ROY GAINES & his TUXEDO Orchestra Aug 22 2011

ROY GAINES & his TUXEDO orchestra
at Cadillac Zack's Monday Blues Party & Jam at the Sugar Mill Saloon in Tarzana, CA. August 22, 2011

I feel sorry for you. You will watch, immediately be captivated under the charm of Grandmaster ROY GAINES, and have to live with the regret that you missed the most fabulous concert of the year. CZ sent you emails w/ a gorgeous poster, he even offered to find you a ride. Watching this little snippet is gonna hurt, you will kick yourself for not being one of the ~170 Blues fanatics who shared this voyage into the interstellar genius that is ROY GAINES & his TUXEDO Orchestra...

I am so touched by Roy's kindness, he generously granted permission for me to upload & share this with you. I love this man, & have the ultimate highest respect for him musically. Wish I filmed the part when he played guitar behind his head.
Maybe if we all scream & cry, we can get Cadillac Zack to bring him back again.
I'm still screamin' & stompin' for more, ROY GAINES & his TUXEDO Orchestra takes me to a whole 'nother world, a world of beauty grace & charm, moves me like no other. His L5 & Twin sing an elevated Bluesy/Jazzy style, chords beyond imagination, swing that can be traced to when he was a contemporary of Duke Ellington. I never heard anything like it before, it was like peeking over a wall to get a glimpse of heaven. ROY GAINES is the master, and none of us can touch him.
Thank you, again, Roy, for permission to post. You are a gentleman, and I love you.
