CL RECOMMENDS
CL Critic Hal Horowtiz Recommends: There is no room to list the two dozen or so players that one time Atlanta bassist Kevin Scott will bring for this sure to be blowout show. But anytime you get a chance to see the legendary Bernard “Pretty” Purdie in action, one of the most recorded drummers alive, you’ll want to take advantage of that. And the rest of the “all stars” are some of the best local roots/jazz/blues players. A guaranteed sell out. — HH

From the venue:

In December 2022, Kevin Scott and an incomparable assemblage of A-Team players will join forces to present the Kevin Scott’s All Star Holiday Revival dance party. Featuring tunes ranging from James Brown to Jimmy Smith to seasonal standards with just the right amount of holiday flavor, the band will usher in the holiday season with an uncompromising serving of funk and spunk.

Kevin Scott’s Funkymas Ensemble includes band leader, Kevin Scott (Jimmy Herring, John McLaughlin), Bernard Purdie (Aretha Franklin, Steely Dan), Emil Werstler, Grant Green Jr., Mark Radabaugh (Donna the Buffalo), Matt Slocum (Aquarium Rescue Unit, Railroad Earth), Rhett Huffman (American Aquarium), Rick Lollar (The 5 of7, Jamison Ross), Dave Yoke (Dr John), Jon Libeman (Electromatics), Cody Matlock, Raphael Pereira (Janelle Monae)), Jordon Shallop, Taylor Kennedy, Dan Wytanis (Ghost Note), Ansley Stewart, Mark Rivers (Tedeschi Trucks Band), Brenda Moore, Amanda Joy, Tiffany White, and Elliott Blaufuss (Phillip Phillips), along with more very special guests to be announced. Kevin Scott’s All Star Holiday Revival is the holiday tradition that we need. Happy! Merry! Hark! and Funk!
