2023 — Keith LeBlanc’s New Moves record of remixed and reinterpreted Blues classics out of the Chess Records archive. Keith was a longtime friend of Marshall Chess, and had produced a similar record, Chess Moves, in 2012. Ten Years later, Keith called New Moves the best record he ever made. That might be true.

Two days before Vernon Reid and Living Colour, at Jimmy Kimmel’s request, played “Cult of Personality” to close out his show that had included Bruce Springsteen and Jeremy Allen White who played Bruce in Deliver Me From Nowhere, the film that had just been released. The show was just days after Kimmel’s return, after ABC had cancelled him, giving in to pressure exerted by Donald Trump, who whined that Kimmel was treating him “unfairly,” in his “unfunny” monologues.
[FROM THE TOP]
POLITICIAN — Reaching back to his playing guitar in Jack Bruce’s band, Spectrum Road, Vernon included the Cream classic on his second solo record, Hoodoo Telemetry.

LIVING COLOUR and JIMMY KIMMEL — After the band’s performance of “Cult of Personality,” just days after Kimmel was back on the air, after ABC yielded to Donald Trump threats and cancelled their late night host’s show. Donald Trump said Kimmel’s jokes unfunny, unfair, and hurt his I’m-a-cold-blooded-killer feelings.
VERNON REID* w/ ALEX SKOLNICK*, play Jimi Hendrix’ “Up From The Skies” to close Skolnick’s show at the Cutting Room in New York City, a party to release his new I’m Not A Robot album. Friends who had agreed to play after Alex was backstage after Vernon, three days earlier, did a show to release his new record HooDoo Telemetry.
