Native Vibe |
|
|
Native Vibe just off a very successful evening at Yoshi's in Oakland where, with the new line up of musicians and material, kicked butt. Leaders Bill Macpherson and Nee Sackey were joined by one of their original drummers, Russ Gold and long time keyboardist Kevin Flornoy and a percussionist I did not know. Best ever and they will be playing here with that line up on June 1. On June 2 I have them up at our concert series at Lake McSwain called "McSwain on the Green" a great place right on the lake.

Jazz Under the Stars |
|
 |
Smooth Jazz Super Band:
Four80east |
|
|
As with many so-called “acid jazz” groups, their music is not clearly defined as smooth jazz or any other type of jazz for that matter. Four80East operates on a plane that expresses their own stylized A ability under an umbrella of electrified and funky vibes. They have a pronounced R&B influence that fills in the layers between jazz and soul. Improvisational by nature, their recordings are filled with club-inspired beats, exotic rhythms and soulful melodies, some of which are tied to interwoven vocals. A unique sound that can only be described as “Four80East” |
