M.U.G.A.B.E.E.
The sound of M.U.G.A.B.E.E. (an acronym for Men Under Guidance Acting Before Early Extinction) can be described as an encyclopedia of black music. They are most influenced by funk, blues, and jazz, and they continue to find very creative ways of allow those three genres to blossom within their hip hop context. Since 2000 the brothers of M.U.G.A.B.E.E., —yes these guys are really brothers—have been working and performing in communities across the country, from colleges and universities, to theaters and coffee houses. Maurice, the elder brother, studied jazz at Howard University, Alcorn State University, and the University of Mississippi. Carlton studied English at the University of Mississippi. M.U.G.A.B.E.E. will be performing selections from Earth Tones (2002), World Domination (2007), and some new material from three upcoming releases.
M.U.G.A.B.E.E. will reunite with regular musical collaborator,
Courtney Bryan. Courtney , a native of New Orleans, Louisiana, is a prolific and eclectic composer, pianist, and arranger. Her overall ambition in life is the “creation of uninhibited beauty.” Courtney Bryan was featured along with Jason Marsalis and Irvin Mayfield in Geoffrey Poister's documentary Jazz Dreams. Courtney will be playing selections from her album Quest for Freedom.
