Eric Kalb is a devotee of rhythm and blues drumming with an improvisational aesthetic colored by bursts of rock aggression. Best known for his high energy live performances he has toured North America, Europe, Australia and Japan with such notables as Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, John Scofield, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Charlie Hunter, The Greyboy Allstars and Deep Banana Blackout to name a few. Along the way he has had the pleasure of playing with the legendary Allman Brothers Band and New Orleans supergroup The Meters. Eric has also backed up Rock-n-Roll icon Chuck Berry and performed at such important events as the Newport, Monterey and Umbria Jazz Festivals. Studio sessions have included recordings for the major motion pictures American Gangster and Walk Hard:The Dewey Cox Story. Eric Kalb endorses DW drums and Vic Firth sticks exclusively.
I feel in love with this version of this song while watching the series First Wives. I was so disappointed to find out Sharon had passed away. She and the Dap Kings are so under rated. I hate I had never heard of them before. Rest in Peace, Sweet Lady. You left so much wonderful music for us to enjoy.
Hello Eric, I am French, a fan, among other things, of soul music and I had the opportunity in Paris to see Sharon on stage several times, whom I found tremendously talented and energetic, as well as Charles Bradley. You may not have seen it, but a few weeks ago I posted on my channel that I recently created the entire (just missing a few seconds between files) of the magic concert, a great evening, which you gave in Paris at La Cigale on March 12, 2012 and which I filmed in the front row with pretty good sound and image quality. Best regards.
