DESCRIPTION:Craig Charles returns for another night of Funk n Soul prestige\, with great live music and a DJ set from the man himself. This month features very special guests The Blackbyrds.
 The Blackbyrds are jazz-funk group with thick R&B streaks running down their backs.&nbsp\;Originally assembled in 1973 by their mentor and guiding light of jazz trumpet Donald Byrd\, the group quickly became a force to be reckoned with\, receiving Grammy nominations and selling over 1 million copies of their&nbsp\;1975 smash hit &lsquo\;Walking in Rhythm&rsquo\;.Though the band split in 1981\, their legacy has lived on\, becoming a source of inspiration for 1980&rsquo\;s British Jazz-Funk acts such as Light of the World and Hi-Tension.More recently\, they have made a significant impact on the hip-hop generation with Gang Starr\, Da Lench Mobb\, and Full Force sampling their music. In particular\, their 1975 song DQUOTERock Creek ParkDQUOTE from the City Life&nbsp\;album has been sampled numerous times by groups such as De La Soul\, Eric B. & Rakim\, Big Daddy Kane\, N.W.A\, Massive Attack\, Ice Cube\, Heavy D\, Nas and Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five amongst many&nbsp\;others.After reforming in 2012\, The Blackbyrds released their first new album in more than 30 years\, titled &ldquo\;Gotta Fly&rdquo\;. The group now features original members Keith Killgo\, Joe Hall\, Orville Saunders\, and Allan Barnes\, and in&nbsp\;tradition with their early mission\, also features some new younger members including former students\, continuing the mission that began with Donald Byrd over 40 years ago.&ldquo\;We&rsquo\;re not done yet\,&rdquo\; says Killgo. We have some more to say.&rdquo\;As ever\, Craig Charles takes to the stage to deliver another fine DJ set\, with an assortment of great funk and soul as well as a few other popular numbers that are guaranteed floor fillers.
