Chalupa Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 I can't believe the PMA isn't going to have a separate admission for that event. The museum will be MOBBED. I'm thinking I'll cut out of work early that day just to get a good seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllenLowe Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Bertrand - if I'd known you were going I would have taken the day off and headed up there - time for a reunion - but please, this time, leave the inflatables at home.

Peter Johnson Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Come on, Ron--you haven't been to anything lately! Plus, getting down to center city will give you a chance to extract Allen Lowe (or was it his wife? Or his wallet?) from my basement. Me too. I'll see you there!

Chalupa Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 So last night @ the Giuseppi Logan show Mark from Ars Nova Workshop announced that they had received their funding grant for a series featuring Roscoe Mitchell and Henry Threadgill for the Fall/Winter 2010/11 season. At least two shows featuring Roscoe and two shows for Henry. Possibly more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chalupa Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Art After 5 Presents: Wayne Shorter Quartet Saxophonist and composer Wayne Shorter is a living legend. His stellar work with Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, Miles Davis’ famously experimental mid-1960s quintet, and jazz-fusion pioneers Weather Report established Shorter as one of the most important American jazz musicians of his generation. On Friday, April 23, Shorter will premiere a new composition inspired by the Museum's collection. The Wayne Shorter Quartet in Conversation with Tom Moon Prior to the performance, Shorter and the members of his band—pianist Danilo Perez, bassist John Patitucci, drummer Brian Blade—will participate in a panel discussion moderated by music journalist Tom Moon. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear Shorter and his quartet discuss their influences and creative processes—and Shorter’s new composition. Friday, April 23, 2010 Discussion: 3:00-4:30pm http://www.pcah.us/music/events/wayne-shorter-quartet-and-tom-moon/ Concert: 5:45pm http://www.philamuseum.org/artafter5/ Wayne Shorter Quartet - Bio/photos/audio samples: http://imnworld.com/artists/detail/49/wayne-shorter This program, including the commissioning and presentation, is made possible by a grant from the Philadelphia Music Project, a program of the Philadelphia Center for Arts and Heritage, funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts and administered by The University of the Arts.

bertrand Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 I hope to get to the museum around noon from D.C. and kind of stake out a seat at some point. It looks like it may be chaotic. I plan to go to the discussion as well. Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllenLowe Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) I thought it was the mail fraud, murder, extortion, attempted murder, assault, and speeding convictions that usually get you off - that, and the strange hump on your back.
