Hail to the Chief
Jazz and hip-hop go together like the sun and moon; working together in their distinct methods to make something vast and great. Khalif “Big Chief” Neville and the DefrenAstrators work this musical relationship into a cohesive melody that blends an active and seductive saxophone with neo-soul lyrics. The funky music gets your head nodding for all the right reasons: rhythm and affirmation. Big Chief often tours with his father Charles Neville of The Neville Brothers. This week he’ll perform in Holyoke with Marco and special guest Tyler Gifted, a Boston rapper.
Khalif “Big Chief” Neville and the DefrenAstrators with Marco and special guest Tyler Gifted, 18+ show, Friday, Nov. 20, 8-11:30 p.m. Gateway City Arts, 92 Race St., Holyoke, (413) 374-7671.
