Harriet Tubman 10/14/11 Firehouse 12

Harriet Tubman a downtown supergroup formed in the nineties and dormant until recently boasts Brandon Ross on guitar, Melvin Gibbs bass, J.T. Lewis drums, Graham Haynes on electronically processed cornet, DJ Val Inc. and DJ Logic on turntables. The new project takes Coltrane's Ascension as a jump off point to futuristic funkjazz. Unfortunately, DJ Logic was stuck in Japan the night of this show. Ross seemed to have some sound issues on set 1 and stomped off momentarily leaving Gibbs to show off some explosive 5-string bass. Haynes always the extraterrestrial coaxed weird sounds from the processed cornet. The highlight was DJ Val Inc. with her Sinead O'connor hairdo offered excellent song-bending percussion which played well with Lewis. Sadly, we are left to imagine this project with DJ Logic in attendance
