Yay (Bay) Area Folk: Rahsaan Patterson @ Oakland's Yoshi's Rahsaan Patterson
R&B Vocalist Oct 4, 2007 - Oct 7, 2007 Thurs 8pm & 10pm $24 Fri. & Sat 8pm & 10pm $28 Sun 7pm $28 & 9pm $24 His remarkable vocal instrument weaves a tapestry of musical colors and textures. It is incomparable and distinctive. He is blessed with the ability to effortlessly blend gospel, blues, jazz and soul, often all within the same song. A lyrical poet of the first order and leader in the Neo Soul movement, Rahsaan Patterson doesn’t take a commercial approach to creating his work, and as a result, is known for making music that is not only soulful, but enduring. As a singer/songwriter/producer, Rahsaan consistently redefines himself and his music by reaching beyond the boundaries of soul music and by embracing his musical passions to arrive at a sound that is uniquely his own. He plays at Yoshi’s for the first time in support of his new CD Wines & Spirits, released this fall.

You know I wanna cry right now. I haven't been to Yoshi's yet 
I want to perform there when I start my career "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

They gotta stay booked year round, you'd think they'd let anyone that wanted to play there I wish P would do 3121 there, it'd be SO damn perfect

Ledisi has played there as well, so I think they do other genres and not just jazz. nWo: bboy87 - Timmy84 - LittleBlueCorvette - MuthaFunka - phunkdaddy - Christopher

Ledisi has played there as well, so I think they do other genres and not just jazz. They have been branching out for a while now. But Rahsaan, Ledisi, or Amel Larrieux (who has played there as well), are exactly major departures from jazz. | |

Larrieux played there to promote her jazz covers album though...didn't she? i don't even know who Ledisi is.
