| David Chesky: Jazz In The New Harmonic appearing @ Dizzy's Club Coca Cola Wed., Oct. 1 7:30 & 9:30pm David Chesky's Jazz in the New Harmonic puts the pianist and composer's own personal twist on bridging the disparate worlds of jazz and classical.Chesky and his band of all-star jazz musicians fuse 21st century classical harmonies with the city's rhythms to create a new genre of jazz. Jazz in the New Harmonic liberates the pulse, soul, energy, and groove from past traditions; it's the first encounter with the transcendental music of our age. Chesky is a first-class provocateur, and his 21st century classical harmonic approach is kicked into high gear with this streamlined New York groove machine. THE CRITICS ARE RAVING EDITORS' PICK! David Chesky has said that for his new quintet album, he wanted to take his "harmonic language" (influenced by the classical composers Ives, Webern and Messiaen) and merge it with a strong sense of groove. The pianist/composer certainly achieved that goal with Jazz in the New Harmonic, thanks to his stellar band. Bobby Reed, Downbeat Magazine PICK OF THE MONTH Complex harmonies emanate from the piano as Javon Jackson and the trumpet dance with wild abandon, over the chords and grooves. Jazz life Magazine, Japan RECORDING OF THE MONTH If there is a feeling or vibe present throughout Jazz in the New harmonic it is trance. Its not Ellington but it evolves from that place. If you drew a line of jazz, how it evolves, its 2013 and lets add to this line.
