Live Film-Scoring duo Shaolin Jazz brings a unique multimedia experience to Wilmington, North Carolina
CAN I KICK IT? is an innovative film experience by Shaolin Jazz that caters to the lovers of martial arts flicks, music and everything else in between.

Wilmington, NC – The North Carolina Black Film Festival, Speller Street Films, and Black Kung Fu Cinema presents CAN I KICK IT?, an innovative film experience by Shaolin Jazz that caters to the lovers of martial arts flicks, music and everything else in between.
CAN I KICK IT?
On Saturday, October 15th “CAN I KICK IT” will screen one of the greatest martial arts movies ever made, Enter the Dragon starring the one and only Bruce Lee.
Lee plays a martial-arts expert determined to help capture the narcotics dealer whose gang was responsible for the death of his sister. He enters a Kung Fu competition in an attempt to fight his way to the dealer’s headquarters with the help of some friends.
At the event, the film will be scored live (scene-by-scene) by Shaolin Jazz co- founder DJ 2-Tone Jones who mixes elements of Funk, Soul, Hip- Hop, Rock, and more. 2-Tone also uses an array of techniques and sound bites to accentuate different moments in the film ranging from aggressive fight scenes to subtle love scenes.
DJ 2-Tone Jones, says “This isn’t just playing a DJ set during a movie. We incorporate the music with the movie so you can still follow the plot and hear the dialogue. You might have one scene using a song with lyrics and another using instrumental beds underneath. It’s weaving music over and under the film audio, just scoring the film, scene by scene.”
Event location
The event will take place at Jengo’s Playhouse (815 Princess St.).
DJ Bigg B of Coast 97.3FM will kick things off from 5:00 PM to 5:50 PM with a special DJ set.
At 5:50 PM, a karate demonstration by local martial artist Sensei David Ward of the Seiran Dojo.
The film (with a live music soundtrack by Shaolin Jazz) will begin at 6:00 PM.
