About:
Back by popular demand, Revive Da Live announces its highly anticipated upcoming concert, “HIP HOP 1953″, Wednesday, April 29, 2009 at Le Poisson Rouge. Celebrating the 3rd installment of their experimental concert productions, “The Flagship Series,” Revive Da Live seeks to bring people back to the evolution of modern jazz when musicians began to develop new approaches to create some of the best known jazz standards and songs of our time. This concept was created in an effort to bridge the cultural and musical influences of different jazz eras within the influence of hip-hop music. Revive Da Live will present jazz standards from the bebob, hard bop, free Jazz to fusion Jazz era’s. The event features rising jazz and hip hop musicians and special guest MC’s all collaborating and coming together to show appreciation for jazz history within today’s popular music. A collection of songs will be presented from the 1950’s through the 1970’s and as they transition into popular hip hop songs of today. As each song evolves into today’s popular hip-hop version, special guest emcees will join the already stellar band for never before heard interpretations of the material. This show is dedicated to bringing people back to the prominent era’s in jazz history that birthed some of the greatest songs and standards that later inspired some of Hip Hop’s legendary anthems. This show will feature a very special a never before seen live tribute to one of the greatest producers of our time, the legendary Pete Rock.
