Upcoming Events
Three Miles Davis alumni and funk-feel-freaks, keyboardist John Beasley, master drummer Ronald Bruner Jr, and groovemeister bassist Darryl Jones join forces to form 3 Brave Souls and baptize classic jazz flavorings with contagious and penetrating funk grooves with honey dew sounds of southern soul. Jumping into the box are soul songstress Nayanna Holley and cosmic improviser Dwight Trible.
Grammy-nominee John Beasley started his music career touring with Freddie Hubbard for 8 years and with his garage band (Vinnie Colaiuta+John Patittuci). At 28, Miles Davis took him on tour. Beasley went on to perform and record with Steely Dan (MD), Dianne Reeves, Christian McBride, Chaka Khan, Kenny Garrett, LA Philharmonic, and James Brown’s final LA concert, to list a few. Beasley brought Ndugu and Darryl together to form 3 Brave Souls, writing five songs, two with soul songstress Sy Smith.
Groovemeister of the highest order, bassist extraordinaire Darryl Jones has been omnipresence in high-profile jazz, pop, and rock gigs, including 5 years with Miles Davis, Rolling Stones since 1993, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Sting, Eric Clapton and Peter Gabriel. This personal project 3 Brave Souls feature Jones’ compositions and his husky vocals.
