Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings MUSIC
Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings

These Brooklyn funk/soul resuscitators capture the intangible feeling that permeated the very air of the Stax and Muscle Shoals studios in the late '60s and early '70s. It's the same feeling that launched thousands of hiphop records and ignited countless house parties and club nights. Sharon Jones is a fiftysomething dynamo who reimagines James Brown as a BBW: She's a whirlwind of sassy moves, soul- shaking lung power, and delightfully flirtatious stage banter. Her Dap-Kings are A+ students of soul music who sound anything but academic. (Showbox at the Market, 1426 First Ave, 628-3151. 8 pm, $23 adv/$25 DOS, all ages.) by Dave Segal
