Ok. This has never happened before…but they’re about to throw the vote to the audience, and I’m gonna abstain. I am too personally attached to one band. And I think they were the best but I don’t trust my own judgment. #dcjazzprix
Akua signs off by singing “I Can’t Stand the Rain.” #dcjazzprix
Next song is “Malaika,” in Swahili. Must be by @AkuaAllrich’s beloved Miriam Makeba. #dcjazzprix
“Asuo” and “Take my Time,” both originals, were her first two, next is The standard “My Baby Just Cares for Me.” She sings the lyric, says “Come on Kris,” and everyone here knows what’s coming. #dcjazzprix
And Akua has buckets of soul. Reservoirs of soul.
Again–freely admitting bias. #dcjazzprix
But I wasn’t prepared for Sam and Tyler to be in the groove with him, as though they’d been playing together forever. It’s amazing. #dcjazzprix
If y’all haven’t heard Kris Funn on the bass—and you have, if you’ve heard Christian aTunde Adjuah (for just one example)—I can’t tell you how great he is. #dcjazzprix
Ok. Next up is @AkuaAllrich and the Tribe, and I freely admit my bias here. I know and love every member of this band for years. And I also have to disclose that Akua has the most beautiful smile in the DMV. #dcjazzprix
Ten seconds in and I’ll tell you what, this trio is tight as hell. #dcjazzprix
Jalen plays the vibes. And he plays them with great rhythmic touch. #dcjazzprix
I shall now live tweet the #dcjazzprix 2022, as per tradition.
As usual, vocalist and emcee @aaronmyers reminds us that he is a natural born showman.
The Julieta Eugenio (@julietaeugenio_) Trio has been selected as a finalist for the #DCJazzPrix, an International band competition presented by @dcjazzfest. They'll perform with two other groups at the festival in September, where a winner will be chosen.
