Share Your (Musical) NBAF Experience
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
You pull up to the venue within minutes of the start time — a rather early 7 p.m. — have trouble finding a parking space, and immediately you know: This isn’t your typical night out at an event in Atlanta.
It was a National Black Arts Festival event — specifically the traveling Jack Daniel’s Art Beats + Lyrics.
Inside the Foundry at Puritan Mills there was a sprawling urban art exhibition including work from local talents Maurice Evans, Shannon McCollum and John Crooms; another area where a mass of people were dancing along to DJ Rasta Root, accompanied by a live drummer; and you might not have even noticed that, say, Ray Murray, of legendary production team Organized Noize, was checking out the many artistic tributes to the hip-hop duo he helped elevate — OutKast.
Musically, it may have been one of this city’s most dynamic multimedia events of the year. Were you there? Stumble upon anything else of note during this year’s just-closed NBAF? Millie Jackson at the Rialto, perhaps?
