1It's not just a locavore jazz week! E.g., tomorrow night I'll hear Cuban pianist Chucho Valdes & his group Irakere, a rare event worth taking in. Thanks, Duke Performances!
And, on Friday I'll hear guitarist Bill Frisell & trio at the Arts Center in Carrboro. Again, an event too rare to miss even with many choices that night (see below). Along with those are these recommendations: --NCCU Jazz Ensembles for free Tuesday at B.N. Duke Auditorium 7p. Fine student musicians! --The NCCU Trombone Summit--again for free--at B.N. Duke 7p, with guest trombonist Clifton Anderson. What else are you doing Thursday night? --You can actually add something to Bill Frisell Friday evening: UNC Jazz Program Combos in 1201 Kenan Music Building at 4p. Hear them, catch a bite to eat, & hear Frisell too! I'll do that... --Or, hear Doug Largent at the Fair Game Beverage Company in Pittsboro, or Mint Julep at G2B, or the UNC jazz faculty with saxist Walter Smith III at Sharp Nine. --On Saturday, in addition to usual venues, you can choose the Scott Sawyer Quartet at Sharp Nine 8p; the UNC jazz bands with Walter Smith III 8p in Kenan Music Building 1201; or singer Ti Harmon backed by the best of NCCU student players at Beyu 8 & 10p (where I'll be). Or, combine one of the first two with Ti's 10p... And, finally, the NCCU Jazz Studies Benefit Concert at the Carolina Theatre 6p, featuring Branford Marsalis & Joey Calderazzo. There are tickets left. After that it will be time to rest through Thanksgiving (& start making more jazz choices)... It's time for commitment to supporting the NCCU Jazz Studies Program! Go to:
http://www.carolinatheatre.org/events/branford-marsalis-0 & buy tickets for the concert--which features the inimitable duo of Branford Marsalis & Joey Calderazzo along & with the NCCU Vocal Jazz & Instrumental Jazz Ensembles. It will be a unique evening! OK, you can't go because you're out of town that night or haven't got spare cash. You can still donate to: The North Carolina Central University Foundation-NCCU c/o Jazz Ensemble, PO Box 19363, Durham, NC 27707. Doing one of the above helps increase jazz scholarships & faculty recruiting resources. On 11/22 you will hear what the NCU Jazz Studies Program already produces. Keep The Vision Alive! |
