TONIGHT IN NYC: ELECTRIC MILES AT THE IRIDIUM
Electric Miles featuring Randy Brecker, Jeremy Pelt, Paul Bollenback, Lonnie Plaxico and Steve Smith will appear atIRIDIUM JAZZ CLUB (1650 Broadway, NYC - 212-582-2121) on Thursday through Saturday, May 23rd through 25th with shows at 8:00 & 10:00 pm. Randy Brecker has been shaping the sound of Jazz, R&B and Rock for more than four decades. His trumpet and flugelhorn performances have graced hundreds of albums by a wide range of artists. Jeremy Pelt has become one of the preeminent young trumpeters within the world of jazz. Forging a bond with the Mingus Big Band very early on, as his career progressed, Pelt built upon these relationships and many others which eventually lead to collaborations with some of the genre's greatest masters. Bollenback got his earliest musical nudge from his father, a classically trained trumpeter who first provided the 7-year-old son with a nylon-string guitar - and then provided a new world of inspiration. Lonnie Plaxico, the middle child in a family of musicians, inherited a gift for music that was discovered and nurtured early. By the age of twelve he had taught himself to play the electric bass, and he was soon venturing into Chicago's music scene, renowned for its mix of jazz, funk and blues. Steve Smith's drumming, while always decidedly modern, can best be described as a style that embodies the history of U.S. music. His musical focus is committed to the exploration of improvised music incorporating styles as diverse as Blues, Jazz, R&B, Funk, Cajun and South Indian Carnatic. There is a $35 cover plus a $15 food/drink minimum.
