London and NYC Club and Concert Listings Review: Mark de Clive-Lowe - Jazz Cafe, London - Friday 15 August 2003 Writer/Photos: Damian Platt A 'glitch in the matrix' lead to the surprise residency of keyboard wizard MDCL and pals for a two day stint to kick off the Philly Soul festival at the Jazz Café in Camden. Know The Ledge jumped at the chance to see the man behind so much quality music, accompanied by some serious talent: a mean vocal selction - Abdul Shyllon (of Relax Unwind notoriety), Bembe Segue (the cartoon princess), Lyric L (Loose Lips!!!), and accompanied by the K-cat Kaidi Tatham plus Richard Spaven on the drums. With special guests fellow New Zealander reed maestro Nathan Haines and Philly rapper Capitol A in the house, this was a special soirée for all the crew! Some nice funky music rocked the venue and the enthusastic crowd. The highlights for me included a slow and sensual version of Relax Unwind featuring Nathan Haines clarinet solo badness; the killer MDCL version of Move on Up and a top Lyric L and Capitol A freestyle lyricaerobics demo. BAD BAD BAD!!! Wicked stuff. The man Vikter Duplaix was doing the DJ thing for the rest of the night but after a heavy week, KTL had to hit the road. Only small beef about the proceedings is that the Jazz Café's door price of 15 squids is still quite a lot of $$$ for many punters to shell out...                                                         RELATED LINKS: Mark de Clive-Lowe website Mark de Clive Lowe's profile - on nzmusic.com Know The Ledge Q&A with Mark de Clive-Lowe Agent K (Kaidi Tatham) album review Know The Ledge Q&A with Kaidi Tatham Bembe Segue concert Review - at Jazz Cafe, 9 March 2003 Buy Mark's Six Degrees at Amazon UK  | US Buy Mark's Melodius Beats album at Smoke CDs PUBLISHED: Wednesday 10 September 2003 More Reviews EMAIL UPDATES!
