WorldBeat Center presents : "Bujo" Kevin Jones and 10th World
Worldbeat center presents "Bujo" Kevin Jones and 10th World Date: Fri, August 22nd Time: Doors open at 8 pm Venue: World Beat Cultural Center 2100 Park Blvd. San Diego, CA More Info: Call The WorldBeat Center at 619-230-1190 Email: events@worldbeatcenter.org Presenter Website: www.WorldBeatcenter.org Press Contact: Jesse Graham 619-230-1190 Artist's Bio: Bujo, a percussionist and leader in the ancient future mode, is heavily steeped in the ancestral spiritual traditions of the drum, while at the same time, thoroughly modern in his approach to music. A native of Englewood, New Jersey, Jones grew up in a household immersed in jazz, from Charlie Parker and Grant Green to John Coltrane, along with the pop and R&B legends of the times. Jones traces his percussion expertise to the age-old 'academy of the streets.' Over the years he has evolved an increasingly comprehensive approach to his instruments, commanding respect on stages ranging from the Isley Brothers to Whitney Houston to Winard Harper to such intricate avant jazz legends as Reggie Workman.
