SPIRIT - LA Every 2nd SATURDAY
Soulful House Movement: Afro, Latin, Jazz, and Beyond
The Last Spirit of 2009 took place Saturday, December 12th, 2009
My deepest gratitude and thanks to Joe Claussell for coming and participating at Spirit. I greatly appreciate his time, energy, and the music contributed.
It was a blessing and an opportunity to work with one of my greatest influences in House Music.
He is truly a reflection and shining example of the spiritual movement in music. A man who is true to what he does and stands for what he believes in. It would be a benefit to the house movement to have him play more often in LA and we will welcome him anytime he wishes too! We hope to have him back again in the future!!
Spirit would also like to thank all those in the community that helped support throughout the year 2009: those that came out, participated, and brought their amazing energy to the dance floor.
We could not do this event if it were not for those in the community that come out and support.
This event is by the people and for the people, as well as it is vehicle to support the soulful house movement - combined with live cultural performances. Spirit is about integrating lifestyle, culture, spirit of music into the club culture - it is a belief that it goes beyond the event - what those get out of the event and and what they carry out into the world. This is a way of life beyond the club - a tradition carried on from our ancestors to us - I pay homage and thanks to the spirit and the music that heals, uplifts, educates, raises awareness, and unifies people from all walks of life.
Spirit would also thank all of our sponsors that helped spread the word this year 2009: Amoeba Music, LA Weekly, Fusicology, Nu-Soul Magazine, Modern Soul Radio, Next Aid, Kristi Lomax KPFK Radio, and KCRW.
In addition, thanks to all who helped spread the word via emails, bulletins, postings, word of mouth etc - you know who you are and thank you!!!
And of course - I thanks to all the amazing talent we had this year - those that contributed their time and energy to Spirit:
DJ's: Don Guapo, Kristi Lomax, Tony Powell, Terence Toy, dj Kerry, Raul Campos, Wayne Lyons, Aaron Byrd, Frank Lara, Scott K., Big Cee, Nef Nunez, Kaleem, and Joe Claussell.
Live Performances By: Aziz Faye of Senegal, Kabasa ensemble, our drummer Kenyatta Poole.
and our wonderful hosts: EReece, Joshua Silverstein, Cezere, Jackie Wilson, Kristi Lomax
+ the dancers that contributed: Brother, Swoop, Vanessa, Mr. green, Emiko, D Mac...
Spirit would also like to thank the Grand Star Jazz Club - this is one venue that stands behind the music and the essence of what the music represents- our greatest appreciation and thanks to the Grand Star who has been a home for LA's independent music scene for 10 years +!!!
Thanks and shout out to our graphic's people: Mike Hernandez, Flip, and myself!
Special thanks to our sound that was provided throughout the year: Wayne Lyons, Frank Lara, Lucas (distant beat), and Alex (Sound Factory)!
Also thanks to our door people who's job is not easy!!! Tammy, David, and Jen !!!
All these folks help to make spirit happen my thanks and appreciation!!!
Most of all my utmost, deepest, greatest, thanks appreciation and gratitude to the spirit for giving me the strength to be able to hold this event for the community.
Also my thanks to anyone I may have forgotten to mention - you are appreciated!!!
I express my deepest thanks to all and to those who truly support the people and the music with out any boundaries, judgment, hatred, jealousy, envy, competiton, or greed. The ones who truly embrace it with love and with out any insecurity. This is gift we have been given and it should be shared in abundance with the world - it is for everyone and no one can own, hold, or control it - live it and let it go into the universe...
