WHY DJ JAZZY JEFF IS MORE THAN JUST FRESH

It's hard to say DJ Jazzy Jeff without wanting to say "and the Fresh Prince" after it. In the 90s, the duo was unstoppable, both on TV on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, and on the airwaves, with such hits as "Parents Just Don't Understand" and "Summertime." They were also the first winners of a Grammy in the Rap category (in 1988). Jeff (Jeff Townes) was the jelly to Will Smith's peanut butter. But it's important to note that DJ Jazzy Jeff is a powerhouse on his own as a DJ. Last month, I saw him spin live at Fluid nightclub in San Francisco (an event I photographed for NapkinNights.com). Randomly does a DJ mesmerize the audience, and this crowd was captivated. While most good DJs will get the crowd roaring with a good back-in-the-day jam, DJ Jazzy Jeff had the club-goers screaming "Oh!" all night long. The place was ridiculously cramped, but everyone seemed happy to stand and/or dance. It was musical hypnosis, the perfect blend of old and new jams seamlessly mixed together, and basically one kick-ass night. DJ Jazzy Jeff is an incredible DJ. If you don't know, now you know.
