Audioform Performs A Pre-Turkey Concert In Savannah

by

(Savannah, Ga.) The Coastal Jazz Association knows your Sundays are important to you; especially the one right before Thanksgiving. That is why the CJA is proud to present you with a concert on November 18th that you’ll not likely soon forget. The acid-jazz-funk sound of Audioform. (Dare we call this a “Yam” session?)

Audioform plays soul jazz funk, or funky soul jazz which is augmented by a big horn section and a groove-oriented rhythm section.. Familiar touchstones abound, including 1960s’ Blue Note artists like Lou Donaldson and late-era Lee Morgan, the big combo jazz of Charles Mingus and Tito Puente, Curtis Mayfield wah-wah guitar, and ’70s funk acts like Tower of Power and Parliament.
