JAZZID UP!
In case you didn't know fellow list member Tony Reid (aka DJ T-Bird), DJ
Junior Roach, PMJQ's Nickie Black and I run a club in West Los Angeles
called JAZZID UP! .
JAZZID UP! Has been a popular Sunday night hang for us folks in the acid
jazz/electronica scene here (Kevin Wiliams of Butterflow and Solsonics fame
comes often, as well as guitarist Emile Poree of Umoja/Mesh of
Mind/ex-Solsonics) and KCRW/Quango mainstay Jason Bentley dropped by last
week! List members, both locals and out-of-town guests have been known to
drop in as well...
Just to let you know about our upcoming schedule for the month of
May...looks like a party month:
MAY 4 - Celebrate "Cinco De Mayo Eve" (Cuatro De Mayo?) con FIVE DEGREES OF
SOUL - an energetic quintet
mixing funk, jazz and latin sounds featuring Larry Solak on trumpet and
Jibe's Tommy O. on sax(es). No sitting down allowed! Mas caliente!
MAY 11 - Yet another reason to party as JAZZID UP! throws a birthday bash
for singer Kevin Williams as his band BUTTERFLOW drops new soul and funk
from da Westside. Look for special guests to drop in!
MAY 18 - The party doesn't stop as Long Beach's own 00 SOUL drops da
megaton bomb of grooves. DJ Gary Tesh is likely to do some guest spins, and
fellow listmember R. Scott (also of West Coast Harem) will drop some mighty
Wurlitzer flava for the night.
MAY 25 - It's Memorial Day weekend, and you know what that means - The
start of summer! So Celebrate Summertime Madness with the band PMJQ doin
their smooove and soulful workout of jazz and funk classics.
If you've seen T-Bird behind the turntables, wait 'till you see him behind
the keyboard!
June will also be a major month...Look for JAZZID UP!'s first anniversary
