Ghost-Note, the percussion-based jazz-funk ensemble, will play Heist Brewery and Barrel Arts on April 7th and 8th as part of a nine show trek across much of the Southeast. They’ll be supported by Seattle-based instrumental soul-jazz outfit Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio and one of the world’s most accomplished turntablists, DJ Logic.
Headed by Snarky Puppy’s multi-Grammy award winning percussion duo of Robert “Sput” Searight and Nate Werth, Ghost-Note is an expansive roster of next-level musicians that includes bass player Dwayne “MonoNeon” Thomas and musicians representing members of Prince, Snoop Dogg, Erykah Badu, Herbie Hancock, Kendrick Lamar, Marcus Miller, Toto, and more.
The band has continually pushed funk music into the future, building on the uplifting, pioneering foundations laid out by the likes of James Brown and Sly & The Family Stone all while infusing their fresh take with tastes of Afrobeat, Hip-Hop, Psychedelia, World music, and more.
Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio (DLO3) return to Charlotte after playing to a packed crowd at Free Range Brewing in April of 2019. Off the heals of their sophomore LP I Told You So, which debuted #1 on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz charts its first week, DLO3 continues to pick up steam from a successful debut album and European tour in 2019.
Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio conjures the smoky 1960s jazz stylings of Jimmy Smith and Baby Face Willette, and the snappy soul strut of Booker T. & The M.G.’s, The Meters, Dr. Lonnie Smith, and Charles Earland. Within the trio’s distinct jazz stew, are also dashes of Motown, Stax Records, blues, and cosmic Jimi Hendrix-style guitar. It’s an aesthetic that only these three could muster, as these are the sounds and vibes imprinted in the trio’s DNA.
DJ Logic – The theorem of turntablist as musician has been long proven in the capable hands of DJ Logic, whom with jazz as his foundation has become a wax innovator by crossing genres and mixing his sound across the map. As one of the world’s most accomplished turntablists, DJ Logic is widely credited for introducing jazz into the hip–hop realms and is considered by most as a highly-respected session musician and an innovative bandleader.
Since his emergence in the early nineties amidst the Bronx hip-hop scene, the New York City based deejay has been amassing a veritable mountain of collaborations, including a full-fledged band with members of Blues Traveler (The John Popper Project ft. DJ Logic), a trio with Steve Molitz & Freekbass (Headtronics), a jazz project with Georgian prodigy Beka Gochiasvili, and as a member of Grammy-winning Arturo O’Farrill & The Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra’s The Offense of the Drum album.
He also has a long list of other collaborations with artists ranging from the likes of Bob Weir, John Mayer, Medeski Martin and Wood, Christian McBride, O.A.R., Carly Simon, Marcus Miller, Jack Johnson, Vernon Reid, Warren Haynes, Charlie Hunter, Jack DeJohnette, Ben Harper, Mos Def, The Roots, Bernie Worrell, Bill Laswell, Melvin Gibbs, Fred Wesley, Sean Kuti and many more.
