The Scarab Club presents a very special night of live music featuring a rare appearance by His Name Is Alive's Warren Defever performing solo and the extraordinary J Rowe / Jordan Schug Sextet.
[…]Defever started making experimental atmospheric music at age 10 in 1979, long before ambient became a household word. Sitting Still Moving Still Staring Outlooking recorded in his parent's basement on cassette while in high school was featured on 1991's Home Is In Your Head album on the legendary 4AD label and then received gold and platinum records for[…]the movie Jerry Maguire. The same song was later used[…]on American Idol. His Name is Alive[…][has sold] 100,000+ albums
J Rowe and Jordan Schug's Sextet […] debut album (produced by Warren Defever) will be released soon and explores the mostly untapped vein of British progressive jazz groups of the early 70s such as Soft Machine and Ian Carr's Nucleus while staying firmly rooted in the classic sounds of Detroit heroes Marcus Belgrave, Larry Nozero and Lyman Woodard. Expect hot horns and heavy percussion over deep grooves and ambitious arrangements.
