| Lynne Arriale Launches Tour in Celebration of Convergence Pianist Lynne Arriale is hitting the road in celebration of Convergence, an eloquent new work exploring previously uncharted musical waters, featuring a band of some of NYC's most in-demand players, Bill McHenry on tenor sax, Omer Avital on bass & oud, and Anthony Pinciotti on drums. Arriale is still experiencing the momentum of her previous release, a flurry of magazine covers, features and critical accolades heralding her skills as an, "ingenious arranger, composer, soloist and performer" -DownBeat. With Convergence Arriale strikes again with a display of prowess, agility and finesse. "brainy and beautiful." - ICON "Her own originals are fascinating, but then so too is her taste in rock classics to play (and how to play them) . . ." - The Buffalo News "The pop/rock songs on Convergence seamlessly merge into the jazz in the deft hands of Arriale." - The Winnipeg Free Press "A superb project . . . There is a refreshed sense of purpose on this CD that blends well with Arriale's consistent excellence." - Ken Franckling's Jazz Notes "I can't really compare her to anyone. Her music transcends the word 'jazz' - it is just pure music. It's all about nuance with Lynne." - Randy Brecker Lynne Arriale - Convergence Tour: February 17 - Workshop @ New World School of The Arts, Miami, FL (in conjunction with the Monk Institute), 1:30-5:30 PM, http://nwsa.mdc.edu February 18 - Masterclass @ Florida Memorial University, Miami Gardens, FL, The Melton Mustafa Jazz Festival, 1:00 PM, www.meltonmustafa.com/JazzFestival February 19 - Performance @ Florida Memorial University, Miami Gardens, FL The Melton Mustafa Jazz Festival, 7:00 PM, www.meltonmustafa.com/JazzFestival March 16 - Jazz Standard, NYC (w/Joel Frahm, Omer Avital, & Anthony Pinciotti), 7:30 & 9:30 PM, www.jazzstandard.net March 19-20 - Dazzle, Denver, CO (w/Omer Avital & Anthony Pinciotti) 7:00 & 9:00 PM, www.dazzlejazz.com March 22-23 - Jazz Alley, Seattle, WA (w/Avital & Pinciotti), one set at 7:30 PM, www.jazzalley.com March 25 - Yardbird Suite, Edmonton, Canada (w/Avital & Pinciotti) 9:00 & 10:30 PM, www.yardbirdsuite.com April 6-7 - "We Always Swing, " Columbia, MO April 6 - Masterclass at The University of Missouri April 7 - Performance (w/Randy Brecker, Avital, & Pinciotti) www.wealwaysswing.org/season/2010-2011 April 8 - The Jazz Kitchen, Indianapolis, IN (w/Avital & Pinciotti), write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Jazz News :: home page |
