Bluesfest: Spam Allstars

Of the many and varied styles of music I enjoy, the combination of live band and DJ do not rank high. I'll make an exception for DJ Le Spam - a.k.a. Andrew Yeomanson - and his funky crew of latin-hip-hop-soul-jazzers since they bring it all together so well. And because I like flute.

They're no Blood Ceremony, mind you ... here's Mercedes Abal.



Chad Bernstein rocks the trombone.



Tomas Diaz provides percussion, and more cowbell.



Chad shells out.



Here we have Jose Elias on guitar, more Mercedes, saxman A.J. Hill and extra conch.



Extra A.J.!



I guess I better throw in a picture or two of Yeomanson.



Spammy action!



And so on!



Extra Tomas!



Bonus Mercedes!



The whole lot!



And one last snap.



Then I went off to see The Dropkick Murphys, who were a bit different.
