| David Chesky Jazz in the New Harmonic live at Jazz at Lincoln Center With Jazz in the New Harmonic, David 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. The album, Primal Scream, which features the same band set to appear at Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola, received tremendous reviews for its provocative and cerebral approach to the classical/jazz blend. Chesky's patient, angular harmonies are elevated by a solid groove in the group's foundation, relying on heavy bass vamps from Peter Washington and a steady pulse from drummer Billy Drummond. If you're looking for something new and refreshing, or a jazz set with cross-genre appeal, join us for this one-night-only performance. Experience Jazz live like you've never heard before with tenor saxophonist Javon Jackson, trumpeter Tim Hagans, drummer Billy Drummond, bassist Peter Washington, and pianist/composer David Chesky. THURSDAY OCTOBER 15TH, 7:30 & 9:30 PM Hear what the critics say about Primal Scream Downbeat Magazine "This is a cool, calm and collected set, dry as a martini and nearly as subtle." - John McDonough JazzTimes "Despite the harmonic adventurousness on display and the meandering langour of the melody lines, that steady-strolling groove and the overall lack of pretension and unnecessary flamboyance keep things centered, resulting in music that suggests an almost zen-like contemplation on the dialectic between control and freedom." - David Whiteis NYC Jazz Record "Even if you couldn't tell a trumpet from a tuba by looking, Primal Scream will get your foot tapping and your head nodding. It's beautiful." - Philip Freeman write your comments about the article :: © 2015 Jazz News :: home page |
