http://www.mysteriesoftherevolution.com/
 

MYSTERIES OF THE REVOLUTION featuring BB Davis of the legendary Red Orchidstra. Influences range from Miles, Hancock, Zawinul, George Duke, Roland Kirk, Coltrane, Mahavishnu, Liftetime to Hendrix, Zappa, Led Zep, Doors, Steely Dan to neo-classicism and retro-psychedelica classica all dished up in a sweaty, heady brew of heavily jazzified, passionate, funked up, blissed-out, head-on grooves with a whole dash a' finesse n' panache. Yeah, really!
 
 
REVIEWS:

"Ferocious and intoxicating music." (Chris May - All About Jazz)
 
"In the hands of Davis, Biro and Smith Mysteries of the Revolution is a unique combination of musical genres that avoids any trappings of excess,
performed with aplomb by a trio that has nothing to prove but plenty to say." (John Melman - Abstract Logix)
 
"...a very fresh take on an area of modern jazz that had been all but abandoned. There are so many sonic diversions on this record that a complete listing would truly be exhausting. You will turn this up VERY loud." (Mark Saleski - BC Magazine)
 
"...Oscar Wilde on acid." (Time Out)
 
"The orchestration is impressive in its vast scope... terrific funk-inspired work" (JazzReview.com)
 

"This is an outstanding album, particularly for those who enjoy keyboard-driven groove jazz with a psychedelic flavor." (wmshax)

About the Bedford:

 

 Originally a hotel developed in the 1830's, The Bedford has been the central community hub of Balham for it's entire existence. In the late sixties and seventies it was a spit and sawdust live music venue, serving as a springboard for early gigs by acts including The Clash and U2. It was also famously used as the courtroom for the unsolved murder case of Charles Bravo, upstairs in what was then the billiard hall, and which is now the Ballroom.

Our aim is to provide a first class night out for everybody, making full use of our three floors, five bars, and five function rooms. 

We offer dance classes four nights a week, live music five nights a week and club nights every Friday and Saturday. We've hosted the legendary Banana Cabaret comedy club for over 21 years every Friday and Saturday, as well as a New Acts comedy night, and one of the best Quiz nights in South London every Wednesday.

There aren't many better places to watch a live game of football or rugby than the Bedford. Our huge Globe Theatre creates an incredible atmosphere, which has seen considerable celebrations, nerves and not a few tears in the last ten years.
