Tune #2 is Kevin Breit’s, “No Particular Place”, from the album Blues Mongrel. Carlos and the band drive it down the sonic highway like an A model Ford full of keystone cops chasing Chaplin pumping a handcar down a parallel track, only it’s Shawn Kellerman playing the guitar.

Tune #3 is also by a local guitar player, Mark Sepic. “The Field” is in honour of “the universal field of buzz that connects us all”. This kind of slow tropical calypso tune with a feels-mystically-good aura to it, is followed by a mean funky blues duo with Kellerman’s slidey guitar playing a kind of cartoon music that segués into something called “The Heated Tadpole” that sounds like spooky circus music sound-track for a Federico Fellini film.

The set rides home on a car song, “Rocket 88” that sounds like “Ode to Joy” played on a calliope. Carlos shows here why some refer to him, quite rightly, as ‘maestro’, as he backs a precise, elegant, and clearly denoted solo with what sounds like the chords of B3. You have to look up to see that the band is not playing and it’s just him.
