Sharon
Jones & The Dap Kings - Jackie Robinson Park 7PM FREE
Sharon
Jones and the Dap
Kings perform a very lovingly purist homage to soul
in the era just before the genre started to go down the tubes. Augusta,
GA native Jones owns an uncommonly powerful set of pipes and the
Dap Kings, Daptone’s house band, are very proficient and a
bit on the polished side, but can get as funky as they should be.
Either way, the whole package is something to see, particularly
in this setting (c’mon, ambience is half the game!). Tonight’s
free show takes place in Harlem’s historic WPA-era Jackie
Robinson Park (former Colonial Park).
