Ghettogloss Presents: An art conglomerate on the move says…

Allee Willis loves a project. Writing iconic American songs like "September" and "Boogie Wonderland" for Earth, Wind & Fire, and "The Neutron Dance" for Beverly Hills Cop, plus music for the recent Color Purple musical, isn't enough for this dynamo. She also collects and makes art, and produces online music videos for a series of eccentric collaborative undertakings. The latest of these unlikely partnerships is celebrated in a debut party at Ghettogloss, as Willis unveils Hey Jerrie! — an original song and video starring incomparable nonagenarian jazz drummer Jerrie Thill. Tonight's party fetes Thill's enduring sass and sparkle with music, video, and even an oxygen bar, in honor of the tank she uses behind the drums.
