A Tribute to the Legacy of Curtis Mayfield
Curtis Mayfield’s legacy in music is as powerful today as it was decades ago. His work as a singer-songwriter, guitarist, and producer, particularly through his solo career and with The Impressions, defined an era. His socially conscious anthems like "People Get Ready" and "Super Fly" became the soundtrack for the Civil Rights Movement, offering poignant reflections on social issues while also pushing the boundaries of soul, funk, and jazz. Level Rizon’s tribute is a heartfelt homage to Mayfield’s lasting impact on music and culture.
An Evening of Music and Laughter
Hosting the night is the hilarious Mike Bonner, whose infectious energy will keep the evening light and fun. Produced by jazz vocalist and Preservation of Jazz founder Sky Covington, this tribute promises a seamless blend of soul-stirring music and engaging entertainment, making it a night to remember.
