Last night:

Donald Kachamba's Kwela Heritage Jazzband

Sinosi Mlendo - guitar, tin whistle & vocals

Moya A. Malamusi - one string tea crate bass, mouth bows, vocals

Gerhard Kubik - guitar, clarinet, vocals

Christopher Gerald (Khilibize) - rattle, vocals, tin whistle

They play Kwela - a musical style from Southern and Eastern Africa, isnpried by jazz and son/rumba/calypso recordings brought to Africa since the 1950's.

Inluding references to Gerry Mulligan tunes and Lullabye of Birdland ...

Trumpeter Pharez Whitted and guitarist Bobby Broom at the Jazz Kitchen in Indy.  Still hoping to sneak into Chicago for Winnard.

Is Pharez at the Kitchen Sunday night? Yikes I haven't seen him years. I think I'm going to try to go-- are you going early?

On June 24 I saw Antibalas & Soulive at Prospect Park in Brooklyn for a $3 donation. Antibalas laid down some serious grooves and a lot of left-wing commentary and the park jumpin'. Soulive followed and somehow got the groove up a level! Fantastic concert, thousands dancing, deep groove, music of substance, Great time had by yours truly.

He meant somehow they kicked it up a notch from Antibalas, which in case you haven't heard them, absolutely kick the grooves with that jungle boogie Afro beat. There aint much groove left on the meter after Antibalas, Soulive must've taken it to 11!

That's exactly it, ScottB. Antibalas was smokin', and between sets I wondered if Soulive could come up to that level of groove, but they did hit 11!

It was a great scene, thousands of people in a park dancing and groovin' to the music, including many that were new to the music. :tup

Salsa and Cumbia, Ska, Punk, Reggae und pure Rock’n’Roll ... heard their debut CD and liked it. Very energetic) and Compania Maria Serrano (Flamenco diva I've heard of but have never seen).
