Friday January 14, 2011 will be a very special day, The Jordan Years will be performing with the Diplomats of Solid Sound to mark the 8 year anniversary of Chicago’s Darkroom. DOSS have been on my radar for many years now, in fact they got their start in 2001 after releasing their first 7″ single “Bullfrog Boogaloo“. DOSS have been keeping it funky ever since, backing up Chicago soul man Andre Williams for the Pravda Records / Vampisoul release “Aphrodisiac” in May 2006, and the group has even shared stages with Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, Robert Walter, Wilco, The New Mastersounds and The James Taylor Quartet. In 2010, DOSS released their “What Goes Around Comes Around” LP on Italian label Record Kicks. This show is going to be amazingly funky!!!
Last year The Jordan Years had the great pleasure of playing house band to Dre Day ’10, an evening of music inspired by Dr Dre. The band were joined by Chicago’s top MCs including Psalm One, Ang 13, Wondur, Vitamen D, ADAD, Shadow Master MC, Ill Legit, Phillip Morris, etc. Not sure how we will top that!!!
TJY were asked back, this time the event will be held at legendary Chicago venue Double Door, Friday February 18, 2011! More details to come!
Here’s one of my favorite performances from Dre Day ’10, enjoy!

Here’s a little taste from Dre Day 2010. The Jordan Years performing “Big Egos” with the help of Shadow Master MC.
The Jordan Years record release party at Darkroom was a hit! The night featured: disco balls, broken guitar straps, a horn section (AJ Kluth, Raphael Crawford, & James Davis), superb guest MCs (Ill Legit, Mr Greenweedz, Wondur, & Ramsey Judson), Chicago’s NPR affiliate WBEZ (who brought out 15+ staff to the show), Qbo (photographer behind TJY’s 45 cover) took pics all night, Chad Wilson shot video, and lots of love and support from the packed house. Photos, Video, and Audio will all be coming soon!!!!!
Special thanks to East of Edens Soul Express and DJ LA Jesus for keeping the tables FUNKY, to Emilie Jaeger Sound for a great set and a hilarious soundcheck complete with West Side Story tunes (I feel pretty too, thank you very much), and most importantly to Arunas from Darkroom for being the coolest guy alive!!!!!
