THE DOCTOR'S ORDERS BRIGHTON
Saturday 16th January 2010
Jam, Middle Street, The Lanes, Brighton
Making the trip down from North London for this first party of 2010 is the original funki dread, Soul II Soul’s legendary Jazzie B. With an OBE, an Ivor Novello, 2 Grammys, the freedom of 5 US Cities and 6.8 Million album sales across 35 territories the only thing missing from Jazzie’s CV is a knighthood. This is not bad going for a man who started out life in the music industry as a tea boy. The spark behind all this creativity was the Soul II Soul sound system that he established with the aid of his older brothers that went on to create one of the most legendary parties of all time at Covent Garden’s Africa Centre and in tern the distinctive Soul sound of the UK in the 80’s. Never one to rest on his laurels Jazzie B is still as busy as ever with residencies in London, sets at clubs & festivals around the world and for one special January night with The Doctor’s Orders Brighton.
