THE LOST AMERICAN JAZZBOOK is Now Available on iTunes There was a time when songs were sophisticated, sensual, witty and sublime. How swell it was...and is again! Listen to excerpts at The Lost American JazzBook. ALICE Arts is celebrating its 10-year anniversary with a very special musical event. Co-artistic director, Albert Greenberg has spent the last year and a half writing songs in the style of the great jazz standards.
Dan Zemelman is one of the most sought-after jazz pianists in the San Francisco Bay Area. As musical director for The Lost American JazzBook, Dan has truly made the music swing. Mads Tolling is a two-time Grammy winner with the Turtle Island String Quartet. Among his many other credits, he toured for eight years with acclaimed bassist Stanley Clarke. Argentine guitarist, Enrique Coria has a long and distinguished career in Latin music, including many recordings with the great Mercedes Sosa, and in this country with the David Grisman Band. His playing is nuanced and subtle, adding an extraordinary level of sophistication to the music. Bassist, Zachary Ostroff, was the only 2011 U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts for jazz. Enough said. Drummer, Bryan Bowman, has performed with a long list of distinguished jazz musicians from Eric Reed to Mary Stallings to Mark Levine. He brings a musicality to his playing that makes the Jazzbook "sing". Rose Armin-Hoiland is one of the hidden gems that makes the Bay Area such an incredible place for music. Her singing has transported the songs to a whole new level--both intoxicating and inviting. The Bellevue Club is a beautifully restored 1920's building on Lake Merritt. Enjoy a no-host bar, gorgeous views of the lake and...Free parking in the building! Support ALICE by clicking on the Donate button! |
