Last night I saw James Hunter perform at the intimate Dakota Jazz Club here in Minneapolis. I went with my son and a friend who is a member here at AS. Awesome show. He is much better in person and his live show reminded us of James Brown a bit. He and his band, keyboard player, 2 Sax's, bass player and drummer play with a lot of energy and fun.

For those of you who are not familiar with him, he plays a 50's and 60's style bluesy Rock n Roll. I will try and post a brief video and pic's tonight.

I saw him at a festival in California about eight years ago and was pretty blown away, bought his CD on the spot. I compared his voice to Sam Cooke at the time and he's a pretty decent guitarist. Really loved his sax players! Haven't listened to the CD for a while, need to correct that.
