Little Feat has always been a band in flux, which remains true today. Even while celebrating the 50th anniversary of their fourth LP, Feats Don’t Fail Me Now, the band’s current iteration is moving forward with Sam’s Place, their first studio release in a dozen years and first all-blues set. There have been a few changes since that last one, Rooster Rag. Most significantly, Paul Barrere, a key member since the early ‘70s, passed away in 2019. His seat has since been filled by guitarist and vocalist Scott Sharrard, and there’s a new drummer since that last effort as well, Tony Leone. Filling out the band are keyboardist Bill Payne, a co-founder of Little Feat, bassist Kenny Gradney and percussionist/ vocalist Sam Clayton—both of whom joined in the early ‘70s—and guitarist/ vocalist Fred Tackett, who signed on in the late ‘80s after the band took a long hiatus following the death of founder Lowell George. For Sam’s Place, it is, appropriately, Clayton who serves as frontman, belting out all shades of the blues—from raging electric boogie-rock to the more toned-down “Long Distance Love,” featuring a guest vocal from Bonnie Raitt and one of a few Muddy Waters classics covered in the set. Willie Dixon also figures prominently in the track list, with three songs emanating from his pen, including “Mellow Down Easy,” which some fans may know from the Paul Butterfield Blues Band version. The album’s sole original, “Milkman,” written by Clayton, Tackett and Sharrard, gets the ball rolling, and things wrap up with a live, sweat[1]inducing take on the blues anthem “I’ve Got My Mojo Working.” Some of the names may have changed but rest assured, Sam’s Place is as much a Little Feat session as those long-ago recordings that are now into their golden years.

From June 24-26, Ozomatli stopped by New York’s Blue Note Jazz Club for three performances in the final week of the sprawling citywide Blue Note Jazz Festival. In its performances, the LA-bred sextet showcased its incomparable blend of styles, touching on notes from such diverse influences as salsa, funk, cumbia, hip-hop and hard bop in a thrilling set teeming with the group’s signature passion, energy and experimentalism. While these shows arrived as some of the final performances in the Blue Note Jazz Festival–which will come to a close with sets from Chief Adjuah, Brass Queens, Harlem Gospel Choir and Joey Alexander through the weekend–they mark only the outset for Ozomatli’s summer tour. After taking the stage at The State Theater in Falls Church, Va. tonight, the group will plot 14 further performances through the end of August, including sets at high-profile festivals such as The Capitol Groove, Mammoth Festival of Beers and Bluesapalooza, Santa Cruz Mountain Sol Festival and Four Corners Folk Festival.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.
