Hooker/Braufman/Lewis June 26 @ Tubby's Kingston

[clifford_thornton]

In conjunction with Valley of Search, who are issuing a 1977 archival LP featuring the trio of drummer William Hooker and saxophonists Alan Braufman and David S. Ware (1949-2012),Tubby's is hosting a revival concert celebrating this music with Hooker, Braufman, and tenor saxophonist James Brandon Lewis. It's a bit of a "pinch oneself" moment, and this concert promises to be a throughline of vitality between the loft era's churn and our contemporary landscape. 

 

The details:

 

Tubby's Kingston, 26 June 2025

Doors 7 music at 8 (one set, and I'll probably DJ before/after)

$20 presale here

 

The LP is out now, so if you can't make the gig, please listen and purchase the record in whatever form you wish. It's a monumental piece of music!

 

 

you may also see these d.norsen designs around Kingston, which we adapted from William's first LP as a leader.

 

 

A great interview and overview of William and his work (published in 2018) can be read here.

 

Alan and his music can be read about/listened to via this link.

 

James Brandon Lewis -- who has played Tubby's a few times, including with The Messthetics -- has music and words here.

 

Really looking forward to this one, and we hope to see you there!

Big "loft jazz" enthusiast, so looking forward to this one! And on Thursday to boot (better than Sunday). I was there last Thursday and it's nice to have the kitchen open.

The .png and design .jpg aren't displaying, btw.
