It was just a year ago that the Black Box family lost Justin Jay, and so it's fitting that tonight the recording studio celebrates the release of its second compilation with a face-melting show at the Casbah. While hearts will be heavy on the eve of the anniversary of Jay's sudden passing, spirits should be high because everyone knows that Justin would've wanted all of his friends and colleagues to celebrate the goodness of life.
