Nu-Soul Magazine and Nappy Nation team up once again for a monthly exploration of sound and energy at Little Temple.

NAPPY THURSDAY
Thursday January 26, 2012

Featuring performances by...

MUHSINAH

Refreshing, daring and deliberate, Muhsinah’s music has captivated and charmed tastemakers the world over. To experience the sonic tapestries that this classically trained, Washington D.C. native is to behold something truly unique.
Through gripping vocals and thoughtful composition she exhibits her deep understanding and respect for the music that has come before hers. But it’s through her inspired melodies and unconventional approach, that the endearing sense of naiveté and playfulness that permeates her work, is rendered.

Roy Ayers was born in Los Angeles, California and grew up in a musical family. At the age of five, Lionel Hampton gave him his first pair of mallets, which led to the vibraphone being his trademark sound for decades. The area of Los Angeles that Ayers grew up in, now known as "South Central", but then known as "South Park", was the epicenter of the Southern California Black Music Scene. The schools Roy attended (Wadsworth Elementary, Nevins Middle School, and Thomas Jefferson High School) were all close to the famed Central Avenue, Los Angeles' equivalent of Harlem's Lenox Avenue and Chicago's State Street.

Ayers was responsible for the highly regarded soundtrack to Jack Hill's 1973 blaxploitation film Coffy, which starred Pam Grier. He later moved from a jazz-funk sound to R&B, as seen on Mystic Voyage, which featured the songs "Evolution" and the underground disco hit "Brother Green (The Disco King)", as well as the title track from his 1976 album Everybody Loves the Sunshine.

In 1977, Ayers produced an album by the group RAMP, Come Into Knowledge, commonly and mistakenly thought to stand for "Roy Ayers Music Project". That Fall, he had his biggest hit with "Running Away". In 1980, Ayers released Music Of Many Colors with the Nigerian Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti.

Since then, Roy Ayers has toured the world, many times over, released numerous records and had dozens of life changing collaborations. Roy also made a hug impact in the world of Hip-Hop and RnB. Many people have sampled him and covered him. Erykah Badu, Mary J. Blidge, Mos-Def, Digable Planets, DJ Shadow, Nas, Madlib, Ice Cube, Public Enemy, Common, The Pharcyde, Pete Rock, Jill Scott and many many more.

Soul Brother No. 1., also known as, Pete Rock, rose to prominence in the early 1990’s as one half of the critically acclaimed group Pete Rock & CL Smooth. After the duo separated ways, Rock continued with a solo career garnering worldwide respect. Along with groups such as Stetsasonic, A Tribe Called Quest, The Roots and Gang Starr, Nas and Notorious B.I.G., Talib Kweli and the late J Dilla, Rock played a major role in the merging of elements from jazz into hip-hop music (also known as jazz rap). He is widely recognized as one of the greatest hip hop producers of all time and is often mentioned alongside DJ Premier and RZA as one of the strongholds of 1990’s East Coast hip-hop production.

Stephen Bruner is Thundercat, the dominant bassist rising within the ranks of R&B, rock, hip-hop, jazz, electronic and beyond. The mystique behind the man named for his favorite cartoon seemingly hides an introspective, ambitious, and fearless young artist whose solo debut album is finally emerging in front of the vast catalog of experience he has amassed in collaboration with the likes of Erykah Badu, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, Shafiq Husayn, Suicidal Tendencies, Stanley Clarke, and Flying Lotus, his closest partner and head of the Brainfeeder movement. Stephen is joined by a serious cast of jazz cats!

Present
ART + SOUL
Friday October 7, 2011

Nu-Soul continues to take part in the Downtown Los Angeles Renaissance transforming a 100-year old speakeasy in the historic Alexandria Hotel into a unique experience in sight + sound.

Held every other month, ART + SOUL features live performances from cutting edge talent, art exhibitions from a diverse set of local artists, mood enhancing visual projections, and LIVE ART all within the one-of-a-kind setting of The Mezz.

Live Performances By

NOLA DARLING

Hailing from L.A., New York City*slash*Miami...by way of Haiti & St. Lucia, NOLA DARLING's distinct sound is new school fresh, yet old world cool. Tongue in cheek sensibility and spit-fire flows combined with real deal vocal chops and a killer live show make this rapping/ singing duo (yes, both rap AND sing) the new girls you want to get to know.

NOLA DARLING is gearing up for the album release with Hip Hop pioneer/producer/artist, KWAME. Having produced for heavyweights Mary J Blige, Christina Aguilera, Missy Elliot, and many others, KWAME traveled far out his comfort zone (and into the world of ND ) to collaborate and create NOLA DARLING's distinct sound. Blending Afrobeat, Haitian folkloric rhythms, Reggae, Soul, House and Jazz, the highly anticipated upcoming NOLA DARLING x KWAME collaboration is sure to make a lot of noise in 2011.
