Back then, he would often find Jill Scott, India Arie and Erykah Badu jumping up on stage to “jam and open mic.” Such is the essence of “The Legacy Experience.” “I’m bringing East Coast vibes to L.A.,” says Blackstone of his hope to emulate the experience he had — a small room with artists who can be called on at any time to come up on stage. And yes, he can see everyone. The venue houses 150
