A Tribute Aretha Franklin

2007-03-26 | Live

Today's Live @Sweet Baisil was great!

This show was sold out.

Everybody enjoyed this 3hours of Aretha Franklin's amaging songs!

Brenda Vaughn was super and so was every singer (Yuri,Maru,Ikumi,Koshi,Gats).

The band was soulful and funky.

I played organ for almost every song.

This made me very happy, because Billy Preston and Donny Hathaway played organ on Aretha's original recordings.

Next month, I will produce my "Tribute To Billy Preston" show @ Blues Alley Japan.

I can feel the same happy feeling, playing organ and keyboard.

Please come and see us.

I will give you all the details soon.

 

By the way!!!

The "Pink Panther" has his own blog now !

He will go by his actual name, "Wiggy".

His homepage is named "Wiggy's Room".

Please visit Wiggy's Room and check out his adventures!

YOROSHIKUNE!

See you soon!

BO-NEN-KAI !!!!!

2006-12-30 | Live

Welcome to Philip Woo`s Bonenkai party! Wow,this place is packed! Every table was reserved,and people are ready to get down!






This young man could not help himself,he had to get up and dance for the room! Its "Soul Train" style! He was a good dancer,and everybody got his groove!






This has been a good year! I remember all of your faces,and can feel your support,when you come again and again to see my band! Thank You! Ureshii!






I got happy after having my "dinosaur imo jochu special" thanks to Cha Cha house staff! So now I think I wanna dance!






Im dancing(!) Actually,I was telling everybody about James Brown,and how my sister would pay me to dance the James Brown ("The Skate") dance for her girlfriends. So,Brenda persuaded me to show everybody. As a bonus,the audience decided to pay me,tooo! Just like when I was 7 years old! Ha,ha!
How was my dancing?






Brenda`s family sent a DVD from America,and for a surprise,we showed it to her as she was coming to the stage for the second set! Her eyes got wet,and she was so happy. Then the birthday cake came out,and we sang for Brenda. Happy Birthday Brenda!We all love you!






Guest singers Argie Phine-Martin and Robbie Danzie joined us onstage. Tokyo`s finest world-class singers.






Philip Woo is a world-class singer,too!(not)






What a great party we had! I`m so happy that all of you came. If you didnt,please come next time! Next year we will have another end-of-year party,so dont miss it. Me and the band really love the Cha Cha House and manager Yuko. I will play there next year,so come and see us!






My fan,(K)gave me a bottle of Imo-Jochu! Thank you K!! Me and the Pink Panther are going to have a New Years toast. Hey Pink Panther,how about a dinosaur size shochu rock,Cha Cha style with me?

Thank you everyone for a great year. Im always happy to bring music to you. Look out in the coming year for new and funky things to come!

Rainen mo yoroshiku ne!

Everybody Cha,Cha,Cha! What a great night at Cha Cha House. The house was packed,and the music was hot! Thank you to all of you for making this night Ultra-special!






Today,I sang! Im not a good singer,but I love to sing! Excuse me if Im not great,but with every member singing together with me,I feel safe!






Well,if Im going to sing,I must have a drink to make my body relax! The Cha Cha House staff made me a special "Dinosaur Imo Jyochu" drink,to help me sing better!






Two guitars is too cool! Satoshi Izumi came as a special guest,and made it double funky,with The Hank.This jam was a highlight of the evening!






Doesn`t it feel good,when the whole room is dancing? Well of course it does! All in all,tonight was a great success. The house was packed,and the music was hot! Everybody was happy,and me too! Please dont miss my end-of-year (bonenkai) party on December 30th. This is Brenda Vaughn`s birthday,and we will end the year in style!

What a day! I`ve been running since sunrise! Its time to sleep now...

See you tomorrow!

Mobius

2006-12-14 | Live

Tonight at Mobius was super funky,sexy,emotional,beautiful music,thanks to Ebony Fay. It was Hank`s first time to perform with Ebony,and he had a good time. Please look for future concerts with this team!






The Hank-i-nator! The Song Bank:Hank, Hankinsky, Hank You. What more can I say? A great guitarist,and a great friend!





I said before,that Mobius is a place that I feel most free to express myself. Playing just acoustic piano,I can lead the music anyplace,and find new things to play each time.
Ebony is a wonderful singer,and we will surely do more in the near future! Look out for a fresh groove!
