OPENS TONIGHT IN NYC: STEVE WILSON AT THE VILLAGE VANGUARD
Acclaimed jazz saxophonist Steve Wilson will return THE VILLAGE VANGUARD (178 Seventh Avenue South, NYC - 212-255-4037) on Tuesday through Sunday, May 20th through 25th with shows at 8:30 & 10:30 pm. On the final two days of the visit (May 24th and 25th,) he will record a long-awaited live album, featuring his core band• 'Wilsonian's Grain' with Orrin Evans, Ugonna Okegwo and Bill Stewart. The uniqueness of Wilsonian's Grain is in the repertoire of Wilson originals, tunes from each member of the band, and the off-the-beaten-path tunes they play. Their interpretations of this repertoire, from this wonderfully disparate mixture of influences that each musician brings to the stage, are performed with absolute abandon and great sense of adventure. Steve plans to play and record material he's writing for the occasion, as well as "Well You Needn't (Monk), the tone poem "Santa Catarina" (Pascoal Hermeto), "Patterns" (Joe Chambers) and "If I Were a Wind of Spring," by the young composer Migiwa Miyajima. There is a $25-$30 cover plus a 1-drink minimum.
