PREACHER JACK & WILLIE ALEXANDER… hosted by T MAX
Two Legends Share the Stage at the Dog Bar on Saturday April 14
T Max also releases his new CD, Shake!
On stage Willie Alexander is knockin’ out “Life is the Poem,” one of the many unique sound-pieces from his recent Vincent Ferrini album and props it up alongside his older classic tunes. Willie states that everything these days is in Ab, Bb, or Eb, as he tickles the keys and rolls through lines of poetry that include “Looking for the North Shore”—I think he found it.
Preacher Jack cranks up his ebony and ivory with the feeling of a modern-day Moses—both visually and communicatively. Jack has that steady pounding left-hand downbeat that pulsates the boogie into the woogie. Praise the Lord. Preacher declares love is a big responsibility—and that God doesn’t like bad rock ‘n’ roll.
The Great Alexander joins the Preacher on the same piano stool. Willie’s right hand is beepin’ while Jack’s left is boppin’, and the audience refuses to let this moment in history stop.
Good Morning Gloucester
