Native Elements & CV-1 September 22, 2006

Native Elements
San Francisco's reggae favorite Native Elements (now in their 10th year as a cohesive unit) never fail to bring postivity and niceness to all of their music gatherings. As recording artist's they spin a curious fabric of luvers rock, roots and conscious dancehall wrapped cozily in a bright "frisco-pino" treatment. A family before anything else Native Elements strives to make their show a warm and inviting experience for all; young and old, red gold and green and everything in between.

CV-1
Attention Babylon! SF Bay Area jazz great Clyde “The Slyde” Sutliff (Dogslyde) has returned with a new spin on the classic reggae of old. His new group, CV1, is an all instrumental mash-up of classic Jamaican dub grooves, psychedelic guitar, and beautiful jazz-improv. Clyde’s trumpet and melodica excursions-on-the-version are accompanied by old friends E. Blake Davis (Papa’s Culture, Opal Book Club) on guitar/pedal board, Harley White Jr. (Papa’s Culture, Seventy) on bass, and Eddie “The Assassin” Sassin (Undercover SKA) or Jan Jackson (Pothole, Bitches Brew) on drums/percussion.
