Dwight Trible at Cabrini's in Los Angeles

Slide Show

Vibe. Cabrini’s has the décor and ambiance that is lit perfectly where arts, music and creativity are free to thrive. Cabrini’s has only been in existence for a few years but has only been open to the public for about four months. It seems like it will be an extremely hip place for coffee, cocktails, music and conversation.

Tonight, Dwight Trible, one of LA’s most amazing vocal talents, is here to perform with his sextet( Click picture at the top of the page for video). Joshua Spiegelman and Derf Reklaw begin the set with an incredible duo of Eastern and African sounds that open up the vortex of percussion and woodwinds that cause the spirit of the music to rain down and splash our musical souls. The texture, the colors, the mood and warm feeling of being in a place where the musical universe rises and hovers above its wanting subjects is seems to be the vibe.

Dwight Trible, conduit of peace, love, soul, sprit and jazz music that speaks. The air is thick and the walls are filled with the enchanting sounds of Trane, Africa, the motherland and “A Love Supreme”

Inside, my body is screaming! All I can do is close my eyes and float like a buoy with the musical ebbs and flows in the spiritual sea of music. I get so connected to a universe, a paradise, a land of milk and honey where love is overflowing and jazz music rules the land. The band is so grounded, so rich with flavor that they are literally a cognitive time machine.

It makes me think back to 1967 when John Coltrane performed in a church in a neighborhood where all were able to attend and witness the connection of the spirit and the music. The combination of jazz and spirit is so humbling. This purity allows you to go deep inside yourself and find that which your life has been missing, especially in this crazy ass world that we live in. When you find it, the idea is to go forth and shed some light on you fellow sisters and brothers. If these cats were on the battlefield, fighting would cease, the world would behold a universal sound of love and begin to heal.
