"Tribute to Prince" with Kev Choice Ensemble (Event Over)

Pianist-emcee Kev Choice leads his 10-pc. outfit — the Kev Choice Ensemble — through the aural equivalent of a master class in African American music. This enormously talented unit lays down symphonic slap, furious funk, sweet soul, jumpin’ jazz, and hype hip-hop (with a conscious lyrical twist).
Consisting of some of the hottest up and coming musicians/artist and producers in the Bay Area, The Ensemble is a force to be reckoned with. Local Jazz powerhouses Howard Wiley, Geechi Taylor, and Charlie Coop hold down a formidable horn section, Howard having released his own critically acclaimed projects over the last couple of years. Former Berkelee School of Music student, Viveca Hawkins, who has collaborated with the likes of SoulLive, Blackilicious, and Goapele, adds her distinctive soulful vocals that blend seamlessly with the powerful sound of the Ensemble. Hassan Hurd on Drums, Dewey Tucker on Bass, and Greggo Simmons on Guitar, all have solid upbringings in the strong Bay Area Gospel scene and have gone on to tour with artist such as The Coup and Bilal. Antario Holmes on keys and Aagee on special effects/samples, are both solid producers having worked with many Bay Artists ranging from Hieroglyphics to Erk tha Jerk. Percussionist Mosheh Milon, a producer/artist himself, is versed in various percussion styles and is a vet in the local music scene. Somewhat of an All-Star Band, you will not want to miss them in action!!
