    NORMAN JAY
    A founding member of London's KISS FM in the mid-eighties, this legendary DJ
    and contemporary of Gilles Petersen, became famous for first coining the
    term 'Rare Groove', after his underground radio show, The Original Rare
    Groove Show. Shortly afterwards he garnered acclaim for his above-ground
    show, The Original Musiquarium U.K.-based Norman Jay brings his Good Times
    Soundsystem to L.A. for a lesson in eclectic, danceable, house and rare
    groove.

    club scene helped him attract the following then unknowns to his world
    famous radio show; Coldcut, Jazzie B. (Soul II Soul), Trevor Nelson, and
    Giles Peterson.

    Be prepared to hear old skool classics mixed with new music and some of the
    earliest House records from Chicago.

    ARLING & CAMERON
    Gerry Arling and Richard Cameron, better known to discriminating pop
    afficionados around the world as Arling & Cameron, already much loved by
    audiences in Japan & Europe, are preparing for the next phase of their
    global takeover with their amazing new project, Music for Imaginary Films.
    As their reputation blossomed the last several years, collaborations with
    the likes of Fantastic Plastic Machine, Pizzicato Five, and Cornelius
    followed. They spent a good amount of 1999 on the road, blowing audiences
    away with their humor, hooks, musicianship, and good looks.

    Music for Imaginary Films is a wonderful array of 'lost' soundtrack songs to
    a variety of fictitious films and television pilots ranging from the fifties
    to the nineties. The songs range from the 70's futuristic disco of "1999
    Spaceclub" to the spy-jazz of "Hashi The Drug Sniffing Canine" to the
    jubilant 60's white bread pop of "W.E.E.K.E.N.D." Enjoy an evening of A&C in
    the flesh.

    TONY ALLEN
    Tony Allen's long awaited new album, "Black Voices", joins the dots between
    the 70's and the millennium. As a drummer, composer and songwriter Nigerian
    born Tony Allen is the living legend of Afrobeat music.

    In the mid-sixties, Tony Allen and "Black President" Fela Kuti invented a
    modern voodoo style, a radical new funky sound they called Afrobeat. A
    blend of jazz and traditional African music, the Afrobeat sound developed
    markedly during their 1969 US tour where they met the high priests of black
    american music (James Brown, Art Blakey, Max Roach...). The result was an
    afrobeat sound that incorporated the funk rhythms of the time. The concept
    of "One idea, one song" was what Fela and Tony learned, this they delivered
    in their new band "Fela Kuti & Africa 70's".

    Tony's influence on Fela's music was profound, in addition to being the lead
    drummer of the band, he was also Fela's musical director, keeping the
    rhythms simple allowing Fela to deliver the message. Tony left Fela in 1977
    and went to Europe to develop new sounds, to confront his music with
    different cultures, and to grow by fellow artists injecting their own
    knowledge through his music. This resulted in the "N.E.P.A." project and
    recording sessions with Roy Ayers, Ray Lema, and Manu Dibango.

    "Black Voices" was recorded in Paris with contributions from Clip Payne and
    Mudbone Cooper (P-Funk Allstars), fench guitarist Seb Martel (Vercoquin,
    Sinclair, Teri Moise) and ivoryan bassist Cesar Anot (Alpha Blondy, Cheikh
    Tidiane Seck). Produced by Doctor L., the acclaimed Parisian
    hip-hopologist, "Black Voices" highlights why Tony Allen is on of the most
    talented African musicians alive.

    From the deep afrobeat trance of "Asiko" to the 70's soul inspired "Get
    Together" Tony Allen travels along the road that has shaped his inner soul.
    The title track "Black Voices" is an Afrodub anthem, "In a Silent Mix" an
    atmospheric dream from the jungle roots. "Ariya", which was released in
    January complete with Catalyst and Jeff Sharel mixes is already a recognised
    dancefloor bomb.

    "Black Voices" is a timeless album, reflecting Tony Allen's music past,
    present and future time. Full of soul, wamth and generosity...This is an
    african world!
