About Jump N Funk
Jump N Funk, America’s original Afrobeat party, was born of the collective vision and efforts of Rich Medina, Debbie Sealy and Trevor Schoonmaker. The idea was to raise awareness around the King of Afrobeat, at a time when many were unaware of Fela Kuti, his music and his legacy. Rich Medina combined forces with his studio production partner Mark Hines (The Marksmen) to expand the JNF experience with live video and instrumentalist performance elements. It has become an amazing presentatino of sight and sound unique to JNF.
Medina has cemeted his reputation as an elite DJ taking audiences on a sonic journey through Hip Hop, House, Soul, Afrobeat, Funk, Breaks, Rare Grooves and Dance Classics.
JNF has grown from an intimate afterwork gathering, to an event avidly attended by hundreds in venues around the glove, including Italy, London, Paris, Tokyo and more.

Jazz at MOCA presents soul legend Timmy Thomas and the Overtown Soul Review, with special guest vocalist Cina Jones, in a FREE performance March 26 from 8 to 9:15 PM at the Museum of Contemporary Art, 770 NE 125th St., North Miami.

Lightning Has Struck Twice. Soul Legend Timmy Thomas, who serenaded the world in 1973 with his million-selling smash “Why Can’t We Live Together,” has conquered the world again. Thanks to Drake’s beyond-obvious sample of “Why Can’t We Live Together” in his monster worldwide hit “Hotline Bling,” the world is dancing yet again to Timmy Thomas’ groove. 2016 will find Timmy Thomas releasing a string of singles on Overtown Records and one on Saustex Media, prior to his comeback album. His collaborators range from the late Steve Jobs to Timmy’s old hitmaking crew at TK records. They were recorded in the manner Soul Music deserves: Living and Breathing on analog tape – so it may be released on vinyl. Timmy Thomas famously sang “People Are Changing” on his first LP. The people may have changed, but their love of his soulful groove remains the same.

“Timmy’s song [’Why Can’t We Live Together’] resonates now more than ever-ever,” says NPR. For more information visit mocanomi.org or call 305-332-2623. Music program is curated by KCC Productions.

#ThankYouMiami for Fashion: Exploring L.A. in a Miracle Dress

Thank-You-Miami-Velour-Dress-Standard-Issue-NYC-Los-Angeles

We all have big dreams and seemingly insignificant pero important dreams. One of the latter for us was to one day find a dress like the pink velour one Hallie wore in “My Date with the President’s Daughter”—the one dramatically revealed at minute 7 of this YouTube clip from the movie. After years of passively searching, we finally found it (albeit a more hipster tunic version but perfect nonetheless)! The long-awaited dress was waiting for us inside of the Hyden Yoo Boutique on Abbot Kinney where we came across it last Saturday while shopping with our friend Sarah. Finding this dress was one small part of a five day-long marathon of amazing juju that carried us through our recent Los Angeles trip (of which you will hear more about on ThankYouMiami.com next week) because it turns out it is impossible to find Hyden Yoo’s women collection anywhere on the internets.

Because this outfit was a miracle a long time in the making, we naturally bumped all other OOTDs planned for Sunday Brunch to make room for this fabulous dress. So, on Sunday, armed with our new dress, our favorite sunnies, and our favorite ASKA Collection booties (you may remember them from our last #ThankYouMiami for Fashion post because we love them so much we wear them everyday) we headed to The Rockefeller in Manhattan Beach with our sister Lucy and her friends. The tunic cut was perfect for brunching—ergo, extremely applicable to Miami life—because it allowed our bellies to expand for unlimited mimosas, a massive plate of chilaquiles, zucchini fries, and donut holes and still looked flattering. And, afterward when we went on a post-brunch buzz drive down the California coast blasting Mariah Carey’s “Emotions” with the windows down, it turned out to be the prettiest, most comfortable outfit for that too. #winning.

Pop-Up Exhibit featuring works of Robert Mapplethorpe
Venture inside the mind of one of the 20th Century’s most important artists, and come face to face with his provocative masterpieces. Presented on a scale worthy of its artistic impact, this digital gallery features rare and revealing commentary from the photographer himself.

“Look at the pictures,” said Senator Jesse Helms, denouncing the controversial art of Robert Mapplethorpe, whose photographs pushed boundaries with frank depictions of nudity, sexuality and fetishism, igniting a culture war that rages to this day.

More than 25 years later, the HBO Documentary Films presentation MAPPLETHORPE: LOOK AT THE PICTURES does just that, taking an unflinching, unprecedented look at his most provocative work.

As The J. Paul Getty Museum and The Los Angeles County Museum of Art prepare landmark Mapplethorpe retrospectives (both opening in March), the film goes inside the preparation for the exhibitions as a jumping-off point to tell the complete story of his life and work, and explore the interplay between his personal and professional lives.

With complete and unprecedented access to The Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation, the documentary draws upon archival materials and features never-before-seen photographs and footage. Mapplethorpe himself is a strong presence, telling his story in his own words with complete honesty and often shocking candor through rediscovered audio interviews.

Almost all of the people from key relationships in his life are included in the film, including his first girlfriend, Patti Smith, one in a string of profoundly influential lovers.

Photographs by Anthony Jordon of SBWFF’s Barilla’s Italian Bites on the Beach on 2/25/15

We kicked off SOBEWFF®’s 15th anniversary with longtime friend Giada De Laurentiis! Host of multiple shows on Food Network, including Giada in Italy and long-running hit primetime series Food Network Star, she brought a taste of her namesake restaurant GIADA at The Cromwell in Las Vegas to the sands of South Beach.  We joined the widely recognized queen of Italian cuisine who hosted more than 30 of the nation’s greatest chefs serving up dishes originating from various regions of Italy behind the iconic Delano Hotel. We perused Piedmont, trotted through Tuscany, savored Sardinia, canvased Campania, sauntered through Sicily, and more – while sinking our toes into the sparkling white sands of South Beach. Whether you prefer a traditional spaghetti and meatballs or a cooler antipasto-style pasta salad or a savory perciatelli and chicken, this was a celebration not to be missed.  All complemented by pours from the Campari Italian Spirits Portfolio and Folonari wines.

Captivating, soul stirring, earthy and funky. These are just some of the words used to describe the song stylings of LeNard Rutledge. Growing up in Miami, Florida, LeNard was always surrounded by many different musical styles. His parents had an extensive music collection ranging from Classical, Jazz, Hymns and the funk of James Brown.

LeNard has shared the stage with a number of highly respectable jazz artists such as: Nnenna Freelon, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Kenny Drew Jr., and Harry Allen. In May of 2006, LeNard was named BEST JAZZ ARTIST, by the Miami New Times magazine.

“LeNard Rutledge is usually compared, aptly, to the legendary Lou Rawls. Like Rawls, Rutledge’s classy elegance is often permeated by the raw passion of his church choir work.” (Miami New Times)

The Young Artist Initiative presents a new partnership with Cafeina Miami. The second Young Artist Initiative at Cafeina Wynwood Lounge is Friday, March 4th with an incredible lineup of musicians, installations, live performances, exhibits, and more!

As a race, we live in a continuum of constant evolution. Countless minds have brought forth change to consciousness and culture and have moved our societies forward, restructuring the dynamics of our generations.

The ever-growing presence of technology in our daily lives has transcended the nature of a “trend” and has come to resemble a strong pillar in the structure of our approach to the life before us. It has changed the way we create, interact, and coexist, and has consequentially brought change to art.

For the next installment of the Young Artist Initiative, we have carefully selected technology and its cultural stigmas as the concept base for live art and activations.

All artists have been presented with the challenge of addressing technology’s role and impact on the arts across their selected mediums and comprehensively blending visual and metaphorical elements in order to present a personal interpretation of the matter.

We invite you to enjoy and ponder the reflection of Miami’s Collective of Young Artists on Friday, March 4th at Cafeina Miami at 7 p.m.

American artist John Dowd shows his new series titled “Tropical Gardens: The Contemporary Florida Landscape”” at the Williams McCall Gallery South of Fifth. Kicking off with an artist reception that is open to the public on Friday, March 4th at 6 pm, the exhibit will run until March 30th.

John Dowd shares, “This show is a further exploration of my interest in the landscape of Southern Florida… the surreal juxtaposition of the geometric modernist architecture often with vivid colors set against the lush tropical vegetation… the highly artificial night lighting creating a sense of the romantic and yet unreal… dreamlike … vacillating between the worlds of attraction and detachment. This is what I see.”

Dowd received a degree in architecture at Notre Dame and further advanced his studies in Rome. His work has been exhibited throughout the country with numerous works held in private, corporate and museum collections. He was awarded the Altman Prize “Grand Prize for Landscape“ from the National Academy of Design. Dowd currently resides in Provincetown and New York City.

South Florida JAZZ, the area’s premier modern jazz organization, is excited to present the Joey DeFrancesco Trio on Saturday, March 12, 2016 at 8:00 PM. This concert takes place at the Rose & Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center on the Nova Southeastern University campus, 3100 Ray Ferrero Jr Blvd, Davie 33314. Tickets are $40 ($10 students with I.D.) and can be purchased from Ticketmaster either online at southfloridajazz.org or by calling 954-462-0222.

Joey DeFrancesco is not only a masterful jazz organist, but also an accomplished trumpeter, and vocalist. He has released more than 30 albums as a leader and also has played or recorded with jazz icons Miles Davis and Jimmy Smith, as well as David Sanborn, Arturo Sandoval, Benny Golson, James Moody, Elvin Jones, John McLaughlin, George Benson, Ray Charles and even Bette Midler.

In addition to his three Grammy nominations, DeFrancesco is a 10-time winner of the Down Beat Critics Poll and has won the Down Beat Readers Poll every year since 2005, plus a number of JazzTimes and Jazz Journalist Association awards. He was an inaugural member of the Hammond Hall of Fame in 2014.

DeFranceso’s emergence in the 1980s marked the renaissance for the B3 organ, which had been largely replaced by more portable keyboard synthesizers.  Joey reignited the flame with the vintage sound of his Hammond, and in so doing, also revived the careers of many other proponents of the “big dawg” of keyboard instruments. Joey, however, is the universally acknowledged “King of the Jazz Organ.”

ARTISTIC PERSONNEL
Joey DeFrancesco – organ, trumpet and vocals
Dan Wilson – electric guitar
Jason Brown – drums

Funding for this organization is provided in part by the Broward County Board of County Commissioners as recommended by the Broward Cultural Council.
