| Leif Arntzen This Week at the Cornelia Street Cafe On July 25th Canadian trumpeter/singer Leif Arntzen will return to the Cornelia Street Cafe (New York) for an evening of jazz classics associated with Chet Baker and Miles Davis. Mr Arntzen migrated from Vancouver to the New York music scene in the mid-80’s, and found his musical home in the experimental jazz of Gil Evans, and in the birth of the Ludlow Street Cafe/Cafe Sine singer songwriter community of the Lower East Side that also spawned his contemporaries Chris Whitley and the late Jeff Buckley. He was a regular in the Harold Dessau Recording studio scene throughout it’s heyday, working mainly on original recording projects with producer/engineer/collaborator Scott Harding, and guesting on various other Dessau artists’ records. Over the years Mr Arntzen has issued a steady stream of recordings on Gwendoline Records, an online record store he co-founded. His recorded tribute to Chet Baker “Channeling Chet” was released June 2005 on Ward Records. Arntzen will play with Jon Dryden, piano; Will Woodard, bass; Vito Lesczak, drums write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Jazz News :: home page |
