last night i hit Dowling's Palace for Jus' Words. i almost didn't go & got out of the rest far later than what i would have liked. by the time i hit the sub it was already 11P. i was mildly concerned that i would arrive & everything would be wrapping up. i got off the sub at Girard & was pleasantly proven wrong upon my arrival at the venue.
this was my 1st visit to Jus' Words, so i did not have any particular expectations. the energy of the crowd & the vibe of the venue were mega solid. the crowd was thick by the time i came in, so i posted at the bar & prepared to absorb the + vibes i was sensing.
as always, creation inspires. the performances were excellent. the house band was catching grooves w/the artists & the crowd was clearly feeling it. performers were coming off stage & getting their mingle on while the crowd would still be singing the last groove. the perfromances varied from spoken word to vocalization to comedy. it was a beautiful thing to see/feel/experience.
i was particularly moved by the spoken word performance of special guest Taalam Acey. this creative gets the words out w/a force that is unmistaken. i copped his current CD titled Optix. i highly suggest getting familiar w/this creative's expression.
Jus' Words is also highly recommended. every Thursday at 9P w/a $5 cover. congratulations & continued success to Reynald Williams for being 8 years strong. i will clearly be returning to Dowling's Palace in the future...
PEACE
...be calm...
