| Jazz At Atlas Announces The Final Two Concerts Of Its 2019 Season Jazz At Atlas Announces The Final Two Concerts Of Its 2019 Season Karen Borca Quartet — Saturday, October 5, 8 PM "Ms. Borca is one of jazz's very few bassoonists, and her solo style owes a lot to the modern tenor-saxophone tradition. But the tone of the bassoon makes Ms. Borca's cascading arpeggios and clear high notes sound more plaintive and quizzical than they would on a saxophone." — Jon Pareles, New York Times We are honored to present the innovative, criminally under-recognized bassoonist Karen Borca. With decades of experience in the ensembles of such major artists as Cecil Taylor, Jimmy Lyons, William Parker among many others, Ms. Borca leads a thrilling quartet of veteran creative musicians, including Warren Smith on vibes, Hilliard Greene on bass and Jackson Krall on drums. James Emery Trio — Saturday, November 2, 8 PM "Three decades of picking obliques with Leroy Jenkins, Anthony Braxton and bending Monk-bebop-blues notes with the String Trio of New York have evolved guitarist James Emery into a formidable improviser/composer/arranger with a particularly unique chordal-melodic-harmonic six-string flow. James Emery is special." — Tom Terrell, Jazz Times The noted modern jazz guitarist Emery closes out J@A's 2019 season with an accomplished chamber jazz trio featuring Rob DeBellis on alto saxophone, clarinet and flute and Kim Cass on bass. Both concerts will be held in the gallery at Atlas Studios, located at 11 Spring St. in Newburgh, NY. Jazz at Atlas is a cooperative project of musician, writer and multimedia artist James Keepnews, and music researcher, radio host and Triple Point Records owner/producer Ben Young. Along with presenting performances by world-renowned creative musicians, J@A will also be offering listening sessions, dialogues with artists and classes covering the entire spectrum of creative music in all its varied manifestations around the world and throughout its history. write your comments about the article :: © 2019 Jazz News :: home page |
