April 3- 9, 2003 list cap Sex Mob
Some say the word jazz originated as a slang term for sex. The music itself sprang up at the turn of the century as the raunchy bastard child of ragtime and the blues. In the big band era, it was the soundtrack for dance-floor courtships and the bedroom activities that followed. But somewhere over the years, jazz traded much of its provocative nature and popular appeal for critical cache and scholastic recognition. Now after the turn of another century, at least one jazz bandleader has resolved to rectify that. Sex Mob’s Steven Bernstein is doing his best to take back the dance floors. By improvising on songs by Prince, Nirvana, James Brown and even The Cardigans, Bernstein and his mob are making jazz popular again, by making popular music jazz. This time around, they lend their love-making skills to the music of Little Richard, Duke Ellington and James Bond composer John Barry. The night will also feature original Sex Mob tunes inspired by the writings of noir novelist James Ellroy. Sat., April 5, 8 p.m., $11-$22, Painted Bride, 230 Vine St., 215-925-9914.
