ACID JAZZ REVOLUTION
10/24/95
BimboÕs 365 Club, 1025 Columbus Ave
Tickets: $18 general

Catch the cutting edge as the hippest genre-blenders of the acid jazz scene transform the city's most traditional supper club into a hothouse of funky beats, hip-hop rhythms, and provocative raps colliding with straight-ahead jazz performed by four acts from San Francisco's own Ubiquity Records. Light-design guru Glenn McKay will perform an appropriately "trippy" light show.

For the past six years, Ubiquity has been bringing the underground to light by documenting the daring fusions taking place at alternative clubs around town. On more than 50 recordings, Ubiquity artists such as Slide 5, Rhythm Section, Ping Pong, Sweet Potato, the Mock Quintet, Jacko Peake, and Sharpshooters have fused the art of jazz with the beat of the street. In addition to single artist recordings, Ubiquity has made its mark through crucial compilations like "Home Cookin'," "Mo' CookinÕ," "Still Cookin'," "Explorations 1 ... Into Dancefloor Jazz," and "Is That Jazz?"

For one memorable night, acid jazz avatars New Legends, Better Daze, Kelly Huff and DJ Grey Boy - in his first San Francisco appearance - will rock BimboÕs 365 Club with the sound of the future.
