AllenLowe Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) from the NY Times: ALLEN LOWE at Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola (Feb. 20, 7:30 and 9:30 p.m.). Mr. Lowe doubles as an alto saxophonist and a kind of alternative cultural anthropologist. His histories of American popular music (“That Devilin’ Tune: A Jazz History 1900-1950” and “God Didn’t Like It: Electric Hillbillies, Singing Preachers and the Beginning of Rock and Roll, 1950-1970,” among others) reflect a fathomless musical knowledge and an iconoclastic streak. Those elements define his music too: a loose meld of American folklore, halcyon pop and free jazz. For this concert, Mr. Lowe has convened a 13-piece band to honor the heavy influence of John Coltrane’s 1960s work. He’s doing it in decidedly unconventional fashion, reaching back to the polyphonic sound of early-20th-century New Orleans. 212-258-9595, jazz.org/dizzys Edited February 16, 2018 by AllenLowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost of miles Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 It sounds great, Allen, and congratulations on the NY Times notice. I was at JALC for the Jazz Congress last month and will be back in NYC in late April, wish I could catch your performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllenLowe Posted February 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Just to let everybody know, we will be streaming live on Tuesday night February 20 from Dizzys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Now hold on just a sec. Dizzy's is the Upper West side of Manhattan? My father had an apartment/office at 57th and 6th. My sister lives on West 89th street. If Dad worked in mid-town and my sister is unquestionably on the upper west side how the heck is Dizzy's the latter and not the former? In all seriousness break a leg tomorrow. In the figurative, show-business sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
