Anyone who has heard The Magnificent or The Return of the Magnificent knows that DJ Jazzy Jeff makes some seriously good soulful music which is a long way removed from his rap-pop days with The Fresh Prince.  His two albums have featured the likes of Jill Scott, Eric Roberson, Raheem DeVaughn, J-Live, Baby Blak, Kardinal Offishall… the list is immense.

And just in time for Christmas, he brings his live show to the Jazz Cafe on December 17th (the day of my work Xmas party – dilemmas…) and i’m pretty sure it’ll be an awesome present.  Many moons ago he bought a hungry vocalist called Eric Roberson with him so who knows what new talents he has uncovered to unleash on Camden.  Also, its been a minute since The Return of the Magnificent was released so expect many a new joint.
