Blue Note Digable Planets Summer
Blue Note presents Digable Planets Summer on Saturday, July 13, at 6 and 9 p.m. and Sunday, July 14, at 3 and 6:30 p.m. Digable Planets burst onto the music scene in 1993 with their Grammy-winning single, “Rebirth Of Slick (Cool Like Dat).” Made up of Ishmael Butler (“Butterfly”), Craig Irving (“Doodlebug”) and Mary Ann Vieira (“Ladybug Mecca”), the trio carved out a unique style of jazz-informed hip hop. Shortly after, Digable Planets followed up with their debut album, Reachin’ (A New Refutation of Time And Space), an ambitious offering that Pitchfork praised as “a world within a world, complete with its own language and monuments.” Blue Note, 1030 Main St., Napa, www.bluenotejazz.com/napa
