Picture \u201cPush It\u201d by Rick Ross<\/a> or \u201cC.R.E.A.M.\u201d by Wu-Tang Clan, transformed into a soft jazz<\/a> rendition by a local trio or quartet \u2014 all while you sip a cocktail on a rooftop, enjoying the Miami breeze (if you\u2019re lucky) in one of the city\u2019s most popular neighborhoods, Wynwood<\/a>. If that has been your melomaniac fantasy, your dreams may have just come true.<\/p>\n

Under the slogan \u201cHip-Hop\u2026 Reimagined,\u201d On&On is opening in Wynwood this Friday. The rooftop patio concept is located above Shiso Asian Smokehouse<\/a> at 239 NW 28th St.<\/p>\n

The spot promises weekly live music blending live instrumentation, DJ sets, and local singers. Programming will center around soulful jazz interpretations of hip-hop<\/a> classics.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want guests to feel like they\u2019ve discovered something truly special \u2014 an experience they can\u2019t find anywhere else. On & On is centered around reimagining hip-hop in an intimate live setting, bringing together exceptional musicians and vocalists to reinterpret iconic records, creating a sense of artistry that feels both timeless and entirely new,\u201d says Michael Schwartz of Forward Hospitality Group in a press release sent to New Times.<\/p>\n

Friday nights will be divided into two sets and feature different styles of performances, while always staying true to classic hip-hop renditions. Among the vocalists scheduled for May are Maya Azucena,<\/a> a San Marino Song Contest winner known for her powerful soulful style and ability to transform classics into fresh new versions, and Alexander Star,<\/a> a Silver Addy winner who will bring his charisma and talent to the mix.<\/p>\n

The performers are curated by Stephen Tate, co-founder of Miami Jazz Booking<\/a> and the person responsible for selecting talent for several other spots around town, including Medium Cool, Michael\u2019s Genuine, MOCA North Miami, and others.<\/p>\n

\u201cON & ON is built around the idea that music doesn\u2019t just fill a room, it defines it. The experience brings together Miami\u2019s top jazz, funk, and soul instrumentalists with a rotating cast of the city\u2019s most compelling vocalists, creating a live musical dialogue shaped by exploration, improvisation, and feel,\u201d shares Tate.<\/p>\n

So if jazz and hip-hop are your jams, On & On seems like the newest option in town for you. As for us, we\u2019ve already started drafting our list of requests \u2014 though we\u2019re still not sure they\u2019ll take them.<\/p>\n
