Baba Israel To Be Featured In Next “LIVE from SAC” Concert

Home Arts

For the latest LIVE from SAC, presented in collaboration with The Jam Session, Inc., Hip Hop artist, rapper, and human beat boxer, Baba Israel, will team up with a dynamic group of Jazz musicians for a unique fusion of Hip Hop, Salsa and Jazz.

“We are trying to showcase that most of today’s music in the western world has common roots and are not unique separate styles: Hip Hop and Rap was heavily influenced by the Latin music scene in the South Bronx, and Jazz has been influenced by Latin music, European classical and military music and of course African music,” noted Claes Brondal of The Jam Session, Inc. “This musical gumbo of music will be performed by some of the most accomplished musicians on the scene today, with many years of experience and having played with some of the giants of Latin, Jazz and Hip Hop, such as Mongo Santamaria, Dave Valentin, Chucho Valdez, Freddie Hubbard, Herbie Hancock, Outkast and Vernon Reid.”

Taking place on Saturday, May 20 at Southampton Arts Center, LIVE from SAC: Hip Hop Meets Salsa & Jazz with Baba Israel and Friends will feature Israel alongside Ada Rovatti on saxophone, Bill O’Connell on piano, Santi DeBriano on bass, and Brondal on drums.

Israel’s parents were core members of the Living Theatre. While growing up in New York, he experimented with the spoken word, Hip Hop, and experimental performance by developing his talents at venues like the Nuyorican Poets Café and with Akim Funk Buddah and the Nomadic Lotus. Eventually he moved to Australia where he focused on community theatre projects and festivals, and co-founded Meta Bass ‘n’ Breath, an infamous theatrical Hip Hop band. That’s also where Israel began his illustrious career as an arts educator and consultant for prestigious organizations such as Urban Word, BAM, and the University of Madison. Additionally, Israel served as a cultural ambassador with the State Department presenting workshops and performances across South East Asia, the South Pacific, and in Gambia and Turkey.

During Israel’s lengthy music career, he has released a number of albums and worked with artists like DJ Logic, Ming and FS, Zion I, Invincible, DJ Kiva, P-Money, and Yako 440. He has performed across the US, Europe, South America, Australia and Asia, sharing the stage with artists such as Outkast, Philip Glass, Rahzel, Lester Bowie, KRS ONE, and Vernon Reid.

Most recently, Israel, who is now back in New York, has partnered with Leo Kay of Unfinished Business and Yako 440 for a work that was inspired by his late father Steve Ben Israel. “Jazz has been one of my great inspirations and influences,” the musician noted. “My father was a Jazz drummer and I spent time in the Jazz clubs of New York as a kid. As I got older I found myself collaborating with Jazz musicians as an emcee and man did it push me in exploring improvisation.”

“We would like to invite many kids and young adults to attend this concert as the music appeals to a wide range of age groups, thus bringing in an audience of mixed demographics and generations,” Brondal added.

Tickets to LIVE from SAC: Hip Hop Meets Salsa & Jazz with Baba Israel and Friends are $15. The doors will open at 6:30 p.m. for a pre-concert reception with refreshments compliments of Union Cantina and Wölffer Estate Vineyard.

Southampton Arts Center is located at 25 Jobs Lane in Southampton. For more information, call 631-283-0967 or visit southamptonartscenter.org.

  • If all you know about Calissa in Water Mill is the celebrity-packed VIP section, you might be missing the big picture. The real star is the food. Calissa is the best Greek food in the Hamptons – confidently classic, casually chic – just what I’m looking for in a Hamptons dinner. ⁠
⁠
Thankfully, Calissa is not a reincarnation or reinvention. The focus is on execution and quality, not ego and look-what-we-can-do. It’s a classic for a reason.⁠
⁠
I may not be a food critic, but my fiancé is a private chef (actually, she’s “THE” private chef), so you already know how well we eat. That is to say, we had an incredible meal at Calissa, and I don’t think enough people are talking about how phenomenal the restaurant is.⁠

⁠
Simultaneously, a VIP gifting suite and lounge at Hero Beach Club in Montauk kept the momentum going with music by Rachel Winters and Ana Boo. To mark the special occasion, guests were treated to Hammitt bags with Montauk Tattoo personalized leather bag tags.

  • Montauk has a new hospitality gem: Mary Lou’s Montauk. The high-energy, design-forward concept that blends coastal dining with a sense of playful excess. Mary Lou’s offers nightly dinner service, a full cocktail lounge and weekend music programming that blends nostalgic vibes with fresh energy.⁠
⁠
After launching in Palm Beach, the team behind Mary Lou’s, Alex Melillo, Joe Cervasio, and Topher Grubb, are bringing the vibe north, teaming up with NDT Development to open a new outpost at 474 West Lake Drive.⁠
⁠
Alex Melillo, co-founder of Mary Lou’s, shared about the origins of the concept, why Montauk was the next natural step and what guests can expect from this summer’s new venue.⁠
⁠
Can you walk us through the journey of how the idea for Mary Lou’s came to life?⁠
⁠
The idea for Mary Lou’s was born out of a genuine love for creating lasting memories and shared experiences. We’ve always admired the golden era of New York’s nightlife – when people went out to truly let go, to dance without restraint, and to enjoy the moment without ego. There was a certain magic back then, a raw energy that felt authentic and uninhibited.⁠

  • “Tonight is our most successful benefit ever!” said Louis Bradbury, LongHouse Reserve Board President, “We’re grateful for our co-chairs Gael Towey and Raisa Lopez-Rhoden, for their incredible leadership in bringing tonight to life.” For this special evening, themed, “LUMINOSITY’, the 16-acre sculpture garden and nature sanctuary lit up with vibrant colors, live music, community love, and lots of laughter. “With 100% board participation, our benefit sold out before invitations were ever sent!“, continued Bradbury, “How many of you have come to LongHouse more than once in a year? Have you seen the four seasons here? Daffodils, cherry blossoms, and azaleas in Spring; lush green of Summer; brilliant Autumn leaves, and spectacular snowdrops and witch hazel in Winter. Tonight, we come together in gratitude for all of it.”⁠
