CD Review by Dawoud Kringle
Concert Review: Renegade Sufi & Truculently Audacious…both bands are definitely worth seeking out and enjoying for fans of creatively eclectic music.
Venue: Drom (NY)
Date: November 24, 2013
Concert review and photos by Matt Cole and Linda Boney
On Sunday, the 24th of November, I caught an enjoyable double bill of Dawoud Kringle‘s eclectic ensemble Renegade Sufi and Holly Cordero‘s jazzy project Truculently Audacious at Alphabet City’s Drom. Though different stylistically on the surface, these two bands nonetheless went quite well together.

Concert Review from New Orleans: Dr. Lonnie Smith emitting jazz licks that tickle the dark cobwebbed corners of the brain?!
Venue: Snug Harbor (New Orleans)
Date: November 29, 2013
Review and photo by DJ Ruby (DooBeeDoo’s New Orleans contributor)
Sublime may be the only appropriate way to describe B3 organ master Dr. Lonnie Smith’s November 29th performance for the small but packed room at Snug Harbor on bustling Frenchmen Street. With each key change the audience followed him eagerly through levels of exaltation in the music that seemed to ooze from his fingers.
