When you combine a tight groovin' rhythm section, sweet horn lines, and an amazing guitar player player who plays with honest to God soul, you've got yourself a solid winner when it comes to entertaining a crowd.

Complex or simple, Williams's lines become funk chops, picking up speed one minute and slamming a 180 on a dime the next with the "Projekt" backing it up all along and enhancing the ride. The band describes it as "a soulful ensemble of jazz, on a melodic R&B vibe, laced with a grooved down hip hop back beat."

Her widely praised 2006 album "In the Eyes of Strangers" fulfilled the rock 'n' roll essence that Ferrick has long harbored and drawn inspiration. But just when it seemed she would take a hard plunge into a more layered, instrumentally diverse sound, she returned to the studio to produce perhaps her most intimate, stripped-down album to date, her ninth studio effort "Goodbye Youth."

Glen Allen, VA 23059

The concert starts at 8:00 PM; doors open at 7:30 PM.
$10 advance; $12 door; children 12 and under admitted free of charge; teens 13-18 admitted at half price.

Klezm’Or’Ami’m plays Klezmer music, dance party music with a Jewish soul. It started in Eastern Europe in the last century when small groups of wandering musicians – usually clarinetists, trumpet players and violinists – traveled from village to village, playing for both Jewish and non-Jewish events and audiences.

Klezmer arrived in America beginning in the early 1900’s and adopted a few of the customs of its new homeland, most notably, the piano. Klezmer went on to influence early jazz. The opening of Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” is a straight klezmer riff for clarinet. “When the Angels Sing” is based on a classical klezmer tune called “A Quiet Bulgur.”

DJ Williams Projekt @ Cafe Diem

10 Dec 2008 02:30:00 GMT

Cafe Diem
600 N. Sheppard St.
Museum District
Tuesday, December 9, 2008, 9:30pm – 12am

When you combine a tight groovin' rhythm section, sweet horn lines, and an amazing guitar player player who plays with honest to God soul, you've got yourself a solid winner when it comes to entertaining a crowd.

Complex or simple, Williams's lines become funk chops, picking up speed one minute and slamming a 180 on a dime the next with the "Projekt" backing it up all along and enhancing the ride. The band describes it as "a soulful ensemble of jazz, on a melodic R&B vibe, laced with a grooved down hip hop back beat."
