Alpert Artist

CalArts Creative Music Festival

Featuring the Art Ensemble of Chicago—Great Black Music— "Ancient to the Future"

Revered for unbounded musical daring, radical innovation, and a sustained exploration of black music forms, the fabled Art Ensemble of Chicago makes its first Los Angeles projection since 1990 in this year's edition of the Creative Music Festival. The festival opens with performances by Alpert Award-winning violinist Mark Feldman with pianist Sylvie Courvoisier, and Dwight Trible's Sacred Urban Echoes featuring vocalist and poet Kamau Daaood. Jubilant music and poetry that spans spiritual expression, jazz and the avant-garde.

Thanks Adam. Got the AEC penciled in!

up - this coming weekend. I'm going Saturday, but I realized I also have tickets to the Monterey Jazz Festival tour at UCLA on Friday night the 18th. Just due to money, I'll probably end up there. That has Terence Blanchard, James Moody, and others.

I think I might be more interested in Feldman & Couvoisier on Friday though. I'm sure they will play some Zorn compositions.
