8PM: AVRAM FEFER'S JUBA LEE 4TET Falling on a spectrum between Charles Mingus and Ornette Coleman, along with influences from Morocco and Ethiopia, the music of multi-instrumentalist Avram Fefer involves reconciling cultural influences, especially the long and prolific history of Jewish and African American collaboration in the field of Jazz. His goal is to create an experimental global sound that challenges attitudes and preconceptions about music and community. The Juba Lee 4tet will draw from Avram’s highly acclaimed recent albums - Juba Lee and Testament - bringing to Brooklyn the same sonic excitement they’ve been sharing recently on European Festival stages. The Juba Lee 4tet will make you smile, dance, and scratch your head as they lead you through a diverse set of sophisticated global jazz celebrating Improvisation, Groove, and Liberation in all its forms. Avram Fefer - saxes / Jonathan Goldberger - guitar / Adam Lane - bass / Reggie Nicholson - drums . 9PM: SHRINE FOR THE BLACK MADONNA Shrine for the Black Madonna is a four-piece, Brooklyn-based band that creates a bubbling stew of metallic punk, electrified funk, noise pop, and gritty R&B. Exploring multiple regions of fever-dream music, Shrine4TBM is a party band, a shake-it-til-the-lights-break band, delivering euphoric performances that make audiences howl and move. “Shrine for the Black Madonna is a shot across the bow, the next sound of rock.” – Vernon Reid (founder/guitarist, Living Colour) Jared Hassan Foles - guitars / Brian Tate - vocals / Jairus B. Odums - bass / Gintas Janusonis - drums . 10PM: HONEYCHILD & BIZ (THE 1865) Honeychild Coleman & Biz, of blues-punk super group The 1865. Think “Bad Brains meets Foo Fighters in a black woman’s hair salon for a cup of tea,” and you have the right idea. The Brooklyn duo includes Jason “Biz” Lucas (Dragons of Zynth) with Honeychild Coleman (Apollo Heights/Badawi ) on lead vocals and baritone guitar. Biz and Honeychild will present songs from their debut album “Don’t Tread On We!” and Honeychild Coleman's solo works. Honeychild Coleman - vocals and guitars / Biz - drums
