Kris Holmes's avatar View Kris Holmes's profile Favoriting

Twenty years of dusty fingers, frayed cuticles, & upper respiratory infections — from record digging and DJing around the globe — coalesces into a 2-hour journey through Rhythm & Blues, Soul, Funk, Jazz, Blues, Latin, Rock & Roll, and all points in between. Your speakers will be head-nodding, toe-tapping & even two-stepping to this vintage 45rpm party in no time. Hear favorite songs you didn't know were your favorites, aural treats & record-world problems from the vinyl side of life.

Going to throw in a Booker T 45 at the end for his bday today?

nah, well, maybe, Roy Haynes passed today so I might have to play some of him too

Crazy that Lou & Roy died so close together as they were two of the oldest living Jazz musicians. At least Marshall Allen seems to be going strong. Was just chatting with him a few weeks back. Doesn’t look like he’s 100.

He was leading The Arkestra at a tribute to John Gilmore. Marshall won’t get on planes any longer but he tries and plays gigs in the northeast if he’s feeling up to it as he lives in Philly.

Saw him perform with The Arkestra three times this year and sounded great at all three
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:20pm
Matt from New Orleans:

And at another gig that was Arkestra adjacent for his birthday and also in a trio so five Marshall Allen gigs this year.

Matt from New Orleans:

Had some friends in from Amsterdam and they had a great time digging at the WFMU record fair both days. I didn’t join them though I almost went Friday to watch Matt do his show live but didn’t feel like paying for entry so went to another gig before I went to see Ana DJ later on. She DJs as Coco Maria. Did Eilon Paz ever reach out to you about being in Dust & Grooves Kris?
Avatar 10:24pm
Kris Holmes:

I'm not sure where else you're gonna hear a DJ seamlessly blend two copies of a 63 year old Blue Note Jazz 45 into each other, but I just did.

He never reached out. Lots of my friends are in those books though. I don't think he ever came near Texas?

Headphones. No parade.

There's another one called Diggin Sound Collect which has taken the Dust & Grooves concept & also doing a book of the same thing. It's a epidemic of coffee table record books!!

Remember reading about it on Skeme’s website and forgetting about it until you mentioned it

I’ve seen those guys and they’re great. They’ve played a small club in NOLA called Chickie Wah Wah a few times.

it's been a while since i spent so much time with him, so it's nice to hear the progression into funkier territory from the late 60s.

Do you have Sassy Soul Strut? I like Lou’s version of the Sanford & Son theme.

I’d pick up the 45 if you run into it and it’s not too expensive but wouldn’t buy the album.
