Led by singing trombonist Joe Bowie (younger brother of famed jazz trumpeter Lester Bowie), the seven-man Defunkt peddled black funk with dry bounce. Originally formed as James Chance's horn section, Defunkt also had ties with the world of avant-garde jazz, putting it in a unique and culturally resonant position.

Just a correction on the lineup: Kelvyn Bell wasn't on this gig, Ronny Drayton replaced him on guitar for this tour. The rest of the lineup is the same. Kelvyn's name may have been on the program, there were often last minute changes in personnel back then.

Thanks John! I'd be interested to hear any info you may have on this gig or the festival! P@ndora
