Jay Funk Dawg Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 ~BREAKJAZZ~Friday, Nov. 25th, 2005Gypsy Co-op Jazz Groove Series and Nu Jazz Society PresentsPre-party for Roy Ayers / Jazz by Genre LaunchBreak jazz - live turntablism / live band experienceGypsy Co-op 817 Queen Street West10 PMwww.jazzbygenre.comwww.gypsyco-op.com $10Musicians: Pay What You CanBreakjazz is a recently-defined sub-genre of jazz created by combining an acoustic jazz band with one or more DJs and/or Turntablists who add improvised electronic elements to the musical performance (e.g. scratching, samples, loops, vocals from a CD, vinyl record or other electronic source).In an attempt to further reach younger than traditional jazz audiences, on Friday, November 25th we will be formally unveiling the new sub-genre in jazz called Breakjazz. Looking for musicians to take part with an improvisational band who will 'jam' with a DJ, it's all a part of defining the term 'breakjazz' -the mix of turntablism and live band performance. DJ JTEC (DMC DJ Championship Canadian Finalist) will be the guest DJ, but more Scratch deejays are welcome.Music between sets will be courtesy of DJ Reptile and DJ Shandy playing rare grooves, jazzy soul and party sounds.Members of Chameleon Project, Contact, High Plains Drifter, ex-Stephen Franke, Go man Go and more will be some of the featured musicians.* this show is a fundraiser for the Nu Jazz Society and the Roy Ayers Lauch Party Nov.27 @ The Mod Club.

TheGoodRev Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Oh man, I wish I had seen this thread earlier, I would have been there in a second. I'm committed to the Fatties in Hamtown tonight, though. I'd love to rock the kit on an improv jam with a DJ...any chance of doing more of these, Jaydawg? Is there a communal drum kit happening?

Jay Funk Dawg Posted November 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Communal Drum Kit for the kids!This is an experiment, hopefully it will catch on... we tried for a while to get "Moment" to become a monthly, but shows like this cater the musicians not the fans. Let's hope that this one is a success... come on out you crazy musicians!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmoothedShredder Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Wow, I was truly impressed by how cool this night turned out to be! Thanks to the pride of musicians who came out to make this fundraiser work. We should do this again sooner than later! But probably still in the new year... bus-eh!
