Z-Star, Dizraeli and Kal Lavelle at Lyrix Organix “Relay Loop Session”.

I know I’ve got a high horse when it comes to music at times, hating on simplistic or overly publicised things, or just poor content from musicians but I think the appeal of these three should be fairly obvious with or without my prejudice that talent should prevail. We begin with Z-Star, who has been strumming on her guitar just after playing with Joe Driscoll. See, the relay situation is as follows. Performer 1 and Performer 2 start playing a song together. They make it up on the spot and they just jam, freestyle and see where it goes. Then Performer 3 joins them both, and Performer 1 slowly disappears. This happens all the way up to Performer 6, who joins 4 and 5, and when 4 leaves, is joined by Performer 1 again (full circle). Its considered passing the baton of the song over. The order was Shlomo, Aruba Red, Joe Driscoll, Z-Star, Mc Dizraeli and Kal Lavelle, then back to Shlomo - reverse order of who played their songs to open the set up. 

So this part of the video has Z-Star who’s just finished a song about Marijuana and happiness with Joe, to jamming with Dizraeli, who gets words and ideas relating to love from members of the audience, then includes them in his rhymes on stage - because that’s what freestyling is. Making it up on the spot, not just taking pre-written rhymes and putting a different instrumental behind it. This is followed up by Kal Lavelle joining them, and Z-Star departing, for another improv song that I’ve dubbed “Loved His Misses Poorly”. The effortless nature of it all is just insane, and they gel together so well, considering many haven’t played together before.

It reminds me of the Camp Fire series that Martin Rivas and Craig Meyer do. Its just so natural and so easy to like. Its just talent. This is the future of music.
