The UnUrban proudly presents the JAZZ FUNK & ARTS FEST
October 24, 2015, Saturday from 7-10pm, free admission
at 3301 Pico Blvd., Santa Monica, CA  90401, 310-315-0056
In the legendary tradition of the Venice West Café, home of the Beat
Generation in the 60’s, and also Sponto Gallery from 1984-2008;
local Venice musicians and artists will celebrate the rebellious
liberation of creativity. The original Jazz Funk Fest started at Sponto
Gallery in 2005.
Please join us to continue in the tradition of Sponto!
Jazz Funk & Arts Fest is also proud to announce a special addition.
Trish Ellebracht will host a small art show during the fest. People can
view and purchase small works by local artists, photographers, and
painters.
7pm: Rag’n’Bones – Within the free collective RNB (aka Black Shoe
Polish, BSP).  Words that should never be said, collide with notes
that should never be played. Fiery poetic readers Tryg Hanson, &
Rex Butters slap sense into words through multi-dimensional
discourse. Gerry Fialka, Merritt Evan Raff, Alex Soschin & guests
combine fantastical funky sounds from drums, guitars & keyboards in
a cauldron of controlled chaos, creating ink stained improvisational
interplay. Spoken Word and Free Improvisation as it was never
meant to be, Rag’n’Bones reconvenes the Inconceivable with
righteous rascality.
8:30pm: ERIC AHLBERG’S JAZZ WORKSHOP – Lyrical multi-
instrumentalist Ahlberg, along with Sam Clay, Freddie Ginns & Merritt
Evan Raff, recall the explorations of Gil Scott-Heron, Public Enemy,
Hank Williams, The Art Ensemble of Chicago, George Carlin and
John Coltrane with tasty world beat tangents.
