It’s the New York Premiere of FunkJazz Kafé: Diary Of A Decade, 2012, by Jason Orr with Erykah Badu, Cee Lo Green, Chuck D, Cornel West, Kevin Powell, Roy Ayers, Doug E. Fresh and many more.
This 134 minute film is the story of a cultural legend as told by the innovators from Harlem to Hollywood of an important, and in some cases, an overlooked era in Black culture. Spanning from the late 1980’s through to the early 2000’s, this story goes deep into the fabric of Soulmusic, it’s definitions, it’s pioneers, it’s offspring, it’s movements, the challenges with the “mainstream” industry as well as the evolution of the FunkJazzKafé Arts & Music Festival.
