An Exploration of Japanese, Indian, Latin &amp; Jazz Fusion
Reuniting on stage for the first time in more than two decades — and appearing together in the United States for the first time — acclaimed shakuhachi artist John Kaizan Neptune and Grammy-winning ghatam virtuoso Giridhar Udupa come together for an extraordinary evening of music.
Joined by David Neptune on Takeda percussion, Christophe Ambrosino on guitar, and Spencer Hinkle on bass, the quintet explores original compositions shaped by Japanese melodies, South Indian rhythm, jazz improvisation, Latin influences, and musical traditions from around the world.
Across a rare 90-minute performance, the ensemble creates a sound that is at once intimate, adventurous, and deeply immersive. Each performance unfolds as a living conversation where melody, rhythm, and spontaneity meet in the moment.
More than a concert, Roots &amp; Rhythm celebrates musical friendship, creative exchange, and the power of music to connect people across generations, cultures, and borders.
Your presence helps sustain independent live music and meaningful artistic collaboration. We are deeply grateful to the patrons, supporters, and community members helping bring this experience to life.More information on <a href="https://www.rootsandrhythm.live" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">rootsandrhythm.live</a>

For a Los Angeles business owner, discovering that a merchant cash advance company has frozen the company bank account can trigger an immediate crisis. Payroll may be due, automatic payments may begin failing, and the business may suddenly lose access to the money needed to operate.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Get Legal Help Now! <a href="tel:888-201-0441" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">(888) 201-0441</a>
The most important question becomes: How do I unfreeze my business bank account from a merchant cash advance?
The answer depends on what caused the freeze. Business owners should act quickly&mdash;but avoid making assumptions or signing a new agreement before understanding the legal situation.
<h2>First, Find Out Why the Account Is Frozen</h2>
Call the bank and ask for the legal or levy department. Request copies of every document connected to the restriction, including:
<ul><li>The name of the MCA company or judgment creditor</li><li>The court and case number</li><li>The amount being restrained</li><li>The date the bank received the notice</li><li>Any levy, writ, judgment, restraining notice, or garnishment paperwork</li></ul>
A frozen account may result from a court judgment and bank levy. In other situations, the restriction may involve an ACH dispute, confessed judgment, out-of-state lawsuit, or enforcement action connected to a personal guaranty.
The correct response depends on which process was used.
<h2>Check for an MCA Lawsuit or Default Judgment</h2>
Some business owners first learn that an MCA company filed a lawsuit when their bank account stops working. This can happen when legal papers were sent to an old address, delivered to someone else, or allegedly served without reaching the owner.
Search the court identified in the bank&rsquo;s paperwork. Confirm whether a judgment exists and review the case docket, complaint, proof of service, and enforcement documents.
If a default judgment was entered, an attorney may evaluate whether there are grounds to challenge service, seek relief from the judgment, contest enforcement, or request emergency court intervention. No specific result is guaranteed, and deadlines can be short.
<h2>Do Not Ignore the Freeze</h2>
Waiting can make the problem harder. California Courts explains that bank levies involve formal procedures and deadlines, although the protections available in a particular case depend on the account, the debt, and the facts. Business accounts and commercial debts should not be treated automatically like consumer accounts.
Before agreeing to additional payments or providing sensitive financial information to the MCA company, consider having the agreement and court record reviewed. An attorney can examine whether the MCA transaction operated as a true purchase of future receivables or may raise other legal or contractual defenses.
<h2>Los Angeles Business Owners Can Request an Urgent Review</h2>
