Lenny White Anomaly Tour Iridium NYC 08.15.10


Mood: Trippin' The Light Fantastic
Music: Lenny White "Forever" Anomaly CD


Oh Man...,

Sunday August 15th, went to Iridium in NYC 2 C Lenny White’s Band perform his new CD “Anomaly.” DEFINITELY not music for the faint of heart. I slightly bogarted my way in as I circumvented the line outside, spoke 2 the young guy handling the ticket booth, & ended up sitting damn near on the stage. My crew is STILL trying 2 figure out how I pulled that one off… Dumb Luck!!! Shhhhh!!!

Lenny was in rare form as the music & the venue sounded terrific… Two main guitar players, a special guest guitar player, keyboardist, bass player, & Lenny White on drums. His new CD is a “Must Have” for your collection if you do not have it… It’s Hella-Fied, Electrified, Rock Influenced, Futuristic Fusion Inspired Jazz!!! Ole Skool/New Skool Fusion Is Back!!! LOL!!!

Highlight of the night??? After copping my tee-shirt which I’m proudly wearing right now (the oh so vain 2nd picture)… Folks head up to the bar 2 get Lenny White 2 sign their CD’s & who’s sitting there chilling like he doesn’t have a care in the world???


The One & Only Legendary Bass Player Extraordinaire Mr. Stanley Clarke!!! I (politely) shoved a few people out the way & made sure I eased up 2 take their picture & shake this man’s hand…

1st fusion record I ever heard (cause I was a hardcore R&B, P-Funk kinda kid) was Stanley Clarke’s “School Days.” I actually stole…, a-hem (borrowed that vinyl record which is still in my collection 2day) & I’ve been HOOKED EVER SINCE!!! What A Wonderful Night In NYC!!! PEAAACCCCEEEEEEE!!!
