Guru Jazzmatazz Tribute Concert Planned For April 21 In New York City


Le Poisson Rouge will play host to an event remembering Guru's Jazz work a year and a day after his untimely death.

Revive Music Group will celebrate their fifth anniversary with a tribute concert dedicated to Keith "Guru" Elam's Jazzmatazz series. The show will take place on April 21 at New York City's Le Poisson Rouge. The event comes a year and two days after the untimely death of the emcee best known for founding the group Gang Starr.

The show will feature members of the Elam family, along with several of Guru's collaborators through the Jazzmatazz series. Between 1993 and 2007, Guru released four volumes of Jazzmatazz as well as a greatest hits compilation. The series involved Jazz greats such as Roy Ayers, Donald Byrd and Herbie Hancock, along with Hip Hop luminaries such as J Dilla, Common and Kool Keith.
