DEFUNKT SOUL Fondati a New York nel 1978 dal trombonista e cantante Joe Bowie, i Defunkt si sono presto distinti per il loro originale mix di funk,soul, punk-rock e jazz, producendo ben 15 album e partecipando a tour in tutto il mondo e a centinaia di Jazz festival e avvenimenti Rock-Soul internazionali, dividendo i palcoscenici con artisti del calibro di James Brown, David Byrne and Talking Heads, The Clash, Prince, Me'Shell NdegéOcello, Maceo Parker, ponendosi tra i migliori gruppi del settore. Considerati più un "collective" che una vera e propria band, i Defunkt hanno visto avvicendarsi tantissimi musicisti dell'area newyorkese e non, alcuni davvero famosissimi come il trombettista Lester Bowie, fratello del leader Joe, Vernon Reid,chitarrista dei Living Color, e poi Kim Clarke,Reggie Washington,Melvin Gibbs, Adam Klipple ed altri. Dal 2003 Joe Bowie vive in Olanda e nel 2009 ha voluto rifondare la band in Europa, riuscendo a trovare nello straordinario e variopinto underground musicale di Parigi i musicisti giusti per continuare il suo progetto. I nuovi Defunkt sono composti,oltre al leader Joe Bowie, da Linley Marthe,straordinario bassista del compianto Joe Zawinul, dall'italiano Rocco Zifarelli, dalla cantante franco-africana Emma Lamadji, dai francesi Michael Lecoq alle tastiere e Jon Grandcamp alla batteria. Con questa formazione la band ha eseguito diversi tour in Europa e registrato il CD "Mastervolt" pubblicato nel 2015 dall'etichetta americana Zip Records. ................................................. Founded in New York in 1978 by trombonist and singer Joe Bowie, Defunkt soon stood out for their original mix of funk, soul, punk-rock and jazz, producing 15 albums and touring around the world and hundreds of Jazz festivals and international Rock-Soul events, sharing stages with artists as James Brown, David Byrne and Talking Heads, The Clash, Prince, Me'Shell NdegéOcello, Maceo Parker, and placing among the best funk groups . Considered more a "collective" than a real band, the Defunkt have seen many musicians from the New York area and not, some really famous as the trumpeter Lester Bowie, brother of the leader Joe, Vernon Reid, guitarist of Living Color, and then Kim Clarke, Reggie Washington, Melvin Gibbs, Adam Klipple and others. Since 2003 Joe Bowie lives in Holland and in 2009 he wanted to re-found the band in Europe, managing to find the right musicians in the extraordinary and colorful musical underground of Paris to continue his project. The new Defunkt are composed, in addition to the leader Joe Bowie, by Linley Marthe, extraordinary bassist of the late Joe Zawinul, by the Italian Rocco Zifarelli, by the French-African singer Emma Lamadji, by the French Michael Lecoq on keyboards and Jon Grandcamp on drums. With this line-up the band performed several tours in Europe and recorded the CD "Mastervolt" published in 2015 by the American label Zip Records. infos: website: www.roccozifarelli.com email: [email protected] .

All Ya Needs That Negrocity is Burnt Sugar's twelfth album since their debut in 1999. Tate shared his thoughts on jazz, afro-futurism, and James Brown. GOODISON: Tell me about your life before you came to New York. TATE: I was born in Dayton, Ohio, and we moved to DC when I was about twelve, so that would have been about 1971, 1972, and that was about the same time I really got interested in music, collecting music, really interested in collecting jazz and rock, and reading music criticism too. It kinda all happened at the same time. I had a subscription to Rolling Stone. I was really into Miles Davis. He was like my god in the 1970s. Miles, George Clinton, Sun Ra, and locally we had a serious kind of band scene going on.

Sometimes Going Home for the Weekend to Visit the Folks Is a Little
arts&entertainraent THREAD Sometimes going home for the weekend to visit the folks is a little tense, but you can bet that it’s not as intense as Clyde Owens’ trip home to rural North Carolina in Jonathan Bolt's Threads. Threads, the‘first of two plays this quarter presented by the Dramatic Arts Department, is a family drama about the homecoming of a less-than- successful Hollywood actor to the mill town he grew up in. As with most contemporary dramas, the famlily reunion develops into a series of con frontations and introspection. Director William Glover calls it an old-fashioned, simple play that is as warm and humorous as it is dramatic. Glover, a guest lecturer in the department of Dramatic Art, comes to UCSB as a professional, having directed at the Mark Taper Forum and played the voice of Winston in Disney’s Oliver and Company. His best summation of Threads was, "it’s en tertaining.” "When you go to the theater you go to be en tertained,” said Glover. “Its the opposite of television. TV says ‘don’t get involved’ ... theater says 'please come, please think.’ When you leave, the experience has made you richer.” Threads may not be a great piece of art, but it’s not TV. The play rises from the depths of mere en tertainment by tapping into a raw nerve of human experience: family. The Owens family draws the personal life of playwright Bolt, who knew fir sthand the hardship of working in a textile mill and interacting in a rural family.

Even before the release of their 1988 debut album, Vivid , the band members were actively involved in the Black Rock Coalition, a non-profit organization founded by journalist Greg Tate, producer Konda Mason, and Living Colour guitarist Vernon Reid as a means of supporting and sponsoring black rock artists. Consisting of Reid, Will Calhoun (drums), Corey Glover (vocals), and Doug Wimbish (bass)-the latter of whom replaced Muzz Skillings in 1992-Living Color has successfully overcome a number of obstacles faced by black rock artists seeking to break into the commercial music industry. The very release of Vivid by Epic Records was one such success. The album quickly hit number 6 on the Billboard 200 . Soon after, MTV picked up “Cult of Personality,” which was awarded both MTV’s Best New Artist Award and a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance in 1989. More than twenty years later, “Cult of Personality” remains immensely popular and has recently featured in the game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock , so now you too can enjoy Living Colour’s experience of having to play a really great song over, and over, and over again.

I'm Jenn White in Washington and today we celebrate Independence Day with a one hour tribute to an original American art form. We call it Red, White and The Blues. Blues music arose from the African American experience in the South. On the farms and in fields, enslaved Black people sang to keep their spirits up, spread the news and sometimes to relay secret messages. In church, they sang gospel music. At work, the blues. Blues music went on to become the basic DNA for jazz, R&B, rock and roll, rap and most every manner of modern music.
