Irondale Ensemble Project
Brooklyn, NY. October 23 & 24, 2009, Mississippi based artists M.U.G.A.B.E.E will bring their unique blend of hip hop, jazz, spoken word to the Irondale center for an exclusive, two-night engagement featuring exceptional jazz pianist Courtney Bryan and a host of guest musicians in a return engagement to Brooklyn’s Iro...ndale Center. M.U.G.A.B.E.E is the combined talents of the brothers Carlton and Maurice Turner- singers, songwriters, playwrights, producers and teachers, whose explosive style of performance is sure to move your soul.
Performing selections from their two releases Earth Tones (2002) and World Domination (2006), M.U.G.A.B.E.E brings a wealth of experience and talent having shared the stage and studio with artists such as Cassandra Wilson, B.B. King, Bobby Rush, John Faddis, North Mississippi All-Stars, Trombone Shorty, the Wynton Marsalis Septet, the Last Poets, and many more.
The mission of M.U.G.A.B.E.E. is to encourage and actively promote, through thought provoking human interaction visualization and in turn an actualization of a just Earth filled with equitable rights for all of its inhabitants. Through music, workshops, lectures, open dialogues, spoken word and poetry M.U.G.A.B.E.E has worked in numerous communities across the South with youth groups, adult learners, community centers, churches and schools. Their work has taken them to the metro areas of New York, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Chicago, Atlanta, Miami and to the small towns of Putney, VT; Natchez, MS; Pine Lake, GA; and Bethlehem, PA.
About M.U.G.A.B.E.E.
Born Maurice S. Turner II and Carlton A. Turner, M.U.G.A.B.E.E. slipped into this life in Mt. Vernon, New York. Several years later they were relocated to rural Mississippi. But even at birth, the Turner brothers were everything that represents lifestyle and music in America. With a father from the heart of Harlem, New York and a mother from Utica, Mississippi, these two men began in the nucleus of the spectrum of life in America. In their music you can hear the influences of their mother’s Mississippi gospel bred blues meeting their fathers’ Harlem jazz swing into a crash, a bang, and a boom of late twentieth century urbanization. And just like their parents, they are a perfect compliment to each other. Having been formerly trained in music since their pre-teens, the Turners studied widely and veraciously during their university years. Maurice studied Microbiology and Music at Howard University and Music performance at Alcorn State University and the University of Mississippi. Carlton studied English and History at Alcorn State University and the University of Mississippi. Just as their formative years, their university studies reflected their diversity and desire to grow and become involved in the full dimensionality of the human existence.
