"Billed as a "funky and progressive" celebration of David Bowie's music, Monday night's Afro Bowie show at the Teragram Ballroom was initially planned to coincide with the rock legend's birth and death dates— Jan. 8 and 10, respectively.
Sadly, it had to be postponed due to the catastrophic wildfires that tore through Los Angeles neighborhoods in Altadena and Pacific Palisades. Rescheduled as a fundraiser for MusiCares and L.A. fire relief, the show, which took place Monday night, was more than worth the wait.
The incredible jam-like jubilee was opened by jazz singer Dwight Tribble, who did a unique take on "Nature Boy," the Nat King Cole song that Bowie covered for Moulin Rouge. Then, Rolling Stones longtime backup singer Bernard Fowler took the stage for a rousing rendition of "Moonage Daydream.
Other esteemed musicians bringing alchemy to the stage for soulful covers of "Young Americans," "Ziggy Stardust," and "Suffragette City," included drummer Daru Jones (Jack White/Madlib), sax players Azar Lawrence (Miles Davis) and Scott Page (Pink Floyd, Toto), trumpeter Todd Simon and guitarist Kat Dyson (Prince).
