DC: GRAND SLAM AT THE BLUES ALLEY
GRAND SLAM (Jim Hall, Joe Lovano, George Mraz & Lewis Nash) will perform at BLUES ALLEY (1073 Wisconsin Avenue NW, Washington, DC - 202-337-4141) Thursday through Sunday, May 9th through 12th with shows at 8:00 & 10:00 pm. Stemming from the recording made live at the Regattabar in Cambridge, Massachusetts from January 2000. This diverse, creative group features songs written by Jim Hall and Joe Lovano that range from unaccompanied to orchestral. This group's debut reveals the edge and tenderness in their music and also describes various periods of the guitarist's career. Sonically Grand Slam recalls the early 60's Sonny Rollins band (The Bridge ) in which Hall also played, but this band plays more adventurous music and is more together as a unit. Hall has evolved, and Nash and Mraz are simply better, more sympathetic musicians than their predecessors.
