Lost Jazz Shrines
Friday, May 31, 2013
Bird...A World's Eye View: Part Three with Marty Ehrlich
Additional Notes:
The Lost Jazz Shrines series is dedicated to bringing legendary NYC jazz clubs back into the consciousness of the world with a thorough remembrance and celebration. In celebration of the resonant history of Birdland, we will examine the musical and stylistic legacy of Charlie Parker through three completely different lenses and cultural perspectives. This will be achieved through the efforts of three exceptional alto saxophonists (TK BLUE, MARTY EHRLICH & RUDRESH MAHANTHAPPA) who have expanded the lessons of Bird. Each saxophonist will bring elements of his diverse backgrounds to our stage for fresh interpretations of the oeuvre of Bird. Each saxophonist will include their own combo.
Scheduled to perform: James Zollar - trumpet, Marc Ribot - guitar,
Michael Formanek - bass, and Nasheet Waits - drums.
Each concert will be preceded by a FREE Humanities program at 7PM with live panel discussions or film that showcase some of the celebrated figures associated with this year’s honorees.

New Chamber Ballet - Season Finale
Friday, May 31, 2013 through Saturday, June 01, 2013
New ballets to live music in an informal setting.
Additional Notes:
New Chamber Ballet closes its 2012/13 season with a program of four ballets with live music on violin and piano:
A new work bringing together a singer, a dancer and two instrumentalists, set to Morton Feldman's Voice, Violin and Piano,
In the Parlour, a trio (set to a violin sonata by Mozart) in which "motifs of secrecy, evasion and sheer nosiness weave into the dance which evolves with some technically demanding solo passages." (Philip Gardner, Oberon's Grove)
The Other Woman, a minimalist portrayal of a menage-a-trois, set to the innocent three-part counterpoint of Bach's violin sonata in B Minor.
The revival of In a Simple Black Dress, which inventively mixes on- and off-pointe dancing in a solo inspired by Pierre Boulez' virtuoso violin study Anthèmes.
Performers include Sarah Atkins, Elizabeth Brown, Holly Curran, Amber Neff, and Charlotte Mundy. The music will be played live by Doori Na (violin) and Melody Fader (piano).
"It's heartening to see work so focused on the meeting of dance and music." -Alastair Macaulay, The New York Times
