SHAOLIN JAZZ L!VE is a vibe!
Of all the engagements we produce
this is the one that best reflects the innovation and intersections of
Jazz and Hip-Hop.

L!VE is a reinterpretation of selections from our SHAOLIN JAZZ music catalog and other Hip Hop classics performed live by the Sound of the City Band and led by DJ 2-Tone Jones. 

The 1st L!VE performance took place on June 25, 2012 at the legendary Blues Alley in Washington, DC. It was the first time the historic jazz venue featured a show headlined by a DJ. Since then we've had the pleasure of performing at the Kennedy Center, B.B. King's Blues Bar in New York and the US Consulate in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
