#TBT goes back to Halloween 2016 when we threw our Zombie Party at Le Bain. It was our Halloween tribute to Fela Kuti’s famous track Zombie. Rich Medina was of course the DJ and the music and crowd were absolute fire that night.

#TBT this week goes back to October 30th, 1991 when we presented Massive Attack for their US debut at SOB's as part of CMJ. They had already released their brilliant debut album “Blue Lines” in UK and came to US to promote it here.

Continuing our #MusicIs series with the great saxophonist Gary Bartz who has played with everyone from Eric Dolphy to Max Roach to Miles Davis to Adrian Younge & Ali Shaheed Muhammed: for him “Music is my sanctuary, music is my life”. We couldn’t agree more. What is music to you?

What is music to you? To Herbie Hancock “Music is the tool to express life, and all that makes a difference”. We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.

Thank you continuing to inspire us Herbie. @herbiehancock

As part of our ongoing #MusicIs series, this week our quote comes from the one and only Jimi Hendrix. September 18th marked the 51st anniversary of his untimely death. Although his career was cut tragically short, his music legacy lives on forever. What is music to you?

[Giant Step @GiantStep]

We are starting a new social series called #MusicIs, giving us all the opportunity to express what music means. Each week we will be posting a quote what “Music is.” We’d also love to get your thoughts too. We felt it was only fitting to let the great late Fela Kuti go first.

[Giant Step @GiantStep]

Our thoughts are with everyone who lost their lives and loved ones on this fateful day 20 years ago. #911 #neverforget #NYtough #20years #September11 #wtc #memorial #twintowers #nyc #newyorkersneverforget #heroes #tribute
