I want to give you all a song from the album, so you know it is real. This is the most recently completed mix we have done. It is a song called “Down At The Palace”. This song was written for our beloved stage at the Oregon Country Fair. She is called ‘The DuCaniveaux Vaudeville Palace. Each year we make the journey to Veneta and before the fair opens we build our stage. She is a masterpiece. Many performers juggle, dance, flip, hang, sing, twist and turn all over her. Our troupe ‘The Royal Famille DuCaniveaux’ usually does 6 shows over the weekend and after the last show we tear her down and put her away again until next year. She is a party all her own. This song became a real funk & roll tune brought to life by the people below:

Down At The Palace- Written by Ron W. Bailey

Drums- Kelly Van Camp,  Hammond, Wurlitzer & Piano- Daniel Walker, Guitar- Rod Cook ,  Slide Guitar- Al Kaatz,  Bass- Dean Schmidt,  Horns- Billy Joe Huels, Sean Jensen, Brian Mueller,   Tambourine- Steve White

This Documentary inspires me daily to bring back REAL MUSIC and promote natural talent in our city... @wheedlesgroove is not a movement it is history... See it at the Moore Theater 9.16.11...

In 1972, a thriving Seattle soul music scene was on the verge of national recognition. In 1975, almost suddenly, the scene died and was quickly forgotten by the changing city. In 2001, after the chance discovery of a 45-record, a local DJ uncovers a rich past hidden in plain view. Narrated by Sir Mix-A-Lot. Features interviews with musicians from the time as well as commentary with Quincy Jones, Mark Arm (Mudhoney), Ben Shepherd (Soundgarden), Ben Gibbard (Postal Service/Death Cab for Cutie). The film is directed by Jennifer Maas and edited by Michelle Witten. The trailer is edited by Howard Leff with graphics by Ted Speaker.

Reviews:

“The story arc traced by WHEEDLE’S GROOVE— Jennifer Maas’ documentary about the Seattle soul and funk scene of the ’70s — is the best expression of the city’s zeitgeist in recent memory.” – Jonathan Zwickel, Seattle Times

“This exceptionally good-looking doc brings a scene back to life” -Rolling Stone

“The best documentary of 2010, Wheedle’s Groove is a moving cinematic testament to the pure power of music and not only a tribute to the Seattle soul music scene, but to a time in our nation’s not-too-far-off past when it felt for a beautiful minute like America had soul.” – Michael Simmons, Huffington Post

“This fascinating documentary uncovers the original Seattle sound — an unheralded, vital soul scene in the ’60s and ’70s…” – Must List, Entertainment Weekly

“Maas’s unearthing of this small group of musicians, decked out in platform shoes, soul ’fros and pimp hats, serves up pure gold with every frame.” – Johnson Cummins, Montreal Mirror

“The filmmakers have approached the subject and its players with a sense of appreciation and compassion that is evident throughout the film. It is a must-see for any fan of soul, funk, and R&B music.” – Tim Sampson, Communications Director, Stax Museum of American Soul Music
