Scott Amendola: Drums, Percussion, Electronics
Less is more. Amendola Vs. Blades prove in grand fashion that this idiom applies to music as well as life.
How much MORE?
Well, well - treat yourself to Amendola Vs. Blades’ February 24th concert at Blue Note Hawaiʻi, and you’ll enjoy one of the most bodacious, infectious, groovalicious and downright JOYFUL sounds you’ve ever heard.
Countless forms of funk and jazz along with pepperings of rock presented by two, master musicians given endless amounts of time and space. Enjoy Wil Blades, hailed as “the future” by the late and legendary Dr. Lonnie Smith, directing his Hammond B3 organ through bumpin’ bass lines, scorching leads and scintillating fills. And gaze in wonder at Scott Amendola, recipient of critical praise for both his talent and creativity and a touring / session musician for a cavalcade of stars, propelling the beat in any and all directions he pleases - high, low, in, out and around the bend.
It’s the jazz America gifted to the world and the grooves that made artists and places like George Clinton and New Orleans famous - served to you with sonic and artistic excellence in a cozy club in Honolulu.
Have a look at the bios of Blades and Amendola below, and you’ll see that this is a show and setting rarely on offer in Hawaiʻi. Not to be missed - grab your tickets to this musical jubilee today.

For over 20 years, Jerome James has been a creative force in Honolulu, whether holding down the beat in a multitude of bands, building and captaining Mardi Gras floats or producing and DJing gatherings of ecstatic dancers around the islands. His latest project, ‘Jerome James & Friends,’ is one of our all-time favorite James’ incarnations. The band is a keyboard ensemble featuring James on drums and two accomplished keyboardists, who like James, have dedicated their lives to music - Joshua Kaye and Paka. Together, James, Kaye and Paka create beautiful, soul jazz music that slithers and glides its way into your psyche, lifting your spirit and outlook.
