| Musette Explosion at Cornelia Street Cafe Musette Explosion Featuring Will Holshouser (accordion), Matt Munisteri (guitar & banjo), Marcus Rojas (tuba) - Thursday, June 6th at Cornelia Street Cafe (29 Cornelia St, NYC btw Bleecker & West 4th St). Three New York musicians explore the luminous landscape of French musettes ("swing-waltzes"), augmenting these fleet, lush, romantic melodies with improvisations and their own musette-inspired originals. Music by Gus Viseur, Baro Ferret, Tony Murena, Jo Privat, and your hosts. "… richly melodic, intensely emotional music, requiring not only great chops but also an intense emotional sensibility to play it as it was meant to be done. The trio onstage tonight alternated between two types of musette: bouncy, upbeat dance numbers and wrenchingly beautiful laments in waltz time…There should have been a line around the block for this one, it was that spectacular." - Lucid Culture blog Musette Explosion's members are most often heard playing with Regina Carter, Catherine Russell, Dave Douglas, Steven Bernstein, Mark O'Connor and many others. As a group, they've backed up Loudon Wainwright III in the studio and are working on their own full-length CD. write your comments about the article :: © 2013 Jazz News :: home page |
