| Michael Rabinowitz Jazz Quartet Appearing @ Maureen’s Jazz Cellar Friday, July 13th Sets 8pm & 9:30pm Whether blowing bebop over a Mingus tune or freely improvising with Anthony Braxton, Michael Rabinowitz's contributions have changed the conception of what the bassoon can do. Since graduating with a BFA in music performance from SUNY at Purchase in the late seventies Michael's improvisatory skills opened the door for the bassoon to enter a variety of musical environments not traditionally associated with the instrument. "Listening to a bassoon sing jazz is a distinctive pleasure. After hearing Bennie Maupin and Yusef Lateef tackle this instrument, I have a certain appreciation and expectation of the bassoon's power and persuasion. Michael Rabinowitz appreciates and exploits the acoustic characteristics of the bassoon and this makes his "Uncharted Waters" CD a joy to my ears." - jazz journalist/Dee Dee McNeil Michael Rabinowitz Jazz Quartet featuring Matt King on Piano Friday, July 13th Sets 8pm & 9:30pm Maureen's Jazz Cellar 2 N.
