Daryl Hall and Sharon Jones: ... What elses is there to say???

This video is ridiculous.  I'm on a roll... I think its because I am not writing much under the guise of  "the music speaks for itself".
Live From Daryl's House ep. 34: Sharon Jones

Sounding Out, Once Again: Quantic and Alice Russell

So I thought I left this blog behind me.  Its been well since a year from when I last posted. But, fortunately, there are so many exciting things going on with music and food, I would can't fight the urge to share.  This one comes from one of my favorite musicians working in the biz today: UK born, Columbian transplant, Quantic aka Will Holland.  This multi-instrumentalist, composer, DJ, and producer extraordinaire chooses his collaborations wisely.  He has worked with singer Alice Russell for many years. Russlle has a voice as penatrating as Adelle and as soulful as Amy Winehouse, whose pairing elevates Hollands talents in the club and in the studio. With their first full album collaboration due out this spring, backed by Quantic's Como Barbaro, this record is on the top of my 2012 anticipation list.
