Would be nice to stay for the Wadada Leo Smith performance on the 12th, but I just can't do it. Maybe he'll be in Knoxville next year? Six a.m. Southwest flight home on the 13th?

kh1958 Posted September 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 October 25 at Annette Strauss Square A classical tabla virtuoso of the highest order, Zakir Hussain is well-known for his constant explorations of music from around the world. His latest ensemble, CrossCurrents, attempts to portray all directions of inspiration between the idioms of jazz and Indian music. The great bassist Dave Holland, a player with one of the most distinguished careers in jazz, brings his singular vision to the group. The ensemble pays tribute to pioneering musicians and composers on opposite sides of the world who built a bridge which could be traversed in both directions. Hussain says of CrossCurrents: “The influence of Indian classical music on jazz is widely known. Less known, however, is the influence of jazz on the popular music of India. Jazz first came to India by way of the Hollywood musicals of the 1930s and’ 40s and quickly influenced the music of India’s burgeoning film industry. The improvisational nature of jazz was familiar to Indian composers and musicians, who found a way to incorporate jazz harmonies and chord progressions into their work. As a few decades passed, and as the West was enjoying the inspiration of Indian classical music, certain musicians came to influence popular music in India in a big way. Among these are jazz pianist Louiz Banks, jazz guitarist Sanjay Divecha, and superstar composer/vocalist Shankar Mahadevan.” CROSSCURRENTS IS: Zakir Hussain, tabla Dave Holland, bass Chris Potter, saxophone Ganesh Rajagopalan, violin/vocals Louiz Banks, keyboards Sanjay Divecha, guitar Gino Banks, drums FRIDAY OCTOBER 13 AT&T Performing Arts Center Dallas, TX Band: Herbie Hancock, Vinnie Colaiuta, James Genus, Terrace Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh1958 Posted October 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 LUCIAN BAN & MAT MANERI “TRANSYLVANIAN CONCERT” LUCIAN BAN & MAT MANERI “Transylvanian Concert” Concert & Workshop Oct 30th Blackerby Stage and Studio Ticketing details will be announced sept 30th This event is presented with support from the Romanian Cultural Institute in New York Transylvanian born, NYC based pianist LUCIAN BAN and American violist and Grammy nominee MAT MANERI will be touring Fall 2017 the US south & southwest presenting material from their award winning 2013 ECM release “Transylvanian Concert” and premiering new music for a follow up album: Sun Ra & Paul Motian re-imagined pieces, Transylvanian doinas, re-constructed Enesco and Bartok pieces, original compositions, microtonal songs and more. Workshop : “The music of George Enescu and the traditional music of Romania in contemporary jazz and improvisation” When Romanian-born pianist Lucian Ban and Grammy-nominated violinist Mat Maneri joined up for a concert in an opera house in Targu Mures in the middle of Romania’s Transylvania region, the music was, as Jazz Times puts it, “as close as it gets to Goth jazz.” Released in 2013 by ECM Records, the Transylvanian Concert album features a program of self-penned ballads, blues, hymns and abstract improvisations, the whole informed by the twin traditions of jazz and European chamber music, and album has won critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic, including several Best Album of 2013 awards, and has spawned continuous touring. The Guardian (UK) noted Transylvanian Concert’s “own kind of melancholy beauty and wayward exuberance”, The New York Times called it “a lovely and restive new album”, All About Jazz hailed its “moments of unanticipated beauty”, L.A. Weeklytalks about a performance that is “mesmerizing, evocative and sensually explicit” and The Village Voice calls it “is one of those records that whisk you away”. JAZZ WEEKLY talks about “A modern collection of sonatas that erase the lines between jazz and classical, a melding of sounds similar to a modern liturgy”.

kh1958 Posted February 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 I think I will try to attend this, as I have only seen Jimmy Heath live one time long ago (circa 1983 or 1984) with the Heath Brothers. Presumably the program will be Jimmy Heath compositions? A ticket is only $10 if you are willing to accept status as a "senior citizen"--which is absurdly defined as beginning at 55.
