Seed Is ..., the veteran soul/funk/reggae/hip-hop collective, is playing a benefit for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Saturday at the Taphouse. If you've heard about these guys but never seen them, here's your chance. This is a big band -- horns, keys, singing and rapping -- that makes a big, wide-ranging sound. The mix of styles could mean lack of focus and confusion. But whatever style these guys dip into -- rock, go-go, jazz -- it always sounds like them. Over a decade or more, they've perfected a musical gumbo that will move your hips and soothe your soul. Biggs, the ensemble's guitar player, is a busy guy. When he's not jamming with Seed Is ... he's laying down the roots rock with the reggae group Session Rockers. He's also an in-demand session dude who contributed bass playing to a track on Kanye West's disc "Graduation."
