WHAT AN INCREDIBLE SOUND
We are still buzzed by the incredible Paul Simon
concert at the Santa Barbara Bowl. I know
Phil Spector created the so called "wall of sound" but
Simon's touring band creates a wall that wraps around you
and then boogies its way into your spine.
The playbill did not list the players and Paul's
introduction came at the end of the third encore and I didn't get the names. Music News Net to the rescue-
His touring band for the run includes Cameroonian guitarist Vincent Nguini, pianist Mick Rossi, drummer Jim Oblon, saxophonist & keyboardist Andrew Snitzer, bassist Bakithi Kumalo, guitarist Mark Stewart, master percussionist Jamey Haddad and multi-instrumentalist Tony Cedras.
