NYC: STANLEY CLARKE & FRIENDS AT THE BLUE NOTE

Bassist Stanley Clarke will perform at THE BLUE NOTE(131 West 3rd Street, NYC - 212-475-8592) on Tuesday through Sunday, April 22nd through 27th with shows at 8:00 & 10:30 pm. He is joined on stage by Ruslan Sirota, piano and Lenny White, drums. Clarke was barely out of his teens when he exploded into the jazz world in 1971. Fresh out of the Philadelphia Academy of Music, he arrived in New York City and immediately landed jobs with famous bandleaders such as Horace Silver, Art Blakey, Dexter Gordon, Joe Henderson, Pharaoh Saunders, Gil Evans, Stan Getz and a budding young pianist-composer named Chick Corea. All of these musicians immediately recognized Clarke's ferocious dexterity and complete musicality on the acoustic bass. Not only was he an expert at crafting bass lines and functioning as a timekeeper - in keeping with his instrument's traditional role - but the young prodigy also possessed a sense of lyricism and melody distilled from his bass heroes Charles Mingus, Scott LaFaro and others, as well as non-bass players like John Coltrane. Clarke envisioned the bass as a viable, melodic solo instrument positioned at the front of the stage rather than in a background role, and he was uniquely qualified to take it there. There is a $30-$45 cover.

One of the best saxophonists around, Anderson is a renowned performer and bandleader, forming highly lauded bands with musicians of all generations. While rooted in bop, Anderson is known to mix in some soulful New Orleans jazz and a sweeping blues style evocative of Cannonball Adderley. Simply put, fans of jazz can't go wrong with "Warmdaddy."
