Formed in 2003, Dumpstaphunk Was Initially Assembled by Keyboardist Ivan Neville on a Whim to Perform a Solo Slot at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival Formed in 2003, Dumpstaphunk was initially assembled by keyboardist Ivan Neville on a whim to perform a solo slot at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Ivan immediately selected the unique double-bass attack of both Nick Daniels and Tony Hall on bass, handpicked rock solid local legend Raymond Weber to man the skins, and enlisted his own bloodlines for the scorching guitar rhythms of fledgling up n' comer, and younger cousin, Ian Neville, to round out a line-up of some of the Crescent City's finest and funkiest musical cohorts! Dumpstaphunk's informal performance became that of immediate legend. The project has since grown from chance side- project into what is now widely considered to be one of New Orleans' most popular and modern musical exports. With a direct lineage to The Meters and The Neville Brothers, Dumpstaphunk is a recipe for creating a new standard for an entire genre. “Dumpstaphunk’s groove is a unique monster. It's not the minimalist funk of the Meters and it’s not the relentless funk of James Brown, although it has that rhythmic drive. It's not the psychedelic, over-the-top circus of Parliament-Funkadelic, but it often has that political slant. It's not the party funk of the Ohio Players, but it shares the high vocals that take the pressure off the bottom. Dumpstaphunk is a whole other school of funk. If you're under 35, you think you've seen funk, but you haven't. You missed the original Meters, James Brown when he wasn't a parody, Parliament- Funkadelic’s landing of the “Mothership” , Sly and the Family Stone before he went M.I.A and Booker T. and the M.G.s before the demise of Stax. Dumpstaphunk is as good as all that, and they're in their prime now.” – Gambit Weekly Dumpstaphunk was awarded "New Orleans Best Funk Band" by Offbeat Magazine and Gambit Weekly in 2007 and 2009, and most recently the trophy for Best Funk Award at the 2010 Big Easy Awards. Not uncommon to the festival circuit, Dumpstaphunk has unleashed notable performances at some of the nation's largest music extravaganzas, including Bonnaroo, VoodooFest, 10,000 Lakes, New Orleans Jazzfest, Bear Creek, Wanee, High Sierra, and Gathering of the Vibes. Dumpstaphunk's musicians have shared the stage with many legendary figures.... Ivan and Ian‚ the sons of Neville Bros. Aaron and Art Neville respectively‚ seem to play their instruments flawlessly... and the dirty funk resonates organically from their souls as the offspring and kin of the legendary New Orleans Neville Bros family! A conservative sample of the impressive list of bands Ivan has either recorded or performed with includes The Rolling Stones‚ Bonnie Raitt‚ The Neville Bros, Gov't Mule‚ John Mayer, and Keith Richards & The X-pensive Winos to name a few. With a resume like that, it comes as no surprise that Trey Anastasio and Dave Matthews have both, in the past, tapped bassist extraordinaire Tony Hall for their own side projects, and drummer Raymond Weber who also played with Trey, originally cut his chops with The Dirty Dozen Brass Band and the Wild Magnolia Mardi Gras Indians, and has also sat behind the kit for Harry Connick Jr. and Joe Sample. Nick Daniels, who supplements the bottom as one of 2 bass players in Dumpsta boasts an impressive list of colleagues including Etta James and Boz Scaggs, and Ian has played with the likes of Funky Meters, Lettuce, his new outfit Dr. Klaw with Eric Krasno, and more recently sitting in and adding some flavor to the stoner fusion of Southern Cali jam stalwarts Slightly Stoopid! It's no wonder these boys can put the Phunk in your Dumpsta, and moving forward in 2011, they continue to push the envelope of the form of a progressive funk sound that has arguably become the most defining in the modern genre of New Orleans music. With their latest release “Everbody Want Sum” starting to permeate with the single “Oughta Know Better” (co-penned by Allman Brothers / Govt. Mule Warren Haynes), featured performances at Offbeat Magazines Best of The Beat 2011, and a coveted mainstage slot at Jazzfest this year, Dumpstaphunk now stands on its own, as the legitimate torchbearer of all things funky both in The Big easy and beyond……… Who Dat!!!! "Dumpstaphunk is the best funk band from New Orleans right now.” - The New York Times "Dumpstaphunk is ready to usher in a new age of funk to the masses." – Jambase.com "Ivan's so good...I play with him.” - Keith Richards .

  • Love, Oh Love, Oh Careless Love
    Love, Oh Love, Oh Careless Love Careless Love is perhaps the most enduring of traditional folk songs. Of obscure origins, the song’s message is that “careless love” could care less who it hurts in the process. Although the lyrics have changed from version to version, the words usually speak of the pain and heartbreak brought on by love that can take one totally by surprise. And then things go terribly wrong. In many instances, the song’s narrator threatens to kill his or her errant lover. “Love is messy like a po-boy – leaving you drippin’ in debris.” Now, this concept of love is not the sentiment of this author, but, for some, love does not always go right. Countless artists have recorded Careless Love. Rare photo of “Buddy” Bolden Lonnie Johnson New Orleans cornetist and early jazz icon Charles Joseph “Buddy” Bolden played this song and made it one of the best known pieces in his band’s repertory in the early 1900s, and it has remained both a jazz standard and blues standard. In fact, it’s a folk, blues, country and jazz song all rolled into one. Bessie Smith, the Empress of the Blues, cut an extraordinary recording of the song in 1925. Lonnie Johnson of New Orleans recorded it in 1928. It is Pete Seeger’s favorite folk song. Careless Love has been recorded by Louis Armstrong, Ray Charles, Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash. Fats Domino recorded his version in 1951. Crescent City jazz clarinetist George Lewis (born Joseph Louis Francois Zenon, 1900 – 1968) played it, as did other New Orleans performers, such as Dr.

  • Neville Brothers -- the first Family of New Orleans Music -- Has Vowed Not to Return to New Orleans
    Dec. 15, 2005-- Cyril Neville boarded Amtrak's City of New Orleans train with a full head of steam. He joined singer-songwriter Arlo Guthrie earlier this month for the first leg of a 12-day journey from Chicago to New Orleans, playing concerts along the way to raise funds for victims of Hurricane Katrina. Neville, however, won't be on the train when it rolls into his old hometown. He won't be going home at all. Neville, 56, percussionist-vocalist and youngest member of the Neville Brothers -- the first family of New Orleans music -- has vowed not to return to New Orleans. During a heartfelt conversation before embarking on the train journey, Neville explained he and his wife, Gaynielle, have bought a home in Austin, Texas. Cyril Neville joins his nephew Ivan Neville, as well as the Radiators and the Iguanas as popular New Orleans acts who have settled in Austin. Some even perform in an ad hoc band known as the Texiles. They sing a different song about the promised recovery of New Orleans. "Would I go back to live?" Neville asked. "There's nothing there. And the situation for musicians was a joke. People thought there was a New Orleans music scene -- there wasn't. You worked two times a year: Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest. The only musicians I knew who made a living playing music in New Orleans were Kermit Ruffins and Pete Fountain. Everyone else had to have a day job or go on tour. I have worked more in two months in Austin than I worked in two years in New Orleans.

  • 2)GEORGE PORTER Jr Di Massimo Luna.Pdf
    Introduzione: Ci troviamo a 1Vew Orleans tra gli anni 60' e 70'. Un periodo particolarmente fertile e creativo, che favorì la nascita della musica R & B e Funk. E' la New Orleans delle band che nascono dalla strada, dei musicisti che imparano a suonare da qualcuno che sa suonare meglio di loro, conle una sorta di tradizione orale, di insegnamento non scritto e del tutto legato all'esperienza diretta. La sera si va nei locali, si suona, si fanno Jam Sessions, è cosi che nascono le nuove formazioni, i nuovi gruppi. Questa è la realtà in cui vive George Porter Jr.. Lui stesso in un' intervista racconta quanto sia stato importante, anche a livello umano, crescere in quell'ambiente. Tra le esperienze più sigriificative per George c'è sicuramente quella con "the Meters", definil:i una delle più grandi band rock-fusion degli anni 701,con all'attivo 11 dischi in 15 anni circa di attività. Loro sono stati la prima jam band della storia, come dichiara lo stesso George. Andavano sul palco e suonavano partendo da qualcosa di stabilito, per poi virare verso il riff o il carribio che qualche membro del gruppo aveva proposto sul momento.. .un perfetto esempio di interplay! I loro brani presentavano spesso delle parti "open", con dei pedali e con qualche solo di organo. Ai nostri giorni è usuale che rapper ed esponenti della musica hip hop, usino alcuni loro brani come basi per rappare sopra, vista la forte spinta ritmica da cui sono caratterizzati. Biografia: George Porter Jr. nasce nel 1947 a New Orleans Louisiana.

  • Neville/ Jacobs Bio
    Neville/ Jacobs Bio Long: Ivan Neville of New Orleans’ first family of funk and Cris Jacobs, the soulful Baltimore-bred bandleader and songwriter, have joined forces to collaborate on their first full length, self-titled, nine song album. th Neville Jacobs will release their debut on September 28 ​ via Harmonized Records. ​ This unlikely duo came together in the most unlikely of ways. One day during the great celebration and intermingling of music and culture known as New Orleans Jazz Fest, Ivan Neville and Cris Jacobs found themselves killing time between gigs, seated next to each other at a poker table. As Jacobs tells it, “I was killing some time one day during my first ever Jazzfest and I sat down to play some poker in Harrah's casino. Coincidentally, there was an empty seat next to me and in walked Ivan and sat down. We recognized each other from having crossed paths with our bands, Dumpstaphunk and The Bridge, but had never really met. We played poker for a few hours and chatted a bunch and left with a casual ‘let's make some music together sometime’ agreement.” About a year and a half later, when the stars finally aligned (with the help of mutual friend, Joe Michaels), Jacobs and Neville got together for a few songwriting sessions in Baltimore. “In our initial writing sessions in Baltimore, we each had a few songs and snippets of songs in our back pocket and we took a bunch of time to just start from scratch with Ivan at a piano and me sitting next to him with a guitar.
