SCI @ Horning’s Hideout, July 31
There is always a unique feeling in the air at Horning’s Hideout on Saturday night. It is almost like there is this collective giddiness to what is about to transpire, and everyone has a little extra skip to their step and a little extra umph to their already enormous smiles. There was still a ton of music to see before the nighttime extravaganza, and I for one was not going to let the anticipation of nighttime fun stand in the way of enjoying the day.
Once I got my needed cup or eight of coffee, and stepped away from the laptop I bee-lined it to Col. Bruce Hampton’s Outstructional Workshop. He was playing with his guitarist and bassist, and it was a casual and thought provoking good time. It was great seeing him in this relaxed format, and his smooth, soulful singing was a heck of a way to start my day. From there I headed to the Everyone Orchestra, which had a packed stage of 14 musicians all bringing their own unique style to the collective mix.
It occurred to me that with any form of music, practice leads to steady improvement, and I have to say that Matt Butler’s performance as the conductor of this ensemble showed his own growth through the years. It must be a challenge to be able to organize and inspire musicians that don’t often play together on the fly, and Matt did an excellent job. They offered a great version of David Bowie’s Fame and really were tight for a group that doesn’t get to practice and play together as a band.

Without any overtly topical songs within these eleven tracks, Los Lobos manage to capture the precarious tenor of our times and their cover of the Grateful Dead’s “West LA Fadeway” is particularly resonant in that regard. Like the iconic San Francisco institution, his band from East LA offers respite that’s as self-renewing as their own creativity and the music that arises from it.
