Blackberry Smoke. Thelonious Monk (p). Chris Dave (d)     - Embedded Youtube videos, again and again since April 2022 -     German

 

Blackberry Smoke (outstanding live sound & style, how they manage themselves, etc) *Thelonious Monk (p, 1917-82, modern jazz co-founder, important to Mhdb chords & changes, rhythmic trickiness) *, and Chris Dave (d, 'contemporary' jazz, fancy drumming) *: They have influenced Mhdb greatly in recent years. These influences are not copied or 'covered' by Mhdb, but processed or tested out and integrated into one of the existing 43 Mhdb songs or the Mhdb concept.

Blackberry Smoke, on the one hand: outstanding live sound & style. - On the other hand: Since March 2020, Mhdb have watched, for example, Blackberry Smoke, how this band has overcome the corona quarantine & crisis. After initial online band sessions and  occasional live-streamed performances without a live audience, Blackberry Smoke have probably offered live streaming since around November 2020. But at the same time, Blackberry Smoke have continued touring the USA and Canada probably under corona conditions (more generous than the quasi total cultural ban in Germany, but also risky of getting infected) *. However, B. S. have postponed their European tour (Munich, Cologne, Stuttgart, Wiesbaden, Berlin, etc) from February 2022 to March 2023. B. S. continue touring in the USA (low covid incidence for a long time).
