Blackberry Smoke (outstanding
live sound & style, how they manage themselves, etc) *, Thelonious
Monk (p, 1917-82, modern jazz co-founder, important
to Mhdb chords & changes, rhythmic trickiness) *,
and Chris
Dave (d, 'contemporary' jazz, fancy drumming) *: They
have influenced Mhdb greatly in recent years. These influences
are not copied or 'covered' by Mhdb, but processed or tested out
and integrated into one of the existing 43 Mhdb songs or the
Mhdb concept.
Blackberry Smoke,
on the one hand: outstanding live sound & style. - On the
other hand: Since March 2020, Mhdb have watched, for example,
Blackberry Smoke, how this band has overcome the corona
quarantine & crisis. After initial online band sessions and
occasional live-streamed performances without a live
audience, Blackberry Smoke have probably offered live
streaming since around November 2020. But at the same time,
Blackberry Smoke have continued touring the USA and Canada
probably under corona conditions (more generous than the quasi
total cultural ban in Germany, but also risky of getting
infected) *. However,
B. S. have postponed their European tour (Munich, Cologne,
Stuttgart, Wiesbaden, Berlin, etc) from February 2022 to
March 2023. B. S. continue touring in the USA (low covid
incidence for a long time). November 4th, 2022 ... 'Everyone
... wishes Brit Turner a full and speedy recovery.' *
