We lost our gigs.
In the wake of this Covid-19 Pandemic, we have lost our gigs. Us the entertainers, the musicians, the photographers, the writers, the performers, the artists, the creatives; the cultural founders of society. We have been postponed and canceled so we made a podcast to bring together our community. Showcasing creatives from the NJ, NY, NYC, CT, & PA areas. A podcast hosted by Remi Leibovic and Produced by Dane Wagner.
About Darryl:
Critically acclaimed saxophonist Darryl Yokley has been recognized as a very talented composer and arranger by The New York Times, Downbeat Magazine, and more for writing unforgettable tunes for his band Sound Reformation, which released their second album Pictures at an African Exhibition in April of 2018. Yokley and Sound Reformation have performed as headliners in the Kennedy Center, The Paul Brown Monday night series, Salsa meets Jazz Festival, The Philadelphia Museum of Art, and many jazz venues all over the country. Jazz critic Brent Black described Yokley's playing by saying “Yokley is a critic’s worst nightmare as he side steps standard categorization with ease" and Dave Cantor of Downbeat Magazine said of his recent release Pictures at an African Exhibition that the young saxophonist was "nakedly shuttling emotion through his instrument." However his music and playing are described, the consensus is that Darryl Yokley is an artist with a unique concept and a sound like no one else.
