Carnival gets into full swing this weekend with parades—large and small—parties, and balls. One of the newest organizations on the scene, the Krewe of King James: Super Bad Sex Machine Strollers, are opening their second annual ball to the public Friday night at Gasa Gasa.
With a unique fusion of R&B, jazz, and hip hop that brazenly traverses the boundaries of all three genres, the Robert Glasper Experiment have recorded award-winning albums for Blue Note records, including Black Radio, which won “Best R&B Album” at the 2012 Grammys, and Black Radio 2, which won “Best Traditional R&B Performance” at the 2015 Grammys.
The Robert Glasper Experiment features Glasper on keyboards, Casey Benjamin on saxophone and vocoder, Derrick Hodge on bass, and Mark Colenburg on drums.
The opening acts at the Good Foot Ball are Chapter: SOUL, featuring saxophonist Calvin Johnson and sousaphonist Kirk Joseph, and DJ Soul Sister (who is also the captain of the Krewe of King James).
Tickets are available here. Get them now—this will sell out!
