Jahah Performance at Club Fuzion in Atlanta / NOSTALGIA CD Release

July 11th, 2011

My homie Jahah is a Hip Hop / R&B artist based in Atlanta, GA.  A little while back I had the opportunity to organize some of my musical buddies and put together a band for a show supporting the release of his new project entitled “Nostalgia”.  The band featured Carlos Simon on keys, Larry Newson on drums, Rod Harris on guitar and yours truly on bass.  Check out the footage from the live show!

I also had the opportunity to play bass on and co-produce a few tracks on the album!  In Jahah’s own words:

“For those of you who miss the “golden era ” of hip hop (Biggie, 2 Pac, Nasty Nas, Jay-Z, A Tribe Called Quest, KRS-One, Gang Starr, Black Moon, Wu-Tang etc) my project Nostalgia RED is for you!”

The album is available on iTunes and Amazon or you can download it for free!

Angie Stone Performance Celebrating Poland’s EU Presidency

July 9th, 2011

I had a really cool gig a couple of weeks ago!  I traveled to Warsaw, Poland to perform with Angie Stone in a concert series celebrating Poland’s new Presidency of the European Union.  This is an incredible honor that rotates throughout members of the EU every six months.  An estimated 20,000 people were in attendance and the concert was broadcast live throughout the country!

Soul Fest 2011

January 9th, 2011

I had a really great show this past weekend!  Angie Stone was the headliner at an event called Soul Fest at the House of Blues in Atlanta City, NJ!

The show featured Jaguar Wright, Ledisi, and Angie Stone.  All three artists put on incredibly great shows and there was an impromptu performance from all three artists in the end paying homage to Soul music and it’s roots.  Our fingers are crossed… the response was so great that we are hoping that this turns into a tour!  Wouldn’t you like to see that?!?!?!

We were all a little afraid of that the weather had in store for us this weekend.  When we left Atlanta, everyone was predicting a huge blizzard to attack New Jersey and New York.  Luckily it only snowed for an hour or so and the conditions weren’t bad at all.  Then our concerns shifted towards the incoming inclement weather back in Atlanta, but we heard things would hold off for us until we arrived.  Great ending right?  NOPE!!!… because we make it to the plane to find out the the navigational computer in the plane would not boot up!!  So I was still stuck in Jersey until they could get another one in from Baltimore.

We finally made it back to Atlanta and we did so before the snow started here!  Thank God!  It was cool though, because I was able to be on the beach in the snow for the first time in my life!!

AFAR AND HIP HOP IN PERU!

AFAR workshop on hip hop in Trujillo, Peru

What’s up everybody?  It’s really been a while since I’ve last posted about AFAR and our travels.  We were recently invited to Peru to do our instructional workshops and concerts at the Bi-National Centers, where people are given an opportunity to come and learn English.  This trip has been a little different, and easier, in that almost everyone that we come across are either learning English or have become very fluent in English.
