Take Two is an immersive deep-listening night consisting of two elements: an uninterrupted, high-quality playback of a seminal jazz album, followed by a live, modern-day reinterpretation by New York City’s finest musicians.

Our sixth event will feature saxophonist Cedric 'Im' Brooks and the Divine Light with their 1973 classic album: From Mento to Reggae to Third World Music. 

Nikhil P. Yerawadekar will lead the live reinterpretation and explore the history of Jamaican music alongside another all-star band of musicians. Members of this eight-piece band have played with Cedric "Im" Brooks himself, Lee "Scratch" Perry, The Skatalites, Antibalas, and many more.

Lineup: 

> Nikhil P. Yerawadekar // Guitar & Vocals

> Anant Pradhan // Tenor Sax & Flutes

> Aaron Rockers // Trumpet

> Larry McDonald // Percussion

> Jeremiah // Percussion

> Yoshi Takemasa // Percussion

> Steve Capecci // Bass

Take Two will be held in a private house with an outdoor space in Bed-Stuy featuring vintage Klipsch loudspeakers and comfortable seating arrangements.
