Amp Fiddler

Amp has an impressive resume. He was part of George Clinton’s Parliament and Funkadelic groups from 1985 until 1996. He released his first solo album, Waltz Of A Fly Ghetto, in 2004.

In the picture, Amp kinda looks like Kobe Bryant on open mic night at a jazz club. One thing for sure, he’s got game like the Black Mamba. His bluesy-rock cover of the Jimi Hendrix’s classic “Hey Joe” is solid.

Billy Martin, Chris Wood and John Medeski

MMW recorded “Hey Joe” during their 9 night stretch at Tonic (capacity-180), located on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.They played 3/16 through 3/20/99 and resumed 3/23 to 3/26/99. I was fortunate enough to attend four of the nine shows. Their mellow jazz version of “Hey Joe” is fantastic.
