2018 PLAYBOY JAZZ FESTIVAL CELEBRATES 40 YEARS, HONORS 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF TOWER OF POWER



The Playboy Jazz Festival is iconic in many ways, with a jazz that is who and the R & B greats taking to the stage over the years to show love to fans while promoting their genre of universal language. This year marks four decades of the annual event that does just that, with a star lineup that kept the stage and fans in a relaxed and musically pleasing mood at the Hollywood Bowl.
Among those celebrating the 40th anniversary of the two-day Playboy Jazz Festival was the iconic soul collective Tower of Power, which held its own event on the last day of the event with 50 years entertaining the masses through albums and live performances.
Needless to say, T.O.P. (the co-founders Emilio Castillo and Stephen 'Doc' Kupka, Francis 'Rocco' Prestia, David Garibaldi, Roger Smith, Sal Cracchiolo, Adolfo Acosta, Tom Politzer and Jerry Cortez) did not disappoint when the group took the hat and the Playboy bunny - Ear that takes the crowd to his hometown of Oakland with his famous horns of the Tower of Power of 5 men shining with all his strength. From the opening notes of "Oakland Stroke" to "Knock Yourself Out" out of the ordinary, Tower of Power did much better what they do: make the crowd move and go without thinking of slowing down.
