NYC: PAT MARTINO ORGAN TRIO AT BIRDLAND
The Pat Martino Organ Trio with Pat Bianchi (organ) Carmen Intorre Jr. (drums) will perform at BIRDLAND (315 West 44th Street, NYC - 212-581-3080) on Tuesday through Saturday, April 15th through 19th with shows at 8:30 & 11:00 pm. One of the greatest guitarists in jazz, Martino got his start on the "chitlin' circuit" in the 1960s with organ groups led by Richard "Groove" Holmes, Jack McDuff, Don Patterson, Trudy Pitts and Charles Earland. Having made a full and remarkable recovery from a life-threatening illness in the 1980's that caused him to forget how to play the guitar, Martino relearned by listening to his own early recordings and has re-emerged as a veteran presence on the jazz scene. Today Martino lives in his native Philadelphia and his playing is as fiery and technically brilliant as ever. There is a $40 cover plus a $10 food/drink minimum.
NYC: PLAYING FOR JIM HALL AT THE BLUE NOTE
"Playing For Jim Hall", An Official Memorial Tribute Celebrating The Life & Music Of Jim Hall will be held atTHE BLUE NOTE (131 West 3rd Street, NYC - 212-475-8592) on Friday through Sunday, April 18th through 20th with shows at 8:00 & 10:30 pm. Mr. Hall passed away in December 2013, and in keeping with Jim's quiet and unassuming nature, his sendoff was attended only by the immediate family. The multitude of condolences and shared stories attest to the fact that Jim was not only an inspiring musician but also a man with a huge heart. Sadly, his heart has stopped beating but his music endures and the treasured memories live on in all of us. Playing For Jim Hall will feature Bill Frisell, guitar; Julian Lage, guitar; Greg Osby, sax; Kate Schutt, guitar & vocals; Scott Colley, bass; and Joey Baron, drums. Not only was Jim Hall one of the jazz world's favorite guitarists, but he also earned critical acclaim for his skills as a composer and arranger. The first formal recognition came in 1997 when Jim won the New York Jazz Critics Circle Award for Best Jazz Composer/Arranger. In 2004, he joined the Baltimore Symphony to debuted his concerto for guitar and orchestra, commissioned by Towson University in Maryland for The First World Guitar Congress. The title of the work, "Peace Movement," is indicative of Jim's desire to contribute to world peace through his music. In January of 2006, the French Minister of Culture and Communication knighted him. There is a $20-$35 cover.
