“Weston lays down a ferocious groove with ecstatic shouts … tugging rhythmic displacements that tease like thunder and lightning throughout.” -All About Jazz
“Calvin Weston is wild enough by himself; he gets even crazier when he’s joined by other percussionists … [achieves] a rare cohesion, fusing jazz, hip-hop, African rhythms, and funk into an invigorating and exploratory sound that’s both enjoyable and intellectual.” -Philadelphia Weekly
“Fierce grooves, torrid worldbeat percussion vamps, and raucous soloing escapades … a mind-altering exposition” -eJazzNews
“Calvin is one of my biggest influences. He has been a huge inspiration to many musicians and a portal into Ornette Coleman’s funky harmolodic world. This recording is a culmination of music made on the West Coast and in his Philadelphia hometown. The intense wild alchemy utilizing acoustic and electronic sounds in combination with other Philadelphia musical mavericks makes this a very special (and fun!) trip into the world of Grant Calvin Weston.” -Billy Martin (Medeski Martin & Wood)
This event will stream live from a super special local recording studio at 8:30pm Eastern. Catch the livestream at The Rotunda's YouTube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/TheRotundaPhilly
