www.mcgjazz.org "In 1999, the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra was named the resident jazz orchestra for the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the Orchestra is the host ensemble for the eminently popular summer jazz series at the Hollywood Bowl... CHJO, co-led by John Clayton, his brother, reed player Jeff Clayton, and drummer Jeff Hamilton, has received critical and commercial praise generated by their rousing concert and festival performances and award-winning recordings. CHJO's Grammy-nominated recording, Groove Shop, was named one of the best recordings of 1990 by CD Review. The Jazz Orchestra's recording, Explosive (Qwest), with legendary vibraphonist Milt Jackson, received excellent critical notice and rose to the top of the radio charts

Talib Kweli - May 13, 2004 - The World (Formally Rosebud) 8pm
Talib Kweli is the thinking man?s hip-hop star. He views his music as literature in the most traditional sense: as a completely engaging way of communicating ideas. In the wrong hands, that cerebral take on hip-hop could be heavy handed and dull, but Kweli?s music is clever, astute, challenging and completely entertaining ? everything good art should be.
