Mark de Clive-Lowe’s CHURCH Live at The Breeding Ground NYC
While each musician brought their own sound to the table, the group as a whole gelled extremely well. Nia Andrews gracefully commanded the melodies of the tracks, and Robinson’s verses were on point. Jaleel Shaw was an absolute freak of nature, ripping over the changes while de Clive-Lowe added filters, delays, and other assorted effects with his samplers. Kelley and Smith locked like a glove, providing a strong backbone to the overlying ethereal layers of synths, percussion, and samples.

Hello All! It’s that time again! Enjoy below all the dope new content we have posted here at The Revivalist the past week!
Mark Kelley of The Roots
After the night was over, I was looking for more stuff to get into. It was so late, there was nothing else happening, but the show was so great that I didn’t want to stop listening to music. I wanted to keep going. So I went home and literally put on my headphones and kept rocking.

Mark Kelley Joins The Roots
Congratulations to Mark Kelley on his new gig as the bassist for the Roots! As Owen Biddle leaves to focus on his own projects, Mark will be taking over his duties on the low-end for the Roots. Mark’s career has previously included stints with Meshell Ndegeocello, Jason Moran, Roy Hargrove, Nicholas Payton, and Christian McBride among many others. We look forward to watching Mark’s progress and involvement with the Roots crew.
Fats Waller Dance Party with Jason Moran & Meshell Ndegeocello
The concert started in an abrupt and satisfying manner with Jason Moran marching onto the stage declaring “Let’s play!” before he immediately began attacking the piano in his best Fats Waller imitation. The talented roster of musicians holding down the band soon followed suit. Yet, it wasn’t until Meshell marched out with the professional dancers that the party really got started.
