Series #105 PART 1 "BETTER THAN HOLLYWOOD" THE MASTER SESSIONS Of Marvin Bu Ga Lu Smith
Featuring The Great Ben Newsome and Master Lew Scott.

Sometimes "LESS IS MORE". Certainly by one's self we call it a solo but with two or more, we have a special
human interaction that takes place, especially when friends are joined in musical conversation. This is exactly what is happening here at The Talmadge Street Session in the private studios of Master Dr. Marvin Bu Ga Lu Smith, recently written about in the February 2011 issue of MODERN DRUMMER MAGAZINE and interviewed on both radio and television through Marbib Radio Television Network. Marvin has a special way about him of gathering people together and tuning in to THE EXACT MOMENT OF TRUTH and playing that truth on his instrument. I have said this before on trio or duo sessions of Marvin's but tonight is very special because of the music that was selected to be performed. Firstly, Ben Newsome and Lew Scott are two of my very favorite Sax and Bass players. I knew that Ben Newsome was special when I first heard him play a year and a half ago. Lew Scott and I worked in Hugh Brodie's Cosmic Ensemble and we recorded with Brodie on many of his CD's. I know Lew's playing well and his spirit, Ben Newsome's spirit and Marvin Bu Ga Lu Smith's spirit all blended together making this particular evening a TRIBUTE TO "THE GHOST" which is hopfully present in all of the most swinging Jazz and this session here represents some of the most ass-kickin, swingin, deep spiritual music I have heard in quite awhile. Yeah, Ben Newsome is an absolute MOT_ER _UC_ER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He throws down in the most unique sounding communicative way and his playing is LISTENER FRIENDLY and easy to understand. His tone is amazing and his listening ability to the other players is strong. Beautiful Love is a great great tune and I love the tone in Newsome's horn. The grooves throughout the evening were so,so cool. I loved all the expressiveness that existed between the players. GOOD BAIT, a song of Newsome's was also so very joyful and deep. I am over-joyed at all the sensitivity that existed. Record a me is also a nice tune and has a special feel to it giving the session much flavor and diversity. Body and Soul was, is and always will be one of the GREAT, GREAT BALLADS of our time and Newsome is so SOULFUL throughout.
We now come to HABIB'S FAVORITE ALL TIME PIECE OF MUSIC written by Benny Golson called:
WHISPER NOT. This is swinging before even playing the first note. WOW! THESE CATS ARE TAKING THIS SHIT TO THE MOON. IT'S OFF THE HOOK, WONDERFUL. IT DON'T GET MUCH BETTER THAN THIS. IT'S GOOSE BUMP CHILLIN. GROOVIN AS HARD AS A PIECE OF MUSIC CAN POSSIBLY SWING. Marvin, Ben and Lew have done it on this one, ALLOWING THE HOLY GHOST TO TAKE OVER. THE WORDS I WRITE CAN NEVER GIVE YOU WHAT THIS HEALING MUSIC CAN, SO LISTEN HARD, CLOSE YOUR EYES AND IMAGINE THAT YOU ARE NOW ON VACATION ON THE ISLAND OF "BU GA LU, NEWSOME and SCOTT". HAVE FUN and LOVE IT!
LOVE ALWAYS and ALWAYS LOVE,
