Beaches Jazz Fest aka The Funk Capital of Canada

  Strolling and sometimes struggling along Queen Street East last night for a few miles, it became apparent that  the motions of the day and the trembles of the night alike were arrayed primarily along striations in various outcroppings of funky music.
  Toronto's vintage and emerging artists were showcasing boundless motivation towards dance-mongering from Woodbine to Balsam, and will,again, tonight and tomorrow, absolutely for free. It's ideal!
                                                       
God Made Me Funky

Quality Amounts of Wow Music 2010

catl

Obsessive Compulsive Live Acts:
catl - metaphysical salt and pepper for your crunchy blues chili con carnival. What?
K.C. Roberts and the Live Revolution: High torque levels of fun, funk and fun-goo latte.
Saidah Baba Talibah: That's not a voice, that's a weapon.
Shakura Saidah: The statue of liberty came to life and sang soul blues in an excruciating red dress.
King Achilla Orru: My heart wakes up to the sound of the Lokembe at the Yonge Bloor subway.
Patsy Cline Birthday Party: Grouped annual incandescence of the sultry and the sweet cream of T.O. divas.
Rinse the Algorithm: God's gift to dance-jazz and storm bandits of the passing thought.
The Joyful Sinners, Spandex Effect (above), Jace and Van Dusen: Energy magnifires with true gifts (and prizes).
And they all live and work in Toronto. See them every time!

Today in The Orbit! Find new life in Off-world colonies!


K.C. Roberts Band showed up with trumpeter John Challener and voxistes Angela Wheeler and Kirsten Rea to deliver a live performance of some Funky Nirvana. Swamperella answered
the burning question : crawfish or gumbo? Live from Mardi Gras a waltzy ornamentation of the orbital airspace. David Murray birthday party and adrenaline from Cornelius, Infected Mushroom and J. Moss.
Also: new kd lang, Massive Attack and Elizabeth Shepherd. Worth the trip to Pandora.

Immoderate Orbital Visitations


As promised, if the Orbit is rockin', don't bother knockin'...JUST COME IN!!!
On a musical spree for three hours Friday the 15th, the live-ication to the people of Haiti and a long conversation with Danny Marks opened the show. Danny revisited some high and low spots in his career (turning Robert Plant's amp off at the O'Keefe, learning from Rough Trade's Kevan Staples a secret guy-trick)and he played two songs live, including his tribute to Lonnie Johnson. Then Gary, a First-Nations activist arrived to name names and detail his attempts to find justice for the generations of residential school victims.catl arrived and pivoted the Orbit into a country blues trajectory with a preview of their show at the Silver Dollar; a version of Goodnight Irene drew out the fine vocal contiguity between catl and Sarah. (By way of spreadin' musical rumours....
I went 2C catl on Friday..people were dancing and SNEAKING CIGARETTES in the public darkness and th singer was saying very bad words and singing about death and girls loudly and Sarah had a purple sequin dress like on the cover of NOW spinning in tambourine ecstacy and the drummer went off like a machine gun with a heart.
Very XCITING, RAMJAM and DAM' CLOUDY).
Kiosk ESL students present in the studio were then treated to LIVE Acoustic Funk ( is that even possible? YESSSSSS!) from K.C. Roberts, Melodica Tod and Cajone Chino from Live Revolution.
The show was followed by an interview from Stuart Feedback Andrews with Reverend Ken Arnett, who has produced a documentary on the perfidy of the United Church in its treatment of residential schools. A circular spiritual orbit with jam and sprinkles.
