cliff 1066 [TM] cc, see link
Tonight, Steve's jammin at UNCLE SAMs in Spanaway, WA. Address 16003 Pacific Ave. Starts @ 7 pm.
So, BARTLETT's working up some tunes that maybe called off tonight...mainly some JAMES BROWN and DUKE ELLINGTON. Never know what'll happen at the jam on Monday Nights, anything from Jazz to Funk, to Rock, to Country, etc....all levels, all styles....All are welcome...bring your axe and join the fun.
Anyway, I 'll post some video links below, as well as some cool stuff about James Brown from one of my earlier stories about him. O.K?Here goes.....Jan
Every week there seems to be different folks at the jam....Here's who is gonna be there....KEVIN CHRISTENSEN/drums, DENNY FOREMAN/guitar, STEVE BARTLETT ON BASS, as far as I know....there's a cool SAX guy named JOE, BOB/drummer, KEVIN/another drummer...some guitar people, harp guy,  singers too.
Let me post some Duke Ellington here...

3.] GOING FISHING, by Duke Ellington, done by Doctor John, by im4out again
===========================
From my story on December 19, 2013...about JAMES BROWN...
'Each morning, as we drink our coffee, Steve reads to me...and we both learn about something new, usually about music or things of the spirit...it's another special time together, along with our rehearsing tunes ... getting Steve ready for gigs.
This morning, BARTLETT picked up 'The Music Lesson' a book by VICTOR WOOTEN/bass and HERE. He's one of our favorite bass guys. Steve recomends this book to all his students and we both really enjoy it too. Steve BARTLETT ON BASS started reading to me on the bottom of page 105, [just in case you want to look this up too.] AND, I will look for some more info. online 'cause this is very interesting to me.....Did you know, that after Rev. Dr. MARTIN LUTHER KING jr.'s assination in 1968, PRESIDENT JOHNSON and other government officals called upon the king of soul JAMES BROWN to help stop and to prevent spreading black rioting in Boston and across the whole country? After that, James Brown said that he was considered " the most dangerous man in the world" by the government because...'cause if he could stop a riot, he could start one...just as easily...WOW.,.. and the government kept files on many musicians, like BOB MARLEY and HEREJIM MORRISONELVIS PRESLEY and HERE just because of their influence on the folks in this country.
O.K....I founds some more info. about James Brown and his ability to influence  and calm folks back in 1968, after King's assination on YOUTUBE. One is called 'The Night James Brown Saved Boston' from jackhogan1 . This is all the page says: " Uploaded on Nov 24, 2008"     I'll post more video links below. O.K? Jan

"Wild Women Don't Get the Blues"...Oh Yea They Do

photo and this flyer by me.. J.A.Rose-Bartlett cc 2010
Well, look what I found this afternoon....it's 'Wild Woman Don't Get the Blues'written by Ida Cox, sung by FRANCINE REED and HERE.. Looks like Ms Reed was  in Seattle a few months ago....go HERE for more.....WOW..would have loved to have been there. Jan
 Well, the tune brought back memories to me, [Jan again] like music often does. I remember when Steve did this tune with CARA CLARKE-POWERS, when he was in the band called 'BE HEAR'...remember? Here's more info....IDA COX was an awesome black blues singer that reached her peak in the 1920s, performing in extraganza stage shows in the1920s and 30s. Her audience were mostly Southern ladies, that loved her wit and urban blues style, making her very successful and popular. She was born in Georgia in 1896 and died in 1967 in Tennessee. and, as I was saying earlier, I first heard of IDA COX, when my STEVE BARTLETT ON BASS played in the band BE HEAR, which featured the amazing CARA CLARKE-POWERS doing the blues vocals. STEFAN ABUAN was the guitarist, KEVIN CHRISTENSEN joined later on drums. Cara kindly asked me to join this band, and I happily played the computer keyboard for awhile. SMILE.....until I realized, it was really a lot of hard work, took a lot of my time AND I was expected to do it all for FREE, not like the other band members, who all got paid plus food/drinks etc. at all the gigs. I sadly quit in a big huff [when I  'woke up' watching the rest of the band with food and drink after a show...and,.I was hungry and thinking of eating a stranger's cold half eatened spell? plate of food..never understood why I didn't just ask for a plate, but...didn't.  DARN IT Anyway. Had to ask myself 'How unworthy can I get?], I  sure do miss Cara, we had become great friends. She is not in the area any more as far as I know. Love you Cara Clarke, go hear her if you have a chance, she's awesome ...you'll enjoy yourself.. Her family's in Chicago...perhaps she's over there. :-[ I know, I know Cara....'Wild Woman Don't Get The Blues...do we Cara? ...Miss you.' Jan] Cara sang 'Wild Woman Don't Get The Blues' by IDA COX  sung here by Reed. Jan

Powerful Jam....And, the Winners Are?

Foreman, Christensen and Bartlett, by J.A.Rose-Bartlett cc
Powerful Jam...Winners...Who'Who? Cool jam last night at UNCLE SAMs in Spanaway, and I was there to see it all happen. Lucky me. First off, where's UNCLE SAMs you ask? Address 16003 Pacific Ave....in Spanaway, of course. Highlights: JOSEPH PLEMMONS helped out DENNY FOREMAN on guitar and was great, even while he was under the weather, and had to leave the stage a few times..what a trooper...thanks Joe. A sax guy named 'little Joe' came in, played his horn beautifully and got us all in the Christmas spirit with his 'saxy' tunes. Plemmons' bass guy, ERIC, from 'Strange Pleasure' came in and played some bass while my Steve had fun on the guitar, letting Plemmons rest awhile...cool. Thanks Eric...Steve just loves to play electric guitar too.KEVIN CHRISTENSEN sang two tunes, some of my favorites. Jared played guitar, sang....there were two drums and that was fun. Bob on drums,, and two Kevin's on drums...WOW. ( wasn't it Santana that regularly played with two drummers?...like all the time?). Next jam, maybe I'll get up there and who knows? Jan O.K. I'm on iPad again, will add links and photos when I get on the BIG computer. Jan

Cool Old Video of BARTLETT With BARONI From 2010

Michael Harrison, Steve Bartlett, by J.A.Rose-Bartlett cc
Cool Old Video of BARTLETT With BARONI From 2010 O.K....I just saw an old video of my Steve from way back in 2010 on FACEBOOK. He's playing at the now closed LIQUID SOUL COFFEE ROASTERs in McKenna, Wa. Miss that place all the time, and, owners MARTIN SALINAS/guitar/vocals and BARB SALINAS, who moved back to California. Anyway, where was I?...oh yes, the video.....Steve has known singer/song writer JON BARONI/keys/harp/vocals for over 20 years. They've done lots a projects together, and visit together or have coffee often. Jon works in Costco now (day job), and, I miss his music. My favorite tune of his has always been 'Harbor Town', I haven't been able to find a video of it. Here's another cool tune of Baroni's called 'Down to the River'....my Bartlett's doing bass, TOD LEMKUHL/guitar and MICHAEL HARRISON/drums. It was the last gig for the band ECLIPSE, as I remember it, from my notes....Reforming with SCOTT ERCOLANI/drums as the band WALTER's BIRTHDAY. Enjoy. I will post the video, photos and links tomorrow...I'm on my iPad right now. Thanks for understanding. Jan

 Next, Steve BARTLETT ON BASS has been 'jammin' on Monday nights with his old friend KEVIN CHRISTENSEN/drums. DENNY FOREMAN's doing some very tasty jazz guitar/vocals on Mondays. , I hear lots of funky soul blues, from the group. It's a jam.....all levels, all types of music welcome...they do it all.
