A MAGICAL MUSICAL NIGHT [A SUITE FOR MA DUKES]
Hours ago an audience was fortunate to hear the sounds of the man we all know and love, J Dilla through an orchestra composed under the direction of Miguel Atwood Ferguson.As much as I wanted to, I wasn’t able to fly down to L.A. for this one. However Our good friend Dert was not only in attendance, but sitting front row to witness what I knew would be a night to talk about for years to come. Lucky for us, He was able to record the last memorable moments of the performance. The rest is through his eyes & words.
This is video I took at the Timeless: Suite For Ma Dukes concert. A 40-piece orchestra interpreting Jay-Dee’s wonderful work from the hits to the obscure. Arrangements by Miguel Atwood Ferguson. There were numerous cameos throughout the night but this video features Posdnous of the great De La Soul and Talib Kweli performing Stakes Is High and Illa J doing adlibs over Fall in Love. Karriem Riggins was on the drums for the 2nd half of the show. I was trying to be respectful by not taking video but at this point everyone in the place took out cameras and flashes were going off. Since I was in the front row, I might as well share a little bit with y’all. When the full concert comes out on DVD (since there was a film crew) it’s definitely a must-have for Dilla fans and music lovers alike.-Dert
