John Palowitch featuring Kool AD
November 14 @ 9:00 pm - 11:30 pm
$15
San Francisco saxophonist and composer John Palowitch teams up with Oakland underground emcee Kool A.D. (formerly of Das Racist) at Mr. Tipple’s Recording Studio. Frequent collaborators in drummer Thomas Pridgen’s jazz/hip-hop collective BIG TRIPPIN, the pair is backed by a powerhouse rhythm section featuring keyboardist Kevin Person Jr., bassist Tonko, and drummer Jaycie Grady. Palowitch layers effected alto saxophone lines, atmospheric textures, and alt-rock sensibilities over heavy boom-bap and modern groove pockets, providing a dynamic sonic canvas for Kool A.D.’s signature surrealist, stream-of-consciousness rhymes. The performance bridges contemporary jazz improvisation and raw hip-hop lyricism in an intimate cocktail lounge setting.
Tickets: $15-30
Two Shows: 9pm and 10:30pm
