Gen, please let us know how this turns out! I think they've
been advertising the gigs (at least in LA) as "Jazzanova", but
really it's just one DJ, as far as I know. I hope that none
would doubt me if I said that Ron Trent is in a totally different
league than Jason Bentley, being a house music legend of sorts.
I really have to recommend Giant Step. Though it may be miles
away from the "good old days" of Giant Step, it certainly retains
the spirit of adventure and simple love of music. When I was
in New York this summer I got the chance to see "The Reunion",
Ron Trent and Anthony Nicholson spinning together. You know it's
good when Ron busts out Pat Metheny's "Are You Going With Me"
and DJ-extraordinaire MKL gets up and starts doing some serious
breakdancing.
