Abraham Inc. Brings the Party to NC
The culture-remix extraordinaires Abraham Inc. had crowds ‘wild with enthusiasm’ at recent back-to-back concerts in Winston-Salem and Raleigh. Classical Voice North Carolina published a brilliantly penned review of the shows:
“If clarinetist David Krakauer is the name-giver and organizing genius behind the genre-busting ensemble Abraham Inc., does that mean trombonist Fred Wesley is the law-giver, Moses? And if so, what about DJ Socalled, a.k.a. Josh Dolgin, or rapper C-Rayz Walz - where do they fit in? Well, if you were at the Secrest Artist Series performance in Winston-Salem on Thursday or in NCSU’s Stewart Theatre on Saturday night, where the joint was jumpin’, to borrow an old Fats Waller line, and where there was, quite literally, dancing in the aisles, you know that putting these folks together, in one place, makes for an extraordinary event.” [John W. Lambert for CVNC]
Also in attendance at the Raleigh show was funk immortal Maceo Parker, former saxophonist for James Brown and long-time friend and collaborator with Abe Inc.’s Fred Wesley, who joined the band for some photo ops after the show.
