Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings brought the Daptone Super Soul Review show to the Beacon Theater last night. Playing to a sold out hometown crowd, the 50-something Jones and her amazing band, the Dap Kings, tore through a funk'd out, soul'd up two hour set of some of their best songs. Truly amazed by how passionate Jones' singing and dancing is on stage....overall, a great show.
The band is on Letterman on Monday then head out on a European tour.

I saw the Dap kings play at the Black Cat in D.C. and I'm gonna tell you what____(pregnant pause)_____THEY JAMMED! I was surprised to see that most of the crowd were young folks in their 20's and early 30s...everyone had a blast and Sharon brought many of the audience members on stage for some impromptu dancing/play...The horn section absolutely rocks and the guys all have their dance moves managed down to the finest detail - I should know I stodd right in front of them...Anyway, it is really cool to see a band like this bring smokin' music and great energy to the stage in a day and age of over-produced, gratuitiously mediocre claptrap - TO HELL WITH MTV and LONG LIVE SHARON JONES!!!!
