Garage a Trois – Heavy Hitting With Skerik

Joe Adler November 25, 2009 No Comments

Garage a Trois is a band which at first could be thought of as an all-star band of heavy hitters, but that would be a severe understatement. The band, which started as a trio consisting of saxophonist Skerik, guitar virtuoso Charlie Hunter, and drummer Stanton Moore, later adding vibraphonist Mike Dillon, has grown into a tightly structured, well oiled funk beast. Hunter is no longer part of the group, in that slot is one of the most in demand keyboard players around, Marco Benevento, who permanently joined the group in 2007.

Galactic – Goin’ House to Corner (INTERVIEW)

Chad Berndtson November 26, 2007 No Comments

The Galactic album that became From the Corner to the Block was originally going to be all-instrumental, and in its initial stages was a little loose on concept. That was two years ago, when the band found itself on tour with Bay Area emcee Lyrics Born as the opening act and nightly sit-in guest, and was really enjoying itself as it figured out the next direction.

Galactic: From the Corner to the Block

Eric Liebetrau September 7, 2007 No Comments

On From the Corner to the Block, the funksters take a definitive step forward by tackling hip-hop for the first time. Though the band’s sound has always worked well with guest hip-hop emcees—they’ve shared the stage with The Roots, Juvenile and Jurassic 5—this album fully embraces the tradition with collaborations from a veritable who’s-who list of hip-hop artists and turntablists: Juvenile, Lyrics Born, Mr. Lif, Boots Riley, Gift of Gab, Lateef the Truthspeaker, Ohmega Watts, Chali 2na, Ladybug Mecca and DJ Z-Trip.
