Jill Scott in Atlanta
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
First R&B singer Jill Scott did a dynamic private show at the Georgia Freight Depot Monday evening, and then the following night many of her 11 band members - including drummer Lil John Roberts - took part in the weekly Tuesday Jam at Sugar Hill in Underground Atlanta.
Those two performances combined made for an exceptional way to start a week in live music on the Atlanta scene. And while many at Sugar Hill were expecting Scott herself to grace the stage - as she did earlier this year when she was in town filming Tyler Perry’s “Why Did I Get Married? ” - the line-up of folks in the audience and on the microphone were still worthwhile. If not remarkable, including: Anthony David, Keisha Jackson, Nicci Gilbert of Brownstone, Scar, Trina Meade of Three5Human, Phillipia, Kelsy Davis and Kerisha Roi. Backing them up were an ever-changing line-up of musicians including Roberts, guitarist Billy Odum and Phil Davis on keyboards. And of course there was the electric weekly hostess, Joi and local legend DJ Kemit on the turntables.
Did you see the Bailey’s invite-only show Monday? And/or get by Sugar Hill Tuesday? How would you review them?
