BRILLIANT CORNERS
JAZZ CONCERT
JUNE 2ND DOORS OPEN @ 2PM

WITH PERFORMANCES BY:

Omar
England’s Nu-Soul legend was the major influence for the America’s Neo Soul movement of the late 90’s. Notable artists such as D’Angelo, Erykah Badu, Maxwell, and Jill Scott all claim Omar as a major influence. His distinct bass laden melodies make his groove unmistakably OMAR and undeniable.

Taylor McFerrin
Taylor McFerrin has sustained an major buzz in the Future Soul scene ever since his 2007 EP "Broken Vibes" gained heavy rotation by DJ's such as Benji B, Gilles Peterson and Garth Trinidad. His musical style is equally influenced by the legends of 60's / 70's soul and the kings of the Modern Beat Generation. Taylor's first full length LP, titled "Early Riser" is due out on Flying Lotus' Brainfeeder Record Label, Fall 2012.
