Benny Reid – Shook Ones Pt. II

The only way to reimagine a classic such as The Infamous is to ensure that the utmost care and integrity is adhered to during the construction. Fortunately, I found myself immersed in the absolute majesty of the source material, some of which was directly performed by my idols, as well as teachers. The brilliance of the original record created a dichotomy of sorts. The material is so desirable to replay, but how to do so in order to warrant a rebirth? The answer lied in stretching the boundaries of my acoustic instruments and jazz background. I hope you enjoy The Infamous Live as much as I enjoyed creating it. -Benny Reid
