Well, I’ve been somewhat dormant for more than a month now, but I assure you that this post will make up for that and then some.

After many, many hours of hard work putting this together, I’m very excited to release this stellar nine-minute multimedia piece of the always amazing Realistic Orchestra performing their killin’ track SR 75 live at the Coda Lounge in San Francisco’s Mission District on February 9, 2010. I really can’t stress enough how incredible it is to witness this much awesomeness live and in person, so make sure to check Coda’s Jazz Mafia Tuesdays schedule for their next performance — it’s a guaranteed WIN every single time!

I’m excited to post this multimedia piece of the Marcus Shelby Quartet with special guest the dynamic Faye Carol performing their MLK and jazz tribute live at the Red Poppy Art House in San Francisco on January 15, 2010. My videos can now be streamed directly to iPhones, and if you have a high bandwidth connection, you should definitely watch the high definition version in full screen mode to see the video in all it’s high resolution glory!

The musicians featured re-arrangements and re-orchestrations of music created during the civil rights movement in celebration of the 80th birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. They explored the jazz, freedom songs, spirituals, and blues-based music that was essential to the success of the movement. The performance also included an interactive discussion by composer/bassist/lecturer Marcus Shelby about the history of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the civil rights movement in general, and the evolution of spirituals, slave songs, work songs, blues and modern jazz. The Quartet also performed original compositions by Shelby which capture the story of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the many important characters who played a critical part in the movement.
