Amazing show at LPR for Winter JazzFest.

Bilal performed 3 sets with the Revive Band who played beautifully. 

A solo from saxophonist Tia Fuller (who tours with Beyonce) 

was also a big highlight of the night. 

We were able to sneak up front and greet Bilal when he came in 

and he was smooth as usual!

This entire mixtape from Moruf is amazing 
and this single Homie.Lover.Friend is starting to get that buzz

"Meet Milo & Otis. Upon first meeting as freshmen at Brown University, Milo & Otis discovered their shared passion for music-making and live performance. They decided to let that shit marinate for five years before moving to Chicago and cooking up their first EP (Holiday!) in December 2011. Since settling in the Windy City, Milo & Otis have made a name for themselves in the up-and-coming music scene. Milo plays poetry & loop machines. Otis quite literally plays everything, especially bass. After seeing M&O live shows, fans marvel at how such massive sound could possibly come from such skinny people. Fans also claim to experience what they call “feelings” and often describe said “feelings” as intense, visceral, and chest-quaking.

What’s most unique about Milo & Otis is their imagination. Most bands play all of what they intend listeners to hear on their record. M&O only record half of what they write, and expect fans to recreate the hidden parts in their heads. Sort of like a mental math problem made of sugar, except without the math part. Simply put, Milo & Otis are adventure soul music: a road trip for your mind, a whizzing subway car for your heart, and sometimes even a party limo for your tuckus."

Looking forward to catching this band perform live!

the Revive Big Band

The musical styles, experience, and tastes of Revive’s members vary widely, but their collective mission is the same. “We’re carrying on, within the tradition of big bands, what would be relevant today,” bandleader Igmar Thomas says. “[We're] modifying the message and making it translatable, accessible to the people, so that they have something relevant to grasp on to. It represents that little bridge.”

Revive’s repertoire is an authentic gumbo, featuring original compositions by Thomas, as well as epic orchestrations of selected productions from different producers and notable hip-hop songs combined with the original sampled jazz record, all re-imagined and arranged into original works for a big band.”Our voice is one that has a foot deeply placed in the jazz roots and the tradition of that, à la Dizzy Gillespie and Count Basie – but also, another foot deeply invested in 2012, and so on. That’s the direction: Dizzy, Dilla, and us,” declares Thomas.

blessed to have my Mother, Grandmother, Cousin, and Aunt pass great items on to me

It has been freezing in the NYC Metro area

Why not bundle up with this hot trend - Faux Fur!

It's cute, keeps you warm, and you can dress it up or down.

You can purchase one of these coats at your local 

thrift/vintage store for around $50 or 

just scavenge around your mother or grandmother's closet

We are all about fun and interesting ways to enjoy Happy Hour and this definitely fits the criteria. If lobster rolls and crab cakes are your thing then look no further than this new location for Lobster Joint over on Houston! (next to Katz’s).

The popular Rockaways sensation has ample space, with picnic tables, whitewashed walls, and natural light streaming in from the skylight above. Lobster rolls are signatures, made in two styles: warm Connecticut, or New England with herb mayo. There are plenty of alternative rolls too, from clam to crab to crispy oyster. 

We also warmed up from the cold with a delicious bowl of chowder

And what’s even better their happy hours let us enjoy much of that seafood for cheap. How cheap? We’re talking $1 oysters and $4 lobster, oyster and crab cake sliders. Couple that with $4 cocktails and beers and you’ll be seafood/alcohol drunk before you know it.

If you're in the LES and want a good, generously filled lobster roll, stop by here. There's a solid selection of beers to complement the rolls, and the rolls themselves are the perfect way to get your lobster fix. Can't beat this happy Hour!

Also, don't forget to order up their famous Bloody Marys (They are very photogenic!) complete with lobster claws in the glass. My first time drinking a bloody mary was at this location and I enjoyed it. It's a bit spicy, but definitely worth a try.
