NYC: BLUE NOTE JAZZ FESTIVAL PRESENTS: JOE LOVANO'S VILLAGE RHYTHMS BAND
Joe Lovano's Village Rhythms Band will perform at THE BLUE NOTE (131 West 3rd Street, NYC - 212-475-8592) on Tuesday through Sunday, May 27th through June 1st with shows at 8:00 & 10:30 pm. The band features Joe Lovano, sax; Liberty Ellman, guitar; Matt Garrison, electric bass; Otis Brown, drums; Abdou Mboup, kora & percussion with Special Guests: Judi Silvano, vocals and Tim Hagans, trumpet. At Cleveland's infamous "Togo Suite," a then 28-year old Joe Lovano met and performed with a group of Nigerian musicians involved in an impromptu and joyous cultural exchange. About one year later on his 29th birthday in 1981, as a result of that initial late night club session, Lovano found himself in Lagos, Nigeria, meeting and spending time with the esteemed godfather of the afro-beat movement - Fela Kuti. The meeting of Kuti and his extended family of musicians led to a performance with the Cleveland and Nigerian musicians joined together in "Tafawa Balewa Square." The entire experience of performing with Kuti and his family left Lovano with a lasting feeling that still touches him to this day, and a new sense of possibilities within his own music - in all aspects of the sonic palette. Over three decades later, one of the most prominent voices in jazz, looks back to a historic musical landmark in his life and brings it into his own evolving musical vernacular. Joined by guitarist Liberty Ellman, electric bassist Matthew Garrison, percussionist/African harpist Abdou Mboup, and drummer Otis Brown III; "The Village Rhythm Band" showcases the linear relationship between West African music and jazz in a way that is totally unique to Lovano's voice - warm, sinuous, and constantly moving over an emphatic pulse. There is a $20-$35 cover.
