Guest DJ Set @ Jazz Is Dead – August 15, 2018

JazzIsDead2

It was an absolute honor playing records in front of a large and enthusiastic crowd at the fifth edition of Jazz Is Dead here in Los Angeles. As I’ve told some of my friends, being able to spin at a night like this is a total dream. The whole series, put on by Art Don’t Sleep, feels like it’s been personally curated for me and the line-up this particular night was just amazing. Sharing the bill were DJs Wyldeflower and Expo, there was an exceptional “jazz” set from Dan The Automator (of the five I’ve seen, I think his was the best) and a performance from master drummer Tony Allen with LA beatmakers Ras G, Swarvy & Nelson Bandela fka Norvis Jr. I loved every minute of it, and every minute getting this set together, which features a number of jazz and jazz-funk tunes that have been sampled, as well as some deep cuts from Brasil & Cuba, and a few other funky things that fit the vibe of these Jazz Is Dead concerts and that I really wanted to hear on a loud sound system. Hope you enjoy and keep an eye out for more of these concerts as they expand outside of LA to other cities!
