May 14th @ The crypt.

Featuring Guest band D&E a new broken beat 7 piece directed and composed by drummer Emmanuel Adelabu. A combination of Old school house grooves, a live horn section and two voices of pure gospel soul this band creates a new fusion of live jazz. Their performance was outstanding and had the crowd sweating from their pulsating rhythmic feel.

The Newly Shaped house band played some of their new material featuring singer Letisha Clarke. Their more laid-back hip hop approach to jazz creates a more chilled vibe, opening the evening with a great variation of soulful grooves. Heavily influenced by artists such as Buckshot Lefonque, J-Dilla, Jamiroquai, and Jill Scott. And in contrast to D&E gave the evening a perfect balance.
