Melvin Sparks (March 22, 1946 – March 15, 2011) Rest in Peace! Your soulful music lives on in all of us musicians that you inspired. A funkier guitarist never walked the earth!!
It takes a REALLY good drummist to go ahead & burn it up with a generic key bass over his solo. Carbone stretched it out nicely, fits right into that category of "pocket-rocket" players, pretty rare these days... Nothing against Orstrecher's keyboard playing, they'd just all be better off with a bassist who has the freedom to go with the flow, rather than stay locked into a basic groove. Nice jam, regardless. Sparks ain't no slouch, either. :)
