Date Change: Jae Blaze hosts audition for dancers October 4!
Jae Blaze hosts audition for dancers October 4!
The heavy rain associated with Tropical Storm Nicole have forced the management team of artiste Razor B to change the date of the dance auditions with international choreographer, Jae Blaze, from Sunday, October 3 to Monday, October 4.
The Canada-based Jae Blaze, who just concluded a tour with Grammy winner Black Eyed Peas, is scheduled to arrive in the island Sunday morning. She is scouting between 10 and 12 dancers to perform in the music video for Razor B’s breakout single, Hot Girls To The Ring. Already the local dance community is excited at the opportunity to work with this talented and well-connected choreographer and Jae herself is looking forward to her first official video shoot in her homeland – Jamaica.
Earlier this year, Jae choreographed the electrifying dance routine by Bree Wasylenko and Edgar Gilbert-Reyes on the popular television show So You Think You Can Dance Canada. The routine, was performed to Vybz Kartel’s hit song, Clarks. Jae also choreographed dance for the ‘Songs Segment’ at the 81st Academy Awards (held in Hollywood on February 22, 2009), and for the movies “Make It Happen,” starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead, “The Cheetah Girls” starring Raven Symoné, and “New York Minute” starring Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen.
Jae understands that in order to get there, dancers have to go through the early stages which includes music videos. “Some of the first people who embraced me along my journey were music video directors like Hype Williams who directed Nelly Furtado’s song “On The Radio,” Little X (now named Mr. X) who directed Sean Paul’s song Get Busy and Kardinal Offishall’s Belly Dancer. That’s why this casting call for dancers is special to me – I know what it can do for a dancers’ career!”
When asked why this shoot is so special to Jae, she said “shooting a video in my home country of Jamaica, and to a song as hot as ‘Hot Girls to the Ring,’ yuh done know!”
Dancers are invited to attend Victoria House, located at 11 Lindsay Crescent on October 3rd, 2010 at 12:00pm for auditions. Jae Blaze will personally be on hand to choose the dancers who will work best for the video’s dance segment. The video shoot will take place at various locations in Kingston on October 5 and 6.
Media can preview / download a copy of Razor B’s song here

Empress Minott Releases "Shine"!
Greetings!
If there's anything we know for sure about
nature; no matter how much it rains the day
before, the sun will surely come out the day
after. Empress Minott sings this point oh
so beautifully in her newest release to the
network called "Shine!"
The best of us and all of us go through difficult
days and times, but through Empress Minott's
chune, she encourages us to keep focused
on tomorrow because tomorrow is better.
Empress sings: "another day living in the
struggle / no where to go / who we aguh talk
to / playing the role of mommy and daddy /
need the strength to put food on the table /
even though sometimes it seems that there
ain't no hope / but I know that I will never
give up / the sun gone shine for me again...."
Kaboom! Combine the lyrics with the beautiful
one drop background, and you have a solid
chune!

►►► Classic Friday! ►►► The First Cut is the...?!
Greetings!
We've heard our parents and grandparents
use this expression all the time, and it's true!
The first cut is the deepest!
Can you ever forget your first boyfriend or
girlfriend? Your first day at school in highschool,
the first stage you performed on, the first time
you flew to a foreign country to perform, or
the first time you fell in love with the art of
playing music for crowds?! Those are all 'first
cuts!'
In Reggae, Norma Fraser originated the chune
"The First Cut Is the Deepest" for Studio One
which when released in 1967, was a massive
hit, and an immediate classic (her song was a
cover from the original written and sung by
Rock artist Cat Stevens, also in 1967). Between
the guitar riff intro, the bubbling vibe of the bass
and Norma's sweet sugary voice, people find it
hard to resist dancing to this chune, even with
its age.
In 1984, George Phang re-made the instrumental
for his Power House Records label, and released
it as a riddim which included the vocals of Dennis
Brown, Pinchers, Super Cat and Charlie Chaplin.
Each song did well for the artists, adding depth to
their performance catalogue.
Today, a 'big people's' Dancehall session is not the
same if the DJ doesn't play Norma Fraser's chune,
as well as cuts from the riddim!
Broadcasting at 320kbps, catch the First Cut Is
The Deepest riddim, including the original by
Norma Fraser here:
Note: "The First Cut is The Deepest" has also been
covered by Marcia Griffiths and Cynthia Schloss
from the UK!
P.S. Thanks to DJ Raize, I was linked to Byze who
through down a classic radio show a few weeks ago
which is all classics. You have to check out the show
For me to tell you like this means it a shat dih place.
You can even hear the vinyl records scratching!
