Los Angeles-- Three Miles Davis
alumni will play together at
the Jazz Bakery club in Los Angeles on Feb. 8.
The band, 3 Brave Souls, is made
up of keyboardist John Beasley, drummer Ndugu Chancler and bassist Darryl
Jones. Beasley has composed music in many different jazz styles. Chancler is a funk drummer that has taught
drum classes at USC. Jones was the bassist for the Rolling Stones. Each musician
is well known in the jazz community and now they are coming together to make
new music.
Their sound has been described by critics as “classic jazz
flavorings with contagious penetrating funk grooves with honey-dew sounds of
south soul.”
They released their first album last year but were unable to tour
because Beasley was working on the James Bond Skyfall movie score in Sardinia,
Italy.
Their new take on the music has received good reviews from the jazz media.
“It’s the kind of broadly sourced music that could gain favor
among fans of R&B, neo-soul, smooth jazz and even jam bands. That’s a
compliment,” said Jazz Times Music Critic, Phillip Booth. “They play an eclectic
brand of funk-danceable songs with hypnotic grooves, a soulful stew or a silky
ballad. There’s seldom a dull moment.”
The concert starts at 8 p.m. and tickets
are about $20. For more information, check http://jazzbakery.org
