at around 11:45, but they were still going strong when I left.
