present." -Mark F. Turner, All About Jazz

New Music/New Jazz - An Evening With Elliott Sharp and
Anthony Coleman
Two unique and visionary composer/performers present an
evening of
solos and duos encompassing their own works and the music
of
Thelonious Monk, Jelly Roll Morton, and more.
Elliott Sharp is known for the wide range of his work,
always true to
his own sonic vision and performing throughout the world: from
blues
with his band Terraplane and the legendary Hubert Sumlin,
extreme
rock with Carbon, chamber works with the Arditti Quartet,
orchestral
scores with the Ensmeble Modern, and improvisation with the
likes of
Jack DeJohnette, Bill Laswell, Arthur Blythe, Christian Marclay,
and
DJ Soulslinger. Sharp recently released a CD of solo acoustic
guitar, "The Velocity Of Hue" to great critical acclaim and has just
recorded a CD of Thelonious Monk compositions also on
acoustic
guitar. He will present works from both of these on this evening.
Anthony Coleman is a composer-keyboardist who has
performed and
recorded throughout the world, both with his own projects and
with
numerous other ensembles including the piano trio Sephardic
Tinge,
which has released 3 discs: Sephardic Tinge, Morenica, and Our
Beautiful Garden Is Open and has performed at the Sarajevo
Jazz
Festival, North Sea Jazz Festival, Saalfelden Festival, and the
Krakow and Vienna Jewish Culture Festivals. He has also
performed
extensively with ensembles of Marc Ribot, John Zorn, Glenn
Branca.
He has recently presented a concert of Jelly Roll Morton's
compositions and will draw from those works ffor this evening.
Elliott Sharp reviews:
"If much of his previous work has found beauty in extremes of
intensity, he reverses course here, creating a cumulative
intensity
from extremes of beauty."
Steve Smith - TIME OUT NYC
While Sharp's knowledge of global musics must inform his
playing, the
overall effect is of an intrinsically American, intrinsically blues,
and specifically guitar derived, music. The playing is elegiac,
lyrical and passionate, and uses several extended techniques of
finger-tapping, harmonics and fretboard noise as well as a
subtle
sinuous acoustic feedback to extend notes at will. Few other
players
have managed to liberate the language of steel blues so
completely
Most of all, though, the music has an extraordinary saturated
living
colour, as the title track (and its title) Velocity Of Hue so
succinctly suggest."
