Oteil Burbridge of The Allman Brothers Band talks about his time with Aquarium Rescue Unit and how Colonel Bruce Hampton taught him how to listen to a person's story and how to bridge the gap between talent and individuality.
When I worked with Ike Turner, going into rehearsal was "leave you skin at the door" and we ere the seething mass that stood before Ike, who sat there in his chair with a figurative "bag of salt" and would whip your ass into shape and MAKE you play what he was "FEELING".
And in a parallel existence, I had a dream that one night, in a small southern town like that which I was raised in (Jackson, MS).... I played a gig with ARU circa 1993. If time is an orbit and the crux of the meaning is now.
