Chant - Sherlock’s Pub (Dallas)

"Not a damn thing happens on Monday night, which is the popular thinking.  Well, that thinking is waaaay wrong, and not simply for the fact that this Park/Central club has $2 call-its all night.  It’s wrong because they have some great live music as well.  This night belonged to the three-piece Chant.  Simply put, Chant is the most talented local set since the Earl Harvin trio (ed: Seal's touring drummer for last several years), which makes them the most musically gifted group in DFW, period.  Lead singer Chant Duplantier has the soulful smoothness to carry Marvin Gaye and Prince while his guitar can cover, as it did on Hendrix’s "Little Wing," the range from delicate jazz/blues to scale shredding rock, replete with harmonic forays and staccato ’finger-on’ runs.  Beyond that, Jerry Smith Jr. grooves nicely on the bass right up until his solo/jam, where he displays skill few have ever witnessed live (see:  Stanley Clarke) and drummer JK Kelly chills through the standard fare while occasionally tossing in a few jazz-based timing twists.  These twists are only a hint of what he is capable of, which comes later to a well-deserved standing ovation.  Visit (www.chantmusic.com) or www.myspace.com/chantmusic and find them live!"
