| Time: 7:00pm. Age restrictions: All Ages. Address: 11 West 53rd St. Between 1958 and 1960, Robert Rauschenberg made drawings for each of the 34 cantos, or sections, of Dante’s 14th-century poem Inferno by using a novel technique to transfer photographic reproductions from magazines and newspapers onto paper. Acquired by The Museum of Modern Art soon after it was completed, the resulting work is now an icon in the collection and an enduring testament to Rauschenberg’s desire to bring his experience of the contemporary world into his art. On the occasion of the exhibition Robert Rauschenberg: Among Friends, MoMA published Robert Rauschenberg: Thirty-Four Illustrations for Dante’s Inferno, featuring newly commissioned works by acclaimed poets Kevin Young and Robin Coste Lewis that respond to Rauschenberg’s celebrated series and offer a personal vision of hell. On September 12, Young and Coste Lewis will read a selection of these works in an evening of poetry and music curated by WQXR’s Terrance McKnight and performed by a host of extraordinary invited guests. An exploration of Rauschenberg’s conversation with Dante across the centuries, this special evening celebrates creativity in dialogue among friends. Live music will be provided by Carman Moore’s world renowned Sky Music Ensemble. I am honored and excited to be performing with this group. Among the players will be my old friends saxophonist Premik Russel Tubbs and violinist Zach Brock. Get you tickets early! More info | |||

Neil Alexander and his group NAIL plan an evening of original music and jazz masterpieces within his Newburgh neighborhood, exploring deep grooves and majestic soundscapes, and infusing it all with a spiritually themed positive message. NAIL features outstanding musicians Todd Isler (drums & percussion), Brian Mooney (bass) and Premik Russel Tubbs (saxophones), along with special guests (TBA).

Jim Decrescenzo: A celebration of his Life & Work, with a concert of his music never before perfumed in public. Please join us for a very special night celebrating the Life & Work of a dear old friend – Jimmy Decrescenzo, “Deke”, who passed away on September 5th of this year. Deke was a member of my first original band (which eventually went on to become “A. Animal”). A bassist & composer, we often joked how he had the real talent. At age 20 he was writing amazingly complex pieces. But he chose to give up music and sadly none of his compositions have ever been performed. On Wednesday November 19th, Family and friends will gather at Harmony Music Woodstock NY to reminisce, swap stories and celebrate the man and his work. Deke was an excellent woodworker; some of his works will be on display as well as video of him in his shop, and I have assembled a stellar band to finally perform Jim’s music. The band includes bassist Brian Mooney, Drummer Jason Furman, and guitarist Chad McLoughlin, along with horn man Peter Buettner, guitarist Ted Orr & bassist Steve Rust. In addition, the wonderful Joey Eppard will perform solo and with his group. There is no cover. I hope you can join us. 🙂 - Related post - | |||

Riedel Dance Theater presents their compelling and original take on Igor Stravinsky’s “The Rite of Spring” just in time for the 100th anniversary of this infamous ballet’s premiere. Choreographer Jonathan Riedel adheres to the traditional themes of the work – loss of innocence, natural order, and tumultuous rebirth – while depicting the story of a family ripped apart by a violent act and the desperate means by which they find peace. It’s a timeless tale told through Riedel’s seamless blend of contemporary dance and theatrical storytelling. The music is performed with a new orchestration by pianist, Neil Alexander. “Vashti,” a collaboration between composer David Homan and choreographer Ariel Grossman/Ariel Rivka Dance interprets the Biblical story of Purim through the lens of feminism and women’s empowerment. Set in Persia, before the rise of Queen Esther who helped save the Jews from the wrath of Haman, Vashti reigned as Queen of Shushan. Who was she? How did she come to have such power? Was it only because of her beauty? A myriad of interpretations exist–Vashti as a complex, strong and brave woman, or a vain, wicked and disobedient wife. Requested to dance naked for the King and his drunk friends, Vashti must make a choice; to lose everything, possibly her life or to shed her dignity. Exploring her origins and the women surrounding her, “Vashti” shows us all how to best preserve our sense of self when presented with the ultimate choice. With modern choreography that springs from a strong balletic core this work involves five dancers and live music featuring violin, cello, guitar and piano. More info | |||
