Fred Wesley and the New JBs

Fred Wesley and the New JBs are playing at Yoshis. This is a chance to hear a foundational voice in funk music. Wesley, a trombonist and arranger, was a key figure in James Brown's band and Parliament-Funkadelic. His work helped define the sound of funk, and with the New JBs he continues to bring that classic groove to the stage. Expect a set rooted in deep rhythm and brassy improvisation. This Monday night show on September 28th at Yoshis Jazz Club in Oakland offers a chance to see a funk legend in an intimate setting. Yoshis is known for its seated club atmosphere, which is well-suited for appreciating the nuances of this kind of performance. This will appeal to fans of classic funk, jazz, and soul.
