Bohemian National Home, Detroit, March 17, 2010 [SW-0032]

Detroit Life Radio 141

I enjoyed the extreme pleasure of attending and hosting the 101 Runners Mardi Gras Indian funk band concert at Tipitina’s in New Orleans last month on a Saturday night before Mardi Gras, and I’ve been listening to the recordings this week while composing the liner notes for the album that’s being made by Chris Jones & Tracey Freeman from the show that night. I’ll play the music for you in a month or so when it’s released on CD at JazzFest, but tonight I’m featuring an earlier 101 Runners concert at Tipitina’s on November 15, 2008 with Big Chief Monk Boudreaux and War Chief Juan Pardo leading the vocals, Tom Worrell on keyboards, Billy Iuso on guitar, Kirk Joseph on tuba, Jimmy Carpenter on baritone saxophone, Ajay Mallery on drums, Lionel Batiste Jr. on the bass drum, Chris Jones on congas, and the great Alfred “Uganda” Roberts guesting on congas as well. The Sinclair On The Air show is broadcasting tonight from the Bohemian National Home in Detroit and is heard every Saturday night at midnight over Salto Wereld Radio-99.4 FM and Cable 104.6 as a service of Radio Free Amsterdam.

John Sinclair Radio Show 268

Hi-Ho Lounge, New Orleans, January 31, 2008 [DL8-0131]

Detroit Life Radio 129

When I was in New Orleans in June to visit my daughter Celia, we spent an evening with our friend Chris Jones, congalero and leader of the Mardi Gras Indian Funk band called 101 Runners, and he gave me the recording of a great 101 Runners show I had attended at the Hi-Ho Lounge during Mardi Gras 2008. The band doesn’t have any music in release so far, so it’s a special treat to be able to share the mighty 101 Runners with our listeners. Honey Bannister and War Chief Juan Pardo are the featured singers and the Runners—with Kirk Joseph on tuna and Willie Green, A.J. Mallory, Lionel Batiste Jr. and Chris Jones in the percussion section—pump out the funk from beginning to end. Yeah you rite!
