Throwback: Black History Month: Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings

Throwback: Black History Month: Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings @sharonjones

Today is the 23rd day of Black History Month. I tend to use this time as a way to remind readers – and everyone else of a couple of important facts: You can’t love Black artists and their work, and not see them as people  Black lives — and Black art matters  Black culture is American culture  So as we go through the month, I’m going to talk about a collection of Black artists. It’ll be fairly…

Tis the season....

Song of the Day: September 6, 2024

Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings: You’ll Be Lonely You’ll Be Lonely on Amazon Prime Music It’s funky Friday! Continuing my focus on the music of 2014, Give The People What They Want by Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings is the best retro soul album of the year. The formula that Jones and the band follow for this release is the same as for all their recordings – old school soul, gut bucket funk, and…

Say She She Get Funky at Sold-Out Music Hall of Williamsburg on Saturday Night

Say She She – Music Hall of Williamsburg – June 8, 2024

Some things never go out of style, like blue jeans, baseball or funky good times. Say She She brought a whole lot of the latter to Music Hall of Williamsburg on Saturday night, mixing a timeless funk with a modern-day sensibility — and the good times were rolling. The set opened with “Reeling,” the three vocalists — Piya Malik, Sabrina Mileo Cunningham and Nya Gazelle Brown — delivering soulful soprano harmonies while the band thumped a groove behind them, as if Sharon Jones had been reincarnated as three opera singers, former Dap-King Binky Griptite leading on guitar to complete the scene.

Brown exuberantly announced, “We came to make you dance” after the opening tune and it was truth in advertising. The packed house grooved to tunes like “C'est Si Bon,” with its heavy bass disco, and “Prism,” which featured the ladies doing a hip shimmy, one of many choreographed moves that helped get the audience boogying. The straight disco-funk sound evolved a bit as the set went on, a darker feel on “Echo in the Chamber,” some serious rock on “Blow My Mind,” which ended with a spicy solo from Griptite, and a modern synth groove on “Questions.”

A take on the Talking Heads’ “Slippery People” was a perfect fit, giving the band extra room to move and ending in a nifty three-woman scat jam. The trio left the stage to the let the band have their deserved spotlight and then returned in new sparkle-heavy outfits and took back the spotlight, saving some of the best vocals for late-set tunes like “Astral Plane” and the serious clavinet-funk of “Forget Me Not.” Ethereal harmonies, a groove-ready band and a packed-house party in Brooklyn, some things will never go out of style. —A.

New Audio: Dave Guy Shares VIbey and Meditative "Pinky Ring" @bigcrownrecords @grandstandhq @shazi_la @theroots

Raised in the East Village, acclaimed and highly sought-after trumpeter Dave Guy was surrounded by hip-hop and the hustle that seemed to define the city in the 90s. During those formative days, he and his playing style were influenced by the likes of Donald Byrd and Hugh Masekela, but also by A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul.  His time at LaGuardia Performing Arts High School furthered this…
