2 bass, 2 drummers AND THAT IS ALL


Treasure Hunt - Pt 2 of 2

James Chance used to STALK James Brown

Obviously James Brown is a huge influence on your work. Did you ever meet him?

JC: No, I never did meet him. I went to a few of his shows around 1980. I went to one that was at a night-club in Brooklyn and after the show I waited around outside his dressing room for a long time to try to talk to him, but he just wasn't opening the door, so I finally gave up and went home!

HI, HOW ARE YOU ?




Treasure Hunt - Pt 1 of 2

Yma Sumac, Peru OR Amy Camus, Brooklyn ?



Cumbe Maita from the album Inca Taqui back in 1953.
Cumbe Maita is ONLY on 3 octaves. Only. Actually, Yma Sumac's vocal range was close to 5 octaves.
