BLU BEATZ LIVE ON STAGE April 16, 2006

BLU BEATZ

Not content with just occupying the later part of Sunday nights, WickedJazz sounds have extended their long jazzy arm to also fill early Sunday evenings. On Stage is a new weekly concept which includes live bands and artists. Funk, jazz and soul sounds mix together with hiphop, break beats and nu-jazz. Two young jazz musicians (Tony Roe & Bob Roos) bridge the gap between dance-music and contemporary jazz. They play without a DJ but retain the Phil Spectre wall-of-sound by using acoustic instruments in an electronic setup. This enables them to creatively recombine jazz, hip-hop, funk, Latin, house, drum&bass, dancehall and other styles into very danceable live music. You will be amazed about the scope and flexibility of the sounds produced by this duo of a drummer and a keyboard player/sound designer. But, that's not all. Blu Beatz can expand to form a whole band with the addition of talented soloists. Tonight they will be joined by Bernice on vocals.
