April 14th - J Rocc (Stones Throw), Mochilla (B+ & Eric Coleman) live



Also featuring Mochilla Presents: "Timeless Suite For Ma Dukes" (J Dilla) film viewing.

Timeless Suite For Ma Dukes is a music/film project by Carlos Nino & Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, they decided to pay tribute to J Dilla by interpreting his music in a contemporary chamber/orchaestra music style. A Suite for Ma Dukes initially began in 2007, on what would have been Dilla's 33rd birthday, when NiƱo & Atwood-Ferguson recorded and released their strings, brass and reeds-only version of J Dilla & Common’s “Nag Champa” to DJs, producers and fans over the internet for free. They had written the entire piece to accompany the record as a their tribute to Dilla, feeling that the producer was still in the track not by his presence but by his absence.


J ROCC:
As a member of the World Famous Beat Junkies (DJ collective), J Rocc has been a mainstay in West Coast hip-hop for over 20 years despite his youthful appearance and age. In addition to numerous mixtapes and his own production for Stones Throw releases, J. Rocc has been the DJ for Madlib's live shows since the early 2000's, was the 3rd member of Jaylib (Madlib & J Dilla) during the group's live events, and collaborated with Madlib on Beat Konducta Vol. 5-6: A Tribute to J Dilla. J. Rocc is currently working on a solo album for Stones Throw.


Mochilla: B+ & Eric Coleman
B+ (pronounced Bee Plus) is usually known as the man behind the camera, recently he has been making a name for himself as the man behind the turntables! In Los Angeles with musical comrade Eric Coleman they combine to create Mochilla. Mochilla has been on the forefront of the Los Angeles raregroove & vinyl scene for a few years now.

$10 at THE DOOR!

April 14th, 2010 9pm - 2am

Viewing of "A Suite For Ma Dukes" (J Dilla) is from 9pm - 10pm.

The Black Out Hosted by Lebron James - Post Coverage



Chicago (South Loop), Illinois, 2010:

Another classic event has taken place at The Shrine, the stars were out for "The Black Out" a Hennessy Black sponsored event hosted by NBA superstar Lebron James. The soundtrack was provided by international club DJ "Mick Boogie". His timing was picture perfect as it seemed he had a 6th sense and knew exactly when to play certain songs. You really had to be there when Jay-Z walked in to his own hit song "PSA". While Lebron James and Jay-Z were the biggest stars of the night they were not alone! Young Jeezy, Trey Songz, Newly signed Chicago Bear defensive end Julius Peppers, Anderson Varejao, Jamario Moon, Sebastian Telfair, Olympic Gold Medalist & Chicago native Shani Davis, business mogul and Chicagoan George Daniels, Hakim Warrick and more were partying just to name a few.

More details to come soon, enjoy the first batch of photos!

THE FUNKY DRUMMER (THE BEAT IN AFROBEAT)

You can't talk about Fela or The Shrine without talking about Fela's original drummer and band leader Tony Allen! Of course we have to go back to the crates and pull out the records... Besides crucial recordings with Fela, Allen has released a grip of his own records dating from the mid-70s to two brand new albums dropping this past year. His beats have been continuously sending ripples through the music world for forty years. Masters of Work, Bobbito, Spinna & Ron Trent are just a few who have offered up re-mixes or edits of Fela/Tony Allen material from the 70s. J Dilla only went back a year when he sampled Allen's 'Asiko' (1999) for Common on the cut 'Heat' on his 2000 album LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE.


His first four records (1975-79) are available as a double CD entitled AFRO DISCO BEAT from Spain's Vampi Soul label. As powerful as any of the Fela records, this is Afro Beat straight, no chaser. Long jams with low end rumble, blazing horns and funky keys all riding atop Tony snaking drums. In the 80s he continued playing and touring and appearing sporadically on albums by various artists from Randy Weston to Grace Jones.


In 1999 Allen re-emerged with the BLACK VOICES album. Produced in Paris, where he now lives, the album saw Allen branching out and embracing new styles, most notably Electronica and Dub. (Well not all new, he'd already recorded with Jamaican saxophone giant Cedric 'IM' Brooks) The album brought him a new generation of listeners, who may have been unaware of his roots with Fela. Re-mixes followed as well as the Allenko Brotherhood Ensemble - a series of a 12" singles based on Allen's drum patterns produced by a host of young beat makers and producers.


He seems to be making up for lost time, releasing a handful of records of his own and appearing on countless records by other artists. After mixing funk & hip hop on 2002's HOME COOKING he has gone back to playing more traditional Afro Beat but continues to push the boundaries collaborating with and recording with divergent groups like Awa Band, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble (represent Chicago!), The Good The Bad & The Queen & Charlotte Gainsbourg to name a few.


Tony is bringing more heat this year with his own 'Secret Agent Man' album as well as 'Inspiration Information Vol. 4' with Jimi Tenor. If you have not seen the man play live, check the promo film for his newest album below...

March 17th, Jazz-Funk presents Yahzarah (of The Foreign Exchange)



Also featuring Special guest ChinaBlac w/ live band Verzatile. Music by DJ Ron Trent!

Start Time:
Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 9:00pm


Description:

http://tinyurl.com/yahzarah <---$10 tickets

YAHZARAH:

Yahzarah has created a unique mold that cannot be replicated. She is one of a kind. She is the confluence of that which is both classic and cutting edge. Hearing Yahzarah elevate from a soul diva to a funk shaman causes your ears and soul to be inundated with a sound that's part Shirley Caesar and part Sly Stone, with a touch of the Brides of Funkenstein. Prepare to be pulled in, and to become hooked on Ms. Purple St. James.

YahZarah has released three musical ventures to date: “Hear Me” , “Black Star” & "The Prelude (under the name Purple St. James)". YahZarah is featured on the albums Connected and Leave It All Behind by The Foreign Exchange and the Little Brother album The Minstrel Show. www.myspace.com/yahzarah



CHINABLAC:

It's a common story nowadays ... an artist stepping out of the shadow of backing - vocalism to express his or her personal creativity with an album. A singer that's doing this with success and grace is Chinahblac who, after her background and arrangement work withJill Scott andErykah Badu debuts with Introducing Eugenia Shata. ChinahBlac possesses the rare capability of twisting a song into different dimensions. Starting out slightly dark or dejected and evolving into harmonious, dreamy pieces of art. An exceptional capacity that provides the album with the element of surprise.Supporting everyone from TheDave Mathews Band, being the vocal director for Erykah Badu to presently recording, arranging, and touring with Jill Scott (Hate On Me, My Love, All I from “The Real Thing” Words and sounds Vol 3.), she has become one of the most sought after vocal arrangers in the industry. ChinahBlac has seasoned herself in the world of music and is now making her introduction to the world as a solo artist with a live show that's bring the fire back to music. http://www.myspace.com/thechinahblac
