In the very early morning hours of May 28, 2011 a group of super musicians descended on the Kessler Theatre in Dallas, Texas. Geno Young’s “Camp Wisdom Concert Series” hosted Shaun Martin’s Go-Go Party. The atmosphere was electric and Shaun Martin was at his best. His charisma was so intense that even when he stepped off the stage for a song, you never felt his absence, which also says a lot about his band. Tight and disciplined this group of super musicians followed Shaun Martin’s every cue. Even when the groove slowed down, it never felt drawn out. The Go-Go Party is usually hosted at another venue in town but I think the Kessler Theatre as of May 28th has secured themselves as the new venue. I hope we don’t have to wait for the annual Christmas Go-Go to experience another “Camp Wisdom Concert Series” performance like this one.

A few super musicians and moments later you have the most intense straight ahead jazz you ever heard.

Timbaland knows…HE IS THE MAN! Charting in the top 10 in almost every popular musical genre, Timbaland knows he is the producer to respect and now add performing tour artist.

Timbaland’s (Producer: Justin Timberlake’s “Cry Me a River,” “Sexyback,” Nelly Furtdao’s “Promiscuous”) ”Shock Value 2″ tour was an all around sensory sensation. I seriously do not even know where to begin. The audio was spectacular because the band was made up of some serious session and touring players. Yes, I said “band.” An eight member band to be exact, playing some intense arrangements. The video and lighting were synced to the beats that Timbaland created. This gave the illusion that the artist presented on the video screen was actually on stage with the band. It was a wild and very fun ride for your eyes and ears. This was only a promotional run. I can’t wait to see what he does for the real tour.

I should have the behind the scenes pics and videos up soon. Let me just tell you, “his band is crazy.”
