Starting Wednesday, July 21st, 2010 Mixmaster Massey is Launching a new weekly night of sophisticated fun in Downtown LA. “Jazz Tonic” is a night of jazz in all it’s forms.
Cool Jazz, Acid Jazz, Jazzy House, Jazz Funk, Jazzy Soul, Latin Jazz, Abstract Jazz, Jazz Fusion, Jazzy Hip Hop, Jazzy D&B and…
This night is a “Top Shelf” collaboration of artists, bringing together a diverse groups and individuals with an ear for quality music and on this night the music is Jazz! We are really looking forward to having down some of the top shelf Tastemakers/Selectors in the City of LA and beyond, getting them to dig out their Jazz collections for an appreciative crowd of true music heads. Along with guest DJ’s, Jazz Tonic will host weekly guest Poet’s/MC’s who are at the top of their game to tastefully shine on the mic. However we don’t stop there…
Each week we will try to bring you talented Jazz Musicians and occasionally full Jazzy Groups to perform alone and with the DJ and Poet/MC. This is where the magic happens! Thankfully if you can’t make it in person, the whole night will be streamed live on the web through Astronaut Disco on U-Stream. Both audio and video from the night will be broadcast live and available later for viewing. Below is the link.
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/astronaut-disco
Additional to all of this we will also have “Jazz Inspired” projections going the entire evening curated by different visual artists and personalities. Special thanks to Benjiman and his outfit for helping out with the video!
As if this weren’t enough the drink specials are all night long and are AMAZING!
$3 Stella Artois!
$4 Well Cocktails!
The Broadway Bar itself is a gorgeous venue, a bit of a time machine taking you back to a Los Angeles that disappeared long ago. Deep rich wallpaper and wood, a unique and beautiful bar, Dark, moody lighting, even the Upholstery is cool. You are going to love this place.

Unique74 Remembers… GENE PAGE | NARAS HONOR NOMINATION | PLEASE SUPPORT
When you ask the average person, who is GENE PAGE? Many will not have a clue. But if you ask any great musician or authentic music fan, there will be high praise. He truly was one of the major innovators of THE LOS ANGELES SOUND. Having arranged and produced many great artists such as Dobie Grey, Barry White, The Jackson 5, Pop, Soul and Country..Mr Page was truly a gem that set a platform of excellence and richness in sound that has yet to me matched to this day. I had the honor of doing a session at the legendary Sunset Sound in Hollywood and I just so happen to be sitting in the conductor’s chair. My Mentor and Hero, the great WAH WAH WATSON looked at me said “this chair is very special, this was the chair that belonged to Gene Page“. I’d never seen a room become so quiet in my life, it was like a spell had taken hold on all of us when his name was mentioned.
Mr Page has been recently considered for a NARAS Trustees Award in his honor. Please Support! He truly deserves it, for his work is a lifetime testimony of enrichment and excellence.

courtesy of STUBASS (Soulful Detroit)::
I was recently contacted via musician-producer David Paich informing us that a nomination has been submitted to NARAS in an effort to honor the late legendary arranger-producer Gene Page with a NARAS Trustees Award. Los Angeles based (via Detroit) and well respected musician-arranger Sylvester Rivers is leading this effort, which has been supported by a who’s who of music industry leaders, from David Foster, Dionne Warwick, Tom Scott, Bruce Miller, and many many more. I spoke with Sylvester yesterday, and offered my enthusiastic support for this most well deserved recognition for Gene Page.
www.sylvesterrivers.com
Gene Page, as many of you know, was the musical inspiration behind those beautiful arrangements for artists such as Barry White, Laura Brannigan, Michael Jackson, many Motown and Solar Records projects, along with an impressive list of top performers from the 60′s, 70′s and 80′s. In addition to his musical virtuosity, Gene was always willing to help his fellow musicians, and served as a mentor to many of todays contemporary producers and arrangers.
I would urge you all to take a few minutes and drop an e-mail to Jennifer Dugas at NARAS in support of this most well deserved recognition.

Classic “Jet Set” LA in the 70′s..
“MELINDA” w/The Great Calvin Lockhart portraying the Legendary ChIef Rocker Frankie Crocker (MY HERO!), little known fact. I believe this was around the time of Frankie’s brief run in LA when he was on KJLH.
Guess who’s the drummer?
