In 1965, he started working with James Brown and became a part of some hit projects like “Cold Sweat”, “Mother Popcorn”, “Lickin’ Stick,” and “The Chicken” in a short period of 4 years. Subsequently he worked with artists like George Benson, Hank Crawford, Esther Phillips, and David Liebman. He later worked with Van Morrison’s band as arranger and music director and fully deserves the credit for major hits of that time. His song with James Brown, “Say It Loud: I’m Black and I’m Proud”, is a source of inspiration for all black people, and truly expresses their mind and heart. The song reflects his self-respect and truly reflects the political and social awakening that started during that time that led them to fight for their basic rights.

“I like to give everyone I meet an interest in real spiritual life. I like people, and try to help them by giving them the same chance I had to hear the instructions of the Vedic scriptures. I feel this is an all encompassing and non-sectarian philosophy that can be practiced by anyone of any culture, as it is based on purely chanting the names of God. I try to make my lectures humorous and applicable. I travel mainly to China, Indonesia, Iran, Russia, Turkey, Armenia, Guyana, Venezuela, Europe and USA, which sounds a lot, but it really is just a drop in the ocean. All is the grace of my spiritual masters, and I hope to always represent them as best as I am able.”

Be prepared to swing to the incredible sax and clarinet playing of Jowee Omicil at the release of his latest CD, “Naked,” at Arts Garage in Delray Beach. Start time is 8 PM. Accompanying Jowee will be Jeff Deen, tabla, halo; Michael Piolet, drums; Ti West, tambour; Carlos Alabaci, bass; and Harold St-Louis- keys/piano

More than a mere player, Jowee is a unique and prolific composer, producer, arranger, vocalist, band leader, and music instructor who has devoted much of his time to passing down his broad knowledge of musicology to students of all ages. On May 18, 2010, Jowee had the honor of being invited to President Barack Obama’s White House to play his music for its inaugural observation of Haitian Flag Day before 150 VIP guests. With his latest release, “Naked”, Jowee offers a work that is steeped in purpose yet listener-friendly and accessible to all. In essence, that is the only way he knows to approach the making of his music.

Says Jowee: “NAKED was recorded at the Riviera area stage theater with the bare minimum. The nakedness invites the listener to participate. I see it as a jazz orgy, where everybody join in. Going forward, setting up your own standards it’s a call and response to my musical ancestors Fela Kuti, Coltrane, Dibango, Toussaint Louverture, Jean Baptiste DuSable, Sonny Rollins, Ornette Coleman, Pharoah Sanders, Kenny Garrett, Branford Marsalis, Kirk Franklin, Kathleen Battle, Luciano Pavarotti …what does that do to the listeners? It invites them to add their grain of salt and join the musical Fest. While listening to NAKED the people will want to jam with the record. This is the purpose of being NAKED musically.”

It’s the continuation of his previous album, “Roots & Grooves,” which was naked too. Jowee is opening a dialogue with music lovers by releasing this Album. “I’m very satisfied with the outcome of this project. May the world face my nakedness,” he says. There is a Gospel medley, performed as a duet with Harold St-Louis, dedicated to his Dad which brings Jowee to his church roots. Ti West on congas/tambour is a master of roots folklore rhythms in Haiti. He’s featured vocally and instrumentally. The eclectic sound of the halo, hapi and the tabla are all played by Jeffrey Deen, who’s an Indian-rooted musician whose performances provide joy to listeners. James Quinlan on bass, Michael Piolet on drums, and Carlos Alabaci round out the personnel, all of whom were under 20 at the time. Jowee loves to promote the younger generation who will be and who are becoming the leaders of today’s scene.

Jowee’s music is steeped in the spirituality set forth by his minister father. “I had the honor of producing music on the very last recording of Haiti’s great Pepe Bayard,” Jowee reflects. “He was dying while we were making that record, but immersing himself in music helped him live a whole lot longer. That’s the power of music… and that’s what I want to bring back. I also want people to DANCE to jazz again. Jazz was once popular music and I want the world to groove once again.”

During the performance, artist Lou-Lou Davila-Hagopian will “paint to music,” with the finished product on display at the conclusion of the performance.

“This young man is a very talented and gifted musician, always in the lab working on his songs and practicing his instrument. He is a person we will be hearing in the future. Keep your ears and eyes open.”
–Kenny Garrett, Musician

Coming to a stage near you! ARTfusion, Delray Inc. is proud to announce the launching of its innovative and interactive program, Theatrical Fusion. Youa re invited to this special kickoff event and reception. Join us for complimentary Wine & Hors d’oeuvres and get to know ARTFusion!

Theatrical Fusion implements improvisational theater techniques to engage audiences and maintain interaction. The program uses the arts as a vehicle for community building, education and social change. Its goal is to provide “edutainment” and help members of the community make choices that will positively impact their lives. Funding for this nonprofit program was made possible through the Love One Another Foundation represented by Cousin’s Law of West Palm Beach.

Twelve performances are now being scheduled ranging from Summer 2013 to Spring 2014, in which participating organizations will have the opportunity to promote their causes. “We bring our actors and plays for free or for a small donation to host sites” Kamysha Martin, Executive Director of ARTfusion Delray, said. “The stage serves a platform for interaction. Each play allows the audience members to be a part of the host’s organization message and/or chime in on the topic”. Organizations are being urged to call and reserve a date as soon as possible for Theatrical Fusion booking. “We are very pleased with the reception of this program, but yes, there are still a handful of more opportunities left on the schedule”, says Ms. Martin.

In partnership with the Global Business Development Center, the program is purposely designed to create jobs by hiring local actors, create social change by discussing serious topics, and assist community partners through community outreach. “We are doing a second round actors call, requesting submission and in person auditions are being scheduled,” Martin said. The program also brings in subject matter experts to facilitate discussion on topics including bullying, cyber stalking, domestic violence, teen dating violence, financial education, substance abuse, teen pregnancy prevention, healthy choices, HIV/AIDS, parenting and topics specific to the aging community and their families.

ARTfusion Delray’s mission is to utilize the ARTS for social change.

Breathe Restaurant & Lounge
401 West Atlantic Ave
Delray Beach, FL

With over twenty years’ experience in the music industry, Grammy-nominated pianist-composer-producer Marlow Rosado has developed a powerful portfolio working with many of the top artists in the Latin recording world. Singing with world-renowned producer Desmond Child has led him to work with major artists such as Alejandra Guzman and Ricky Martin (on Más). With eleven Grammy nominations to his credit, Rosado’s influence in the Tropical genre can be felt on records ranging from Elvis Crespo to Gran Combo.
 
His 2009 debut album, Salsalsa, featuring Andy Montañez, lived at the #1 spot on Puerto Rico’s hottest Salsa station, Zeta 93, for over eight weeks.  His second and latest CD, Retro, (2012) takes some of the strongest songs from the 1970’s, maintaining the essentials of the originals, but metamorphosing them in Marlow’s 21st-century conception until they become entirely his own. The album features guest appearances by Tito Puente, Jr., Ismael Miranda, Bobby Cruz, Papo Lucca, Kevin Ceballo, Marlon Fernandez, Luigi Texidor, Quique Dominich, Salvador Cuevas, and Tony Vega. It has received rave reviews and has made the Top Ten list nationally in its category.

A fun and educational day for the entire family…Come join us for a Civil War Re-enactment
(FREE event sponsored by the American Legion and provided to citizens of the community.)

It is the American Legion Post 65’s honor to provide this historical and educational reenactment.

The men and women taking part in this will provide a historical perspective of what life was like in the civil war camps during 1865. The uniforms, weapons, and utensils are authentic. Members of both the Union and the Confederacy are in role. They will answer questions addressed to them as though you are in 1865. We have also asked our local Boy Scout troop to attend.

Civil War re-enactors will setup their tents and campsite on our property in Delray Beach. They will have 38 people for the event…including a canon! Many are Veterans themselves and they enjoy talking to the kids, plus showing them what it was like to live over 150 years ago.

Total Wine and More–Not Just a Liquor Store

Pretty Poetic Title. Am I right?

Everyone in South Florida knows that Total Wine & More is a great place to shop for Beer, Spirits and Wine. I’d have preferred they called it Total Beer and More, but that’s just me. The variety of products, great prices, regular tastings and knowledgeable, friendly staff are just the beginning, too.

Total Wine offers regular educational opportunities for their customers as well. You know, the fun kind of education. Not geometry and grammar, though those are two of my interests. But I’ll save that for another time. Yes, Total Wine offers beer classes, wine tastings with the actual wine makers, whiskey classes with specialists in the business and everything in between. Got a Tequila fetish? This is your store!

For a nominal fee, usually between $15 and $25, consumers can attend one of these events. They are conveniently scheduled, regular events, too, and often they are happening at multiple locations simultaneously so you have your choice. I’ve personally been to a few of their classes. First, Whiskeys Around the World presented by a Senior Master of Whiskey and more recently one called Bourbon Essentials, in addition to a few beer events which I just assumed you knew. I learned a lot. They were very interesting, fun, nice to meet other people, enjoyable experiences. We were able to sample a variety of products, selected for quality and value, and even get some coupons to use afterward.

My wife and a friend just signed up for a Wine Class called Malbec and Other Sexy Wines of South America. And I heard the store manager just yesterday talking about Single Malt Scotch and Tequila classes coming up soon. With 9 local South Florida stores, you will surely have no problem finding something that interests you too. Pick a store and check out their calendar.

I recently asked Greg Tuttle, Total Wine’s Product Education Manager, based out of their Corporate office in Potomac, MD, a few questions. If you have your own questions, Greg is on Twitter, and he or his staff will be happy to get you some answers about their educational series. Plus he’s pretty cool. You might even bump into him one day. For real, I did. And don’t think I’m being a dick with my questions. I just wanted to play Devil’s Advocate and get the real scoop.

Total Wine's Greg Tuttle and Rob Hill

 

Me: Why go to the trouble of organizing educational classes for your customers? It seems like a lot of work for not a lot of money. Are you just trying to get a few more customers into your store?

Greg: We believe that knowledgeable customers are the best customers. At Total Wine & More, with our wide selection of wines, beers, and spirits, we have an opportunity to engage with customers in educational environments where we can share some of the breadth of our product portfolio. Customers can taste and learn in a relaxed atmosphere, and expose their palates to products and flavors they may never have otherwise tried.

Me: How do you make sure your presenters are ready for an enthusiastic and well-versed audience? What type of training do you make sure your employees or guest presenters have beforehand? How do you ensure they are qualified?

Greg: Indeed our audiences are enthusiastic, but their level of knowledge spans the spectrum from beginner to expert. Thus, we tailor the classes down the middle, so there is something for everybody including tasting a new product they’ve never tasted before, and/or learning something new about wine, beer or spirits that they did not previously know. Our area vice presidents and district managers select the class presenters for each store based on the presenters’ exhibiting core subject matter knowledge and presentation skills.

This is where I tried to zing him, LOL: How do you select the products that will be tasted? Do you just pick a handful of beers that are average and not selling well?

Greg: For beer classes, we first determine a set of class themes for the year, aiming to cover a wide spectrum of customers interests and previous beer knowledge, and then within each theme certain beer styles are selected to match that theme. Beer selections are challenging because availability of beer differs from one state to the next and from one market to another within the state. Typically, class presenters are given a list of beers for each beer style covered from which they can chose what to feature in their class based on availability in their store. They are also allowed to feature locally produced beers that may not be on the list.

Me: Is there anything else about Total Wine’s educational series that you think is very important or interesting?

Greg: Our product education series is constantly expanding and evolving. New classes are introduced each year, while prior favorites are updated and included in the roster. A person who attends each class offered, be it wine, beer, or spirits, will in a year’s time be exposed to an incredibly wide sampling of the varietals and styles available to him/her.

Me (trying for the Krabby Patty Formula): Are there any secret surprises we can look forward to in S. Florida in the coming months?

Greg: No “secrets” up our sleeves right now, but I suggest your readers follow our Twitter accounts (@TWMBeer and @Totalwine) and on Facebook for updates.

Eat, Drink, Reek!
The Delray Beach Garlic Fest is the premier food and entertainment event in South Florida. The Garlic Fest has been featured on the Food Network and in countless national newspapers and magazines.

For thirteen years, the Delray Beach Garlic Fest has been “The Best Stinkin’ Party in Town.” The Garlic Fest was founded by a group of local folks looking to establish a fund-raising source for local non-profit organizations serving education and the arts for youth. That non-profit organization, appropriately named Delray Beach Arts, Inc. has donated over $350,000 and proudly continues to grow its charitable donations each year.

Each year, the Garlic Fest organizers are challenged by the numerous Garlic Heads who attend the event annually with the question, “How are you going to top this year”? This past year they heard that refrain a thousand times after the four hour marathon performance by Dark Star Orchestra and the monumental concert by Blues Legend Buddy Guy! Those of you who attended last years Garlic Fest can attest to those two brilliant performances.

BLP Presents Greenhouse Lounge with Aquaphonics and Sir Charles at Pineapple Groove 7/22/11

BLP Presents…Greenhouse Lounge w/ Aquaphonics & Sir Charles @ Pineapple Groove

Jacksonville’s Greenhouse Lounge (GHL) is hitting Tampa (Crowbar) and South Florida (Tobacco Road & Pineapple Groove) for three dates, supporting the release of their new album, Right On Time. Merging dub basslines and pumping electronica beats with breakbeat dynamics and some subtle guitar axe-wizardry, GHL’s sound has been described as euphoric. Right On Time, exemplifies the different personas GHL has taken over the years while still focusing on their current style. Featuring a total of 7 songs including “Koto” and other GHL staples, the album release coincided perfectly with their impressive set at this year’s Purple Hatter’s Ball at the Spirit of Suwannee Music Park. While multiple genres are touched upon within the album, one theme is current throughout; high energy electronica. The album is available for free on their website and hard copies will be on sale at all of their live shows.

Greenhouse Lounge: Greenhouse Lounge (GHL) is adept at merging rumbling dub basslines with pumping electronica beats, breakbeat dynamics, bright emotional melodies met with smart and staggering sample manipulation, and some subtle guitar axe-wizardry. Their music can been described as euphoric; a hypnotic groove-based sound; tightly woven sonic soundscapes that are rich in melody and texture. Born of the new dawn of live electronica music that almost fuses jam, jazz, funk, breakbeats, as well as live dub step recently. www.GreenhouseLounge.com

Sir Charles: Formerly known as Monozygotik, Charles Weinert has hit milestones many producers only dream to achieve. At the young age of 20, his sound has evolved from a dubstep monster to a far more sophisticated, bass hungry sex beast that thrives on intelligent low end manipulation and melodic over-tones that when meshed with underground and mainstream hip-hop acapellas takes on a life of its own. Playing to sold-out crowds primarily in the southeast and beyond, 2011 is looking to be a huge one for the young prodigy. Charles has shared club gigs with many big players in the electronic game right now including Bassnectar, Big Gigantic, Bonobo, Conspirator, Paper Diamond, RJD2 and more. Recently signing with Eliot Lipp and Old Tacoma Records, Charles is finding himself mentoring under one of his greatest inspirations. Charles will release an EP this Summer, in advance of his dropping his new album this Fall. www.Soundcloud.com/ItsSirCharles

Aquaphonics: Aquaphonics is a uniquely funky electro-soul indie band from South Florida. Derived from friends and jam sessions, Aquaphonics has boasted several different members and worn different skins, yet to this day retains its original, liquid, “Aquaboogie Sound.” The band is comprised of founding members, Jessiah Weston (drums/vocals) and Alan Martinki (keys), who have been melding their music since 2000, along with dynamic guitarist/vocalist Steve Elmore. Their edgy grooves and inspired song writing as demonstrated in their hit cult classics ‘Waiting for It’ and ‘Spooky Beats,’continues evolving and has recently earned them spots supporting Perpetual Groove and The New Mastersounds and a set at Bear Creek Music & Arts Festival. www.aqupahonicsband.com

DJ Craig Heneveld: Sliding his way into the innovative electronic artists coming out of the South is producer and DJ, Craig Heneveld. Craig combines a diligent work ethic in the studio with a passion for igniting the dance floor. Highlights of his career include opening for acts such as Mark Farina, EOTO, Perpetual Groove, BoomBox, Pnuma Trio as well as performing at Underground Sound 5, Trinumeral 2010 and Aura 2010. He is a set break staple for the freshest up and coming acts in the “jam-tronica” scene such as The Malah, Ep3 and Papadosio. If there’s a national jam-tronica act coming through southern Florida, chances are Craig will also be on the bill. Craig’s digital releases can be found under New York Dance music label SYSTEM RECORDINGS which include: Then There Was Single, DEEP LIFT EP, and Dig This EP. Other remixes include: Excess (RPO on Pure Perception Records), a remix of the theme from The Taking of Pelham and a remix of Malah’s track “Yorokobu” (free download). www.DJCraigHeneveld.com

* Papadosio: This Asheville, NC live electronic act recently won a coveted spot on Jam Cruise 2011, solidifying their mainstay in this ever evolving market. Some music because of its originality, timelessness, mass appeal, or perhaps because it is just plain odd, will always be destined for the hallowed halls of cult classicism. No band fits this criteria better than Papadosio. In just four years, Papadosio has wowed crowds from Denver to NYC, Cleveland to Atlanta, shaking the earth at festivals and clubs alike. www.papadosio.com

* The Malah: This Greenville, SC based trio has been captivating ears with their malahdic electro grooves since December 2003. In an over-saturated “jam” market, The Malah are making their mark with finely-structured music that remains fluid and open to interpretation. By mixing rich, earthy atmospheres with electrifying rhythms, the Malah explore the meeting point of cutting-edge technology and ancient musical theory. The band has been making a serious impression on the jam-loving scene in the South and beyond by constant touring as well as hitting the festival scene with a vengeance. A Malah set will take listeners on a journey from beginning to end and their live shows are a spectacle not to be missed. www.themalah.com

*Lingo: Hailing from Marietta, Georgia, Lingo has been turning heads in the southeast for over two years. With their infectious blend of songwriting and jam, they continue to blossom into one of the premier live acts in the region. With their debut album released in January 2009, recorded by Athens producer, John Keane (Widespread Panic, R.E.M, B-52′s, Indigo Girls…Etc), with a guest appearance by Randall Bramblett, Lingo will continue to rapidly grow into a funky force to be reckoned with. Lingo garners a sound that remains un-definable, yet recognizable. Whether it is the mixture of the subtle acoustic guitar accompanied by the flair of the electric guitar, the unique vocals that capture your attention, or the prominent bass and percussion that add their own signatures to the Lingo sound, it is clear that Lingo’s music has tapped into something unique and special. www.LingoMusic.net

*Aquaphonics: Aquaphonics is a uniquely funky electro-soul indie band that is quickly gaining steam in their native South Florida. Derived from friends and jam sessions, Aquaphonics has boasted several different members and worn different skins, yet to this day retains its original, liquid, “Aquaphonics Sound.” The band is comprised of founding members, Jessiah Weston (drums) and Alan Martinki (keys), who have been melding their music since 2000, along with dynamic guitarist Steve Elmore and bassist Jim Dinsmore. Their edgy grooves and inspired song writing continues evolving and has recently earned them spots supporting Perpetual Groove and a set at Bear Creek Music & Arts Festival in November. www.aquaphonicsband.com

* DJ Craig Heneveld: Sliding his way into the innovative electronic artists coming out of the South is producer and DJ, Craig Heneveld. Craig combines a diligent work ethic in the studio with a passion for igniting the dance floor. Highlights of his career include opening for acts such as Mark Farina, EOTO, Perpetual Groove, BoomBox, Pnuma Trio as well as performing at Underground Sound 5, Trinumeral 2010 and AURA 2010. He is a set break staple for the freshest up-and-coming acts in the jam-tronica scene such as The Malah, ep3 and Papadosio. If there’s a national jam-tronica act coming through southern Florida, chances are Craig will also be on the bill. www.djcraigheneveld.com.

Short Straw Pickers at Hurricane Bar and Lounge 11/23/10

Short Straw Pickers @ Hurricane Bar & Lounge

If ever there was a band to come out of the gate swinging, it is the Short Straw Pickers. Whereas most bands have their debut in a bar or at a party with 15-20 of their friends, the Pickers had their unforgettable first performance at the 200+ seat concert hall at Lynn University to a packed house. Jack has fronted the very popular local band Cypress for the past 3 years, developing a loyal following and a solid reputation as a gifted songwriter; Corey shares leadership roles in South Florida’s premiere Dead tribute band Crazy Fingers; Carl has played with numerous projects and is highly regarded in South Florida as one of the best fiddle players to grace the area. When these guys got together, backed by the solid young rhythm section of Jeff on bass and Joel on drums (both on scholarship at Lynn University), the magic was obvious. Micah filled out the final aspect of the sound on Dobro and Banjo, giving the pickers a sound that is at once familiar, yet unique and original. They come to every show in shirt and tie, with professional attitudes, and great respect for the craft, for fellow musicians, and with a thirst for making music for as many people as they can get in front of. www.theshortstrawpickers.com
