Product Description New York, NY 04/20/2000 Players Joe Maneri, Mat Maneri, Brahim Fribgane, John Medeski, Mike Rivard, Erik Kerr. Live NYC 4/20/00 is features fewer grooves than the Vassar and Athens release but has plenty of great moments. Down in the Hole features Richard Zukowski on vocals expanding out on some prose, one of the few Club dElf tracks featuring lyrics on these releases. This is an edited version and is not the complete show, however it is still a over 2 1/2 hours of great music (158 minute plus run time). About the Artist Club D'Elf is a boston based collective, centered around bass player Mike Rivard and a core of main conspirators. After years as one of Boston's most in-demand bass players (the Story, Morphine, Either/Orchestra), Rivard has made many good musical contacts, and uses them to call in an extremely wide variety of guest musicians/club members. The band's self-described concept is "live dub-trance-groove excursions, incorporating electronica, hip hop, funk, and free jazz as well as Moroccan and West African trance traditions". The bottom line is the groove, but there's always far more going on than your basic jam band. The first three releases all feature John Medeski of Medeski Martin and Wood.
