http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/2918
Read the hype from the Seattle Weekly and The Stranger, then go buy
your tickets!!!!
SEATTLE WEEKLY SAYS:
"Detroit's Ubiquity Records has been on fire this year with releases
from Breakestra, Platinum Pied Pipers, and pretty much every other
nu-jazz, old school funk and "broken boogie" (he, he) album you'd want
to own. This impressive bill has Arnold and Ellis performing 100
percent live sets that mesh the genres above and beyond—locals Sun Tzu,
who ought to be on Ubiquity, open. Solid."
THE STRANGER SAYS:
"Broken beat, nu jazz, neo-R&B... whatever the tag, the music of
Detroiters Jeremy Ellis (AKA Ayro) and John Arnold—who're playing a
freestyle live set tonight—is freshening up a lot of DJ sets and home
listeners' headphones. If Stevie Wonder kept extrapolating on his '70s
peak output instead of descending into schmaltz, it would sound like
Ellis's The Lotus Blooms. The disc's a ravishing outpouring of
unconventionally soulful house and edgy, Afro-Latin funk, topped by
Ellis's passionately dulcet vocals. Arnold perfectly complements Ellis
with funky, wide-lapelled house and broken-beat calor to rival UK
standard-bearers Bugz in the Attic's."
