3 Brave Souls: CD Launch Concert
Darryl Jones, John Beasley, Ronald Bruner Jr.
featuring Dwight Trible 

“ass-wiggling funk/jazz” Something Else!

“3 Brave Souls create a groove so deep you could fall right in.” Urban Flux
“Eclectic brand of funk…danceable music…songs with hypnotic grooves, a soulful stew or a silky ballad. Jazz Times

Three Miles Davis alumni and funk-feel-freaks, groovemeister and Rolling Stones’ bassist Darryl Jones, master drummer Ndugu Chancler, and keyboardist John Beasley, joined forces to form 3 Brave Souls and baptize classic jazz flavorings with contagious, penetrating funk grooves with honey dew sounds of southern soul.  Jumping into the box on Feb 08: Ronald Bruner Jr. just out of recording with Prince on drums and singers Dwight Trible and Nayanna Holley.
