Michael Weiss Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 well, strange coincidence du jour - on another thread here, about professionalism in musicians, I JUST posted about a semi-well known pianist who stood me up for a Sweet Basil gig in NYC about 17-18 years ago. Well, Philly residents, said pianist is playing TONIGHT at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. If you attend, please tell him that I am still waiting for a call - 17-18 years? Get over it!

AllenLowe Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 (edited) I'm fine, thanks. Just shows the eternal circle of life: sweet basil-maine-Philadelphia Museum of Art-Ron S. kinda cosmic, in that Sun Ra/Philly way - Edited November 6, 2009 by AllenLowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron S Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Don't forget the SEPTA strike and World Series loss--MAJORLY cosmic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 this sounds like the apocalypse to me - I mean, all the signs are there - strikes, unemployment, wars - and now a pianist who once stood me up. Look out the window, Ron - is the sun starting to do weird things? Are livestock running through your back yard? Is Pete Johnson trying to break into your basement?

Peter Johnson Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Tomorrow night: Hamiet Bluiett + Kahil El'Zabar Philadelphia Art Alliance 251 S. 18th Street Philadelphia, PA Price: $12 General Admission Tickets Hamiet Bluiett, baritone saxophone Kahil El'Zabar, percussion The most prominent baritone saxophonist of his generation, Hamiet Bluiett (b. 1940) combines a blunt, modestly inflected attack with a fleet, aggressive technique, and a uniform hugeness of sound that extends from his horn's lowest reaches to far beyond what is usually its highest register. In St. Louis in the 1960s, Bluiett co-founded the Black Artists' Group (BAG), an artist collective not unlike Chicago's AACM. And, in 1969, he moved to New York City to join the Charles Mingus Quintet and the Sam Rivers Large Ensemble. In 1976 he co-founded the World Saxophone Quartet (along with two other Black Artists' Group members, Julius Hemphill and Oliver Lake), which soon became jazz music's most renowned saxophone quartet. Over the years, Bluiett has also worked with Babatunde Olatunji, Abdullah Ibrahim, Stevie Wonder, and Marvin Gaye. Kahil El'Zabar (b.1953) is one of Chicago's jazz treasures. He joined the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) in the early 1970s, and became its chairman in 1975. He regularly records for Chicago's Delmark Records and, during the 1970s, he formed the acclaimed ensembles Ritual Trio and the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble, both of which remain active today. El'Zabar has performed alongside a myriad of jazz greats such as Cannonball Adderley, Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp and Dizzy Gillespie, but also in the bands of Stevie Wonder and Nina Simone.

Peter Johnson Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 It was posted earlier, I think, but just in case: Art Ensemble of Chicago in Philly THIS SATURDAY!!! Who's going? Saturday, March 6, 8pm ART ENSEMBLE OF CHICAGO with Roscoe Mitchell, reeds; Hugh Ragin, trumpet; William Parker, double-bass; and Famoudou Don Moye, drums + percussion International House Philadelphia, 3701 Chestnut Street $20 General Admission Founded in 1969, the Art Ensemble of Chicago is the flagship ensemble of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) and one of the most influential collectives in jazz history. Originally comprised of saxophonists Roscoe Mitchell and Joseph Jarman, trumpeter Lester Bowie, bassist Malachi Favors, and later, drummer Famoudou Don Moye, the Art Ensemble of Chicago are pioneers of multi-instrumentalism and, for over 40 years, have given unforgettable performances in which music, ritual and Dadaist theatre are interwoven. Their performances combine elements of jazz's history and pre-history - music from the sanctified church services, minstrel shows and bawdy houses of late 19th and early 20th century America - with a modernist spirit of experimentation. Join us for this rare visit from one of America's greatest artistic treasures. Advance tickets available at Ars NovaHey--hope we'll see you at the Bob Mould show! Just picked up tickets today for 3 shows at the World Cafe Live - The Residents (2/8), Bob Mould (3/3), and King Sunny Ade (4/8)!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
