FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- To celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the original broadcast of the Philadelphia music film JAZZYFATNASTEES: IN PROCESS, Reelblack Presents will host a special screening of the now classic documentary, along with LEAKED NIGHT AT THE FIVE SPOT, a selection of rare and never-before-seen music films and performance clips by artists from the Black Lily from the Reelblack/Captured Soul vaults.
The one night only event, hosted by WURD-AM's Stephanie Renee, will take place at International House, 3701 Chestnut Street in University City on Tuesday May 8, 2012 at 7pm.  Admission is $9.00 Adults/ $7.00 Students and Seniors.   Reelblack Season 9, Scribe Video Center  and International House members will be admitted free of charge.  Jazzzyfatnastees, Kindred The Family Soul  and other Black Lily All-Stars will be in attendance.
The screening will also serve as the release party for the LEAKED NIGHT AT THE FIVE SPOT DVD, which inludes over 50 minutes of bonus performances captured live at the Black Lily Women In Music Showcase from 1999-2005.  The Black Lily was a weekly live music event founded by Jazzyfatnastees  that took place at the now demolished  Five Spot nightclub in Old City. It served as the launching pad for such artists as Floetry, Jazmine Sullivan, Jaguar Wright, Lady Alma and Aaries, who are all featured on the LEAKED NIGHT DVD. The DVD will be sold for $15.00 at the show and online at www.reelblack.com.  Proceeds from the night will go towards the completion of the long-awaited concert film LAST NIGHT AT THE FIVE SPOT, which is an all-star concert film starring artists who made their name at The Black Lily.
JAZZYFATNASTEES: IN PROCESS (2002/DVD/20 minutes/ dir. Michael Dennis) was originally broadcast in June 2002 on WYBE-TV's Philadelphia Stories.  It came about as a result of filmmakers Mike D. and Daryl DeBrest's near-religious visits to the Tuesday night jam sessions.  "Each week we came to see something new, hear something new, feel something new and sometimes something old in a new way, " recalls DeBrest.  The film created the opportunity to do more music documentaries on Jazmine Sullivan, Kindred The Family Soul and Lady Alma, all of which will be seen on Tuesday night.
The live performance clips were selected  to capture the excitement of the Lily circa 2002 and were culled from the original masters from over 50 hours of video and audio material. "People have been asking us for years to make this footage available," explains Mike . " We have occasionally posted clips to YouTube, but the 10th anniversary gives us the opportunity to share almost an hour of material that has never been seen by the general public.  It's going to be awesome seeing this on the big screen with IHouse's amazing projection and sound."
