-REVIVE DA LIVE Comes to S.O.B.'s on MAY 19thwith
GURU of Jazzmatazz and Super-Producer Solar--

--Special Suprise Guest Grammy-Award Winning Trumpeter with "A HARD GROOVE"

On Monday May 19th, S.O.B.'s presents Revive Da Live with special guests Guru of Gang Starr fame and the legendary Jazzmatazz series and his longtime musical counterpart, NYC-based super-producer Solar. Also joining these two distinguished artists on stage is a special surprise Grammy-Award Winning trumpeter with "a Hard Groove", who's name will be announced the night of the show. Guru and Solar first collaborated on the groundbreaking compilation Jazzmatazz, Vol. 1, a blend of hip-hop and jazz that combined storied Jazz musicians with contemporary rappers in a format that had never been seen before. Since Vol 1's release, Jazzmatazz has bloomed into its own movement, spawning 3 more compilations and selling out concert venues around the world.

Revive Da Live is a musical movement based on two goals: to enrich the soul of hip-hop and to redefine jazz as a genre relevant to the hip-hop generation. Revive Da Live aims to spark a jazz renaissance by revamping the formula of popular music through a Jazz/Hip-Hop union that some call a Nu-Jazz movement. Through live performance and collaboration, Revive Da Live Productions has produced and organized events that have included artists such as Robert Glasper, Chris "Daddy" Dave, Bilal, Q-Tip, Roy Hargrove and is now presenting another exciting collaboration on May 19th with Guru and Solar @ SOB'S with a SURPRISE Grammy Award-winning guest. Revive Da Live is about exposing the fusion of soulful jazz roots with the fresh, youthful energy of hip-hop to inspire jazz and hip hop enthusiasts and the two energies come together on Monday, May 19th when Guru, Solar and th e surprise Grammy-winning jazz trumpeter take the stage at the legendary S.O.B.'s in Manhattan, New York.
