I'm currently at the South Jersey shore & noticed Melvin Seals & JGB was playing last night at the Tropicana in Atlantic City, 10 minutes away. I went to see if I could get a cheap ticket & ended up with a miracle! At first, it felt more like an AARP convention than a Jerry cover show, but once the music started, the heads got up and seriously boogied down. Fun night! The sound was absolutely fantastic & the venue was only 3/5 full so lots of room to move around & dance. #MelvinSeals

Daily #SteveKimock. Just a short clip, but a great one. Burning through the solo section of Africa (no, not the Toto one). This was the short-lived #CrazyEngine project with #MelvinSeals, #TrevorExner, and #JohnKimock. Gotta love that vintage #FenderMustang.

Daily #SteveKimock. Some high life style #improvisation on a #Fender #Mustang with his #CrazyEngine project. His son #JohnKimock on drums, #TrevorExner on bass, and #MelvinSeals on keys.

I find the sheer flow and abandon in this section to be absolutely awe-inspiring. But I also know about the staggering amount of focused and disciplined practice it took to be able to do this. Decades of grueling work on the fundamentals.
