Event: Gone Too Soon

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

If you’re numb to the repetitive sardine-esque vibes of the Notting Hill Carnival, why not try something different this year?

… Yes, Yes, I know: the hype is done and dusted BUT that doesn’t stop Michael Jackson being the legend that he is and will be for generations to come.


Whatever your thoughts are, this Saturday (29th)  and Sunday (30th), Jazz Cafe have decided to host a sincere tribute to the greatest entertainer that ever lived. Calling a spade, a spade: the line-up is dope. This s**t is beyond the hype.

You have got: Eric Roberson and Phonte (Little Brother/ Foreign Exchange) presenting the night… This alone will be well worth the investment. But then you’ve got performances coming from an array of artists who’s contributions to music are worthy of recognition in their own rights. From ‘late disco-early house music’ diva, Kim Mazelle to Chris Ballin who’s worked with megastars such as Chaka Khan and Pink Floyd. For more artist lineup info, click here.

I have a feeling this tribute will go beyond the ‘Thrillers’ and ‘Man in the Mirrors’ to delve into some of MJ’s hidden gems that slipped under the radar. So this will be a true fan’s opportunity to be educated in the rarer selection from his extensive discography.

Above all… The music is guaranteed to be massive. So why not?
