The Waterfront Jazz Series - Blusion

Blusion

Enjoying live jazz music on the shores of Suisun Marina with the cool breezes from the Suisun Marsh is a fantastic way to spend a lazy summer Sunday afternoon.  Bring your family, friends or church group to the Waterfront District for an afternoon of great music and picnicking!

The concerts run weekly from 3-5 p.m. on Harbor Plaza at Main Street and Solano Street.

Fronted by singer/bandleader Rustie Woods this funk-jazz fusion ensemble has performed throughout the Bay Area and beyond for the past twelve years.
From jazz festivals to county fairs their high-quality professional show is always a memorable favorite. Original, upbeat, offbeat and unconventional, Blusion® blends funk, Latin, hip-hop jazz, blues, rock and reggae into an unadulterated celebration.

The current Blusion® lineup has a much-sought-after rare and elusive chemistry that radiates off the stage. Combining the talents of young supremely gifted musicians and veteran professionals they create a sound that crosses generational as well as stylistic boundaries. The music is energetic, adventurous and engaging.

The funky rough-jazz fusion sound of Blusion® has graced the stage with such notable musicians as monster fusion and jazz drummer Steve Smith, fusion pioneers Spyro Gyra, singer songwriter Bonnie Hayes, guitar legend John Scofield, and blues/rock diva Lydia Pense, among others. Maintaining their tradition of musical diversity and excellence, Blusion® continues to bring an amalgam of styles to their music.

The Blusion® repertoire ranges from vocal and instrumental acoustic jazz standards to high-energy originals that defy categorization. All genre descriptions become irrelevant once the music begins. Funk, jazz, reggae, blues, rock and classical fuse and flow freely with seamless virtuosity and creativity. The party has just begun when Blusion® steps onto the stage.
