About
What to expect
Fred Wesley and The J.B.'s were one of the most influential funk bands of the 1970s, helping define the sound of James Brown and lay foundations for funk, disco, hip-hop and modern dance music.
The group was led by trombonist, arranger and bandleader Fred Wesley and included Maceo Parker, Jimmy Nolen, Clyde Stubblefield and John 'Jabo' Starks.
Fred Wesley later joined George Clinton's Parliament-Funkadelic, and The J.B.'s recordings were sampled by artists including Public Enemy, Eric B. & Rakim and De La Soul.
The event celebrates the 50th anniversary of the 1977 album 'A Blow For Me, A Toot To You', produced by Fred Wesley with George Clinton and Bootsy Collins.
