Friday Midnight
October 23rd
“On Ka'a Davis (everything) and his band of musical magicians!!"
A Special Midnight Concert to celebrate On's two new releases on Live Wired and Tzadik. Celebrating two new releases by this cutting edge artist.
SEEDS OF DJUKE on LIVE WIRED
Drawing inspiration from the outer realms of Blackness, On Ka'a channels Sun Ra, P-Funk, Hendrix, Fela Kuti and more into the squat politics of the East Village basement jam. Accompanied by a wild array of stylish zanies, freedom rings with poetry, polyrhythmic complexity and primal passions. Another world never imagined possible from the undying, ever growing counter culture crucible of Downtown New York.
(Seeds of Djuke is)...an astonishing disc...a spellbinding suite...the originality of the grooves is overwhelming...every inside and outside notion of a century of African American music is embodied in this sound. Davis succeeds throughout in articulating the free, funky spirit...My favorite album of the year so far.
David Dacks - Exclaim! magazine, Ontario
...one of the freshest, most vibrant and enchanting space/rock/funk/jazz/exotic gems of the year!
Downtown Music Gallery NYC
...coming from the past, it reaches to the present through an unidentified pathway....rhythms so that they become both danceable and disorientating, uncompromising in their entanglement, Davis has asserted a creative personality that is his and his alone. Davis stands resolutely in this continuum and he also transcends it...it is one that is both deep inside the jazz tradition and outside it...
Kevin Le Gendre - Jazz Album of the Month
On Ka'a Davis is easily a seductive musical genius. The artistry, the undulating beat of drum...are brilliantly crafted...Part jazz, rock, Spanish, afrobeat, funk, and a whole lot of complex unstructured instrumentation make On Ka'a Davis a renowned eccentric.
Echoes magazine UK
Davis has written a fascinating group of songs that are funky, improvisational and...free jazz styles...the songs retain an engaging groove that keeps (his music) accessible.
