Lance Brown Group at the Univ. of Chicago

[carvetop01]

Lance,

OK. I was hooked as soon as I saw the upright Bass. The Reed player has some serious Kung Fu. How many instruments does he play? You guys seem pretty tight.

Lance this is good foot taping music. I like this very much. If I was running sound I would have brought the guitar a bit more forward. The Bass comes through great. Very tasteful drummer. You are truly a renaissance man.

Well done Sir,

allen

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks Allen - No mixing to be done. The mike was just the one on the camera. Yes, Mike on reeds is a bear. Thanks for giving a listen.

[JJFRASERJJ]

[TheLowLifeGang]

Md

[archtopbrownie]

MD - Honored that you consider me one of the LLG. Glad you like my stuff. Thanks for taking the time to give me your support and keep up your own unique brand of song writing. You are good my friend. Very good.

[JimmyFightingBack]

I can't even buy beer, lol.

[JimmyFightingBack]

Lance, you should have a trombone player. And I should be your trombone player.

Regardless of the untromboness of this video, it's awesome. I love this whole thing.

[archtopbrownie]

Yea, I could see a horn section. Adding a new member has strict requirements. Will you bring beer?

[Jazzguts]

What a cool and sweet band and you guys have soo much fun with this Music and the most important thing,the band swings like hell, great, Greets Vic.

[archtopbrownie]

I see you got this a month or so ago. Thanks for commenting again. There are a whole bunch on my new list who didn't get it so... there you go. Orpheu Negro and Killing Me Softly are still coming along. Haven't tackled Little Wing yet. It looks easier.

[conkling]

Little Italy never sounded soooo good,...yeah!

[archtopbrownie]

I appreciate that Ross and my wife who works at U of C and is Italian appreciates it too.

[llamov]

Nice stuff, Lance. You guys sound great, especially your vocals.

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks Larry. That's my first comment on that subject. It's fun singing with a group like this. Take care.

[JAWdawn]

Great show! Get down(and try to get back up again!).Super fun and style...*****

[archtopbrownie]

That getting up again is getting harder these days Tom. Thanks.

[strat2caster]

man i love this stuff, sweet ! howve ya been Lance? *****

[archtopbrownie]

Glad you like it Strat. Nice to hear from you. I'm healthy, happy and, as always, struggling to make the internet go "ca-ching." That's a real challenge. Thanks for asking and thanks for the reconnect.

[daviemcf]

Lance,what a great video to come back with,these students don't know what real music is.Good luck with the album,I hope it's a success!! 5*

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks Davie, you are a pal. Getting a listening audience is tough these days. If you have a day job don't give it up to do music. You will spend more time scratching for a living and less time playing if you do. I do this because it is fun. Thanks again my friend.

[puppetpatti]

Yea!!!! Oh so good to hear you guys again! Loved it...Takecare!

[archtopbrownie]

And nice to connect up with you again PP. Thanks for dropping by.

[dmio2]

awesome band. Its nice to hear folks who really know how to play. 5*

[archtopbrownie]

Going out tonight to do a session in a local club. Friends dropping in to sit in. It doesn't get any better than getting to play with these guys. I'm in over my head sometimes but it's worth it just to go along for the ride. Thanks for the comment.

[dmio2]

You're a great player, Lance. I'm sure you fit right in. But I admit I would be intimidated by that clarinet player. Its not easy to make one of those damn things sound good.

[peacejustme]

Great job!! 55**

[EdMuirton]

Sounding mighty fine! Cheers Lance!

[archtopbrownie]

Hey Ed. Thanks.

[grandplans]

[archtopbrownie]

Hey thanks Miker. Come tell them that in Chicago. We need more gigs :o)

[ResearchX]

You guys are truly amazing. How lucky can those University students be. 5* for sure.

[archtopbrownie]

Hah! They didn't act like they felt lucky. We did get a couple of people dancing. But most sat on the grass far away enough to talk. Hmmmmm. Oh well.

[Dianasme]

WOW y'all are magnificant.

[archtopbrownie]

:o)

[simplydaft]

Swingin'!  :)

[dionsansoucie]

[Qpidon]

Thats what I call a come back with style...

Kudos, Archie!

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks Pascal. Love your music and a compliment from you is taken to heart. Best to you.

[Bflatblues55]

Wowzer to the max! Not to take away from any of the others, but dude on the sax/clarinet can TOOT !

Loved this tons... really hot stuff. Thanks so much for sharing and BEST to you all with the CD!

Keep us informed.

[archtopbrownie]

Mike is a monster. Check him out on the other videos on my site. I've played with him for over 20 years.... in fact this is true of all the other guys as well.

[yardlizard]

Sweet and Tasty Sampler of the Lance Brown Groove - Yummy. Thanks for sharing, Lance...

[archtopbrownie]

May get some more video this Tuesday. Thanks.

:o)

[Jazzguts]

Now that's swinging like hell, great playing together Amigo's,wasn't there no public in front swinging their asses off. Don't tell me all those students are only intellectuals who have no sense off swing. The sound sounds great in the open air(probably mixed later?) Your voice reminds of good old Louis A.. Welcome back Lance this is a great come-back man,greets Vic.

[archtopbrownie]

You nailed it Victor... University of Chicago students have a hole in their soul. They were walking all around talking like the ones you saw go behind the horn player. As to the mix, no that's just raw into the camera. Thanks so much for the support and interest in my work. Because of the state of live music I can't make my living at it but hardly anyone can. It has to be for fun... and as you can see, we do have fun. Mike, the virtuoso on horn, is the only full-time jobber. Ciao for Now!

[Anyu7378]

You guys are very talented. Love that raspy voice! Peace, Andrea.

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks Andrea.

[fingercheese]

Wonderful Music....espesially like the Dylan tune...your version rocks and swings...

[archtopbrownie]

Put a song like Watchtower into these guys hands and it comes out good. I'm just along for the ride. Thanks.

[jazzifarian70]

Great video, archtopbrownie. Just a swingin.

Thanks, excellent group.
