Curtis Mayfield's Superfly
Friday April 7, 2006 at 10:00pm

Seattle, Washington Get Directions

Admission: $6
Type: Curtis Mayfield Cover Band
Notes:
If you haven't heard this album yet you are missing out on one of the most influential and ground breaking contributions to soul ever! Curtis Mayfield's masterful soundtrack to the 70's "Blaxploitation" film classic Superfly has survived after decades where other sounds, styles, artists, and philosophies have come and gone. Out measuring the movie it was written for in both depth and quality, Curtis' songs
overflow with vibrance, groove and message that is hard hitting yet soft spoken. Driven by a powerful rhythm section and embellished with masterfully arranged horns and strings this music transports you into a time and space that is not only the world of drugs, crime, hustle and survival in 1970's inner cities but also the common trials and tribulations that we still face today. Curtis Mayfield's voice cuts through to the truth of these struggles and uplifts one's hope of overcoming demons all at the same time.

This performance is a rare chance to see this timeless music performed live with some of Seattle's finest musicians (Members of Digable planets, Maktub, Skerik's Syncopated Taint Septet, Crack Sabbath, Atma, etc....). Join us for a tribute to one of the all time great artists of Soul music and a spirited musical experience that will get your booty shaking!
