Lazaro Vega Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) August 26, 2016 The Adventure Music Series returns to the LaFontsee Galleries on Sunday, October 23rd at 3 p.m. with “Celestial Weather,” the duo of Wadada Leo Smith and John Lindberg, trumpet and double bass. Says Bill Meyer of visionary composer and trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith, he “uses his magisterial instrumental voice, his inspirational leadership and his command of classical, jazz, and blues forms to remind us of what has gone down and what’s still happening.” For 38 years, bassist John Lindberg has performed with Smith, in Smith’s Pulitzer Prize nominated “Ten Freedom Summers” suite, with his Golden Quartet, and in duet, producing a deep knowledge and understanding of each other’s artistic voices, sharing a dedication to creating vital musical structures and systems that provide compelling starting points for spontaneous development and improvisational journeys. Together they released “Celestial Weather” on TUM Records in 2015, an album of vigor and daring, imagining, with inventive scores and stunning improvisations, the weather of the cosmos. The album also celebrates the great bassist from the Art Ensemble of Chicago with a suite called “Malachi Favors Maghostut – A Monarch of Creative Music,” and includes John Lindberg’s two part composition “Feathers and Earth.” The “Underground Series” presents a season of 4 concerts, one in October, February, March and April, on Sunday afternoons at 3. Dedicated to the exploration of unique live music, this concert series thrives with you. Tickets are $20 in advance, $10 for students with a student I.D. and $25 at the door. Advance tickets available only from www.adventuremusic.org. The phone number at the LaFontsee Galleries is (616) 451 – 9820. The LaFontsee Galleries are wheel chair accessible. To find LaFontsee Galleries please see, www.lafontsee.us/. John Lindberg & Wadada Leo Smith: Celestial Weather Midwest Duets is supported by New Music USA, through a generous contribution from Joseph A. and Nancy Meli Walker.
