![]() ![]() ![]() When it comes to jazz and the blues, Long Beach has hosted the best of the best: from Chuck Berry to James Brown, Buddy Guy to the Blues Brothers Band, Gladys Knight to The O’Jays…Įven our university, CSULB, became the first four-year university in the nation to offer a B.M. The rising tide of live music invading Long Beach-largely led by programs like Live After 5 and a deepened interest in live music-harkens to the days when Jazz Safari, Vault 350, and the Arena regularly hosted local and international musicians of the highest caliber. This attention to jazz makes sense since Long Beach is steeped in jazz history. To top it all off, the Breakers-closed for a while due to a renovation-is now being opened to the public to unveil its new design. We also have a separate room for spoken word artists, a movement that parallels the foundations of jazz.” The same goes for DJs NiceGuyxVinny and Eusebio Akasha, who often spin jazz-inspired hip hop and funk. Katalyst is the epitome of jazz and hip hop they’re an Inglewood-based group of young jazz musicians who have played with esteemed musicians, such as Roy Hargrove, Anderson Paak, and even Kendrick Lamar. “Jungle Fire reflects jazz in funk and afro-beat, Tiffany Gouche in neo-soul/R&B, Black Noise in rock/R&B, and Bootleg Orchestra in soul/pop. Spoken word artists will include Shy but Flyy, The Loneliest Casanova, Jragonfly Jon, Nerd, and Micah Bournes. Joining them will be The Black Noise, Katalyst, Bootleg Orchestra, Eusebio Akasa, and NiceGuyxVinny. That lineup will feature headliners Tiffany Gouche and Jungle Fire. “It’s just being manifested in so many different new and exciting sounds of today and I like to think we have the full spectrum in this lineup.” ”There is a misconception that jazz is dead but it is alive and well,” said Menchie Caliboso, curator for this month’s Live After 5. The Mariners have no obvious answer at first in 2018, and will now get Alonso for a 2 month try out.We’ve got a whole new vibe coming to our free live music series, Live After 5, as it takes over the historic Breakers Building come March 10 from 5PM to 11PM.ĭubbed Neo Soulstice, this month’s event is set to spotlight the impact jazz has made one contemporary music and artists-and also marks our first guest curators for Live After 5, Menchie Caliboso and Tokotah Ashcraft. Alonso is a rental, as he will enter free agency after the World Series. This is one of the rare deals where Dipoto has sacrificed club control for a short term game. Next: Mariners forced to find new help with Felix on DL The Mariners also have young outfielders quickly approaching the big leagues in Ian Miller and Braden Bishop. Unfortunately for Powell, the M’s simply did not have a spot for him, being stuck behind Leonys Martin, Ben Gamel, Guillermo Heredia, Jarrod Dyson and Mitch Haniger. Powell was smashing AAA pitching, and appears ready to stick in the big leagues long term. Powell has appeared in 23 games for the Mariners in 2017. In exchange for Alosno, Seattle sent AAA outfielder Boog Powell. 297/.368/.556 against lefties.Īlonso also provides some insurance in case the 37 year old Nelson Cruz needs a day off or misses time with a myriad of injuries he has accrued. This makes sense, as Valencia is slashing. The simplest idea is that Alonso will platoon with current Seattle first baseman Danny Valencia. Where Alonso slides into the lineup is a bit unknown at this point. Those numbers are even better in 2017, where he is slashing.
