the first short reviews:

WEST PALM BEACH — You know that old jam by Indeep, Last Night a DJ Saved My Life?

It's pretty certain that the folks in the crowd at the inaugural Soulfull Saturday event at the Meyer Amphitheatre, as well as the show's organizers, were thinking the same thing.

And that's because a long, long lull between acts and an eventual set switch caused by the as-yet-unexplained delay by soul diva Lauryn Hill was more than adequately filled by the old-school jams and wit of DJ Irie, the official DJ of the NBA champion Miami Heat and the unofficial savior of the night.

Irie, who had been laying down the tracks and keeping the party moving since 2 p.m., seamlessly bridged the gap between India.Arie's uplifting set and the appearance by Philadelphia's The Roots. Spinning everything from EU's Da Butt to an entire New Edition/Bell Biv DeVoe retrospective, the DJ turned what could have been hideous dead space and an uncomfortable moment into a joyful party.

Hill, who was supposed to have come on after India.Arie and before The Roots, eventually started around 9:45 p.m. after city officials agreed to extend the concert past the agreed 11 p.m. curfew. The Rev. Al Green was expected to follow with a shortened set.

And it all started out so well — right at 2 p.m. on the dot, DJ Irie began his first set, followed by the jazzy vibe of Miami's Against The Girl. D.C.'s Politicks, a collective of young men with sort of a Jamiroquai, Maroon 5-ish thing going for them, were next. Both bands were strong and illustrated the many moods of soul.

If Against The Girl was jazzy soul and Politicks was hip-hop soul, India.Arie was... well they call it "neo-soul," this heady swirl of Afrocentric grooves, coffeehouse spoken word cool and the insistent edge of bass and guitars. But there are very few words for what India.Arie does, other than come onto a stage seemingly without ego or pretense, spread her wings and summon a spiritually rich funk. And then she invites the crowd along for the party.

And I do mean wings — the now-bald singer was sporting a pair of butterfly wings, which fit nicely with her guitar strap. She did some new songs, including the witty, instructive I Am Not My Hair, some old songs, like her breakthrough hit Video, the sexy and sweet The Truth and Brown Skin, and a few other people's songs, including Bob Marley's Redemption Song.

She also told some great stories, including how she went swimming in the Atlantic before the show and was afraid to let the seaweed touch her.

"I am not earthy," she said, refuting the image that her head wraps and African-fabric skirts give. "I'm a humanitarian."

SEEN AND HEARD AT SOULFEST SATURDAY AND ELSEWHERE . . .

. . . R&B star Lauryn Hill, one of the headliners at Saturday's music festival in downtown WPB, insisted on renting 20 rooms at the Four Seasons for her family (she's married to Rohan Marley, a former University of Miami football star and son of reggae king Bob Marley) and extensive entourage — forget that she lives in North Miami Beach. . . . His mama, Ilene Silber, ran WPB Mayor Lois Frankel's election campaign four years ago, but Brian Silber, one of the organizers of the festival, passed on getting Frankel involved when the city refused to permit the event for an attendance of 10,000 and limited it to a less lucrative 8,500 instead. . . . What organizers did get from the city, however, was to let the show run past 11 p.m. Diva Hill showed up 2 1/2 hours late for her set, throwing the entire festival off schedule. . . .
