now of course I never complain, but am still waiting for one Organissimo member to show up at a gig - and I know you guys get to NY for things like Visions, etc, even when you can't hear the music from more than 3 feet away and it sounds like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir singing under water - so - my last NYC thing for a while is an extravaganza created just for you: October 18 at IBEAM in Brooklyn, where the acoustics are good; an all day thing, probably 4-10, sort of an Allen Lowe festival - a recording session/concert - though subject to change, here is the current lineup: Ursula Oppens solo piano Ursula Oppens duo and trio with Allen Lowe and Ken Peplowski women's project quartet with: Allen Lowe, Shayna Dulberger, Miki Matsuki, Ava Mendoza women's project piano solo by Kelly Green quintet with: Allen Lowe, Kirk Knuffke, Kevin Ray, Lewis Porter, Jeremy Carlstedt Nonet with: Allen Lowe, Bobby Zankel, Paul Austerlitz, Hayes Greenfield, Lou Grassi, Randy Sandke, Kevin Ray, Christopher Meeder, Lewis Porter hope to see some of you there; more details to come; admission will be very reasonable.
