Ayro vs. Titonton May 7, 2004

($8, $6 with RSVP to [email protected]). Collaborating with the likes of John Arnold and Amp Fiddler, Ayro is the Detroit soul man of the moment, counting Jazzanova and Gilles Peterson among his fans. His most recent exploit, Electroniclovefunk, uses broken beat and nu-jazz to bow at the feats of such predecessors as Roy Ayers, Herbie Hancock, and Stevie Wonder, making tonight's NYC performance way overdue. Titonton's deep electrified funk and catalog of prestigious collaborations make for Ayro's perfect foil. Prep yourself for a heavily varied beat battle of fresh young talent.
