"The name of the band is Spanish for "dreaming" but when the hordes come out for Sońando, they don't sleepwalk-they dance. And we're not talking a few perfunctory head-bobs or butt-wiggles, they dance until they go up in flames like, Tula's unquenchable bedroom in the Cuban lyrics above." -Woodstock Times- |

 Jay and the Kings County Band mix up Soul, New Orleans rhythms, and some Blues into a funky stew that surprises and satisfies. Along with being the sax player of choice for famous artists like Gregg Allman, Levon Helm, and Donald Fagen, Jay has also been moon-lighting as a singer/songwriter for years.
Jay fronts his Kings County Band on gigs throughout the region when he's not performing with the horn section at Levon Helm’s Ramble in Woodstock, or playing in The Dukes of September, a musical collective featuring Fagen, Boz Scaggs, and Michael McDonald. He is also the musical director for Greg Allman's band. Collins is proud of his past work with musicians like Ray LaMontagne, James Hunter, Bobby Sanabria, Jacky Terrasson, Andrew Hill, and Chris Bergson.
In an era where most learn to play music through an institution, Mr. Collins is one of those increasingly rare musicians who, for the most part, learned to play “on the bandstand”.

 On the last Friday of the month, me, Studio Stu will be musically exploding at my favorite joint in the Hudson Valley, Market Market Cafe. Each month I will bring a different, unique blend of eclectic musicians together to mingle in the musically unknown. This month, TRIO LOCO, with MARK DZIUBA and BRIAN MELICK...ya know it's gonna be entertaining.
This is one very cool joint, a bit of Brooklyn in the middle of all these trees. (there are a lot of trees up here)
So, come have a drink, some incredible, and I mean, incredible food, and I'll play my little heart out with the band du jour to soothe yer soul with some tunes that are familiar, yet, not. Come on down and I'll explain it to you...bring your mother too.
Check Out Studio Stu... |
