BLUES and jazz guitarist Elton Goslett will accompany electro swing and blues DJ JP Silver at The Swing Café Variety Show at Café Ganesh in Observatory next Wednesday. Also on the line-up is vocal looping act Frequaliza (aka Farrell Adams) and Scottish poet Miss Kiki and singer/songwriter Michaela Schenk.
Frequaliza is ‘the love child of funk and soul’. Here Adams, the former vocalist of the band Nine kicks out generous doses of positive vibrations and infectious grooves.
Goslett and Silver started collaborating at Silver’s weekly Electro Swing Café gig at Sticks McGee’s and the duo quickly found an easy rhythm, blending Silver’s electro blues DJ set with Goslett’s jazz based improvisation on guitar. The duo also recently performed at the Trash Cabaret Carnival of Dreams and are busy producing an original single due for release later this year.
Goslett is an accomplished player who plays lead guitar in Mixed Roots fusion band and has formed a blues band Black Soul Blues with singer Auriol Hays. He recently started using live looping to fully explore the electric guitar in a solo show.
Goslett also teaches at The Jazz Workshop.
