The Soul of John Black Plays Sullivan Hall Tomorrow Night, May 14th (John Bigham)

STREAM: The Soul of John Black - Live on KCRW's Morning Becomes Electric

The Soul of John Black Plays Sullivan Hall on May 14thFormer Fishbone guitarist and Miles Davis sideman John Bigham is back with his third CD under "The Soul of John Black" moniker. The new disc, Black John, was released earlier this year and here is a snippet from the Washington Post's review of the disc:

Incantatory funk choruses abound, while "I Knew a Lady" gets a lift from a propulsive go-go beat, and mid-tempo workouts like "Better Babe" and "Push Into the Night" veer in the direction of rock. For all its grit and groove, though -- the arrangements on a couple of tracks here hint at the freakadelic soul of Gnarls Barkley -- the record ends with a pair of sublime ballads, the second of them, "Thinking About You," graced with lilting filigrees of West African-style guitar.
The Soul of John Black are playing a long set tomorrow night at Sullivan Hall. The show starts at 9:30PM and tickets are $15.00.
