Joel Harrison: New Compositions for mixed use ensemble
Harrison will perform new compositions in set one, including previews of a large
scale piece for string quartet, woodwinds, and rhythm section, made possible by a NYSCA
grant. The emphasis will be on combining extensive notation with improvisational
passages in a multi-genre work that some parts Jazz, New Music, and Folk Song.
The second set will emphasize improvisation, and include extensive use of electronics.
Think of set one as daily life, and set two dreaming about daily life.
Members of this ensemble are involved or have performed with Henry Threadgill, Ethel
String quartet, Uri Caine, Chris Potter, Kenny Werner. Harrison is best known for his
groundbreaking work with Free Country, a group of which the Irish Times said, "This is
the music of the future."

The Witchcraft of Jazz
The Champs is the new project by Ximo Tebar. This eclectic guitarist from
Valencia is held by the specialized media as one of the best European jazz musicians. Each
and every of his concerts is a delight for jazz and fusion lovers alike. The spectacular
tandem Tebar-Bargad-Edwards produces truly elitist results by mixing sequences of pure
jazz with fusion related sounds that both jazz lovers and lay audiences will enjoy.
Ximo is a new trailblazer for jazz guitar and a major new voice for the classic organ trio.
He has a fresh approach to single-lines. His ideas are never boring and his powerhouse
technique is inspiring. His destiny is apparent from the moment you here him play. The
amazing thing is that Ximo was born and raised in Spain, which makes him a
phenomenon.
George Benson, January 2005
Liner-notes CD Goes Blue
"In a lifetime there will always be personalities that stands out from the rest of humanity
because of superior talent. Musically, Ximo Tebar is one of them. He has an uncanny,
pervasive, tasty, harmonic and melodic concept that never overdoes any one thing so
much as to make it boring and meaningless. If at this point you have not yet heard Ximo
Tebar give release to his amazing guitar artistry from the vortex of his expansive, creative
imagination into the medium of the air, it would be as self deprivation of the highest
degree. Listen to him! He’s astounding.”

ENTERTAINING SCIENCE -- EIN STEIN FÜR EINSTEIN
Roald Hoffmann
So, 100 years ago, Albert E. published some papers that shook the world of physics. It's the time and space to celebrate four dimensions of the man: In our own way. Humorist STEVE MIRSKY reports a deep conversation with Einstein's parrot; writer and journalist FRED JEROME will read some
excerpts form his book "The Einstein File," detailing J. Edgar's Hoover's
obsession with showing that Einstein was a dangerous
subversive, storyteller SHARON GLASSMAN updates Princeton's waltz toward
an Einstein memorial. And the photoelectric, nonrelativistic Deni Bonet
plays for Albert, on her blue electric violin.

BOB FELDMAN TRIO
Bob Feldman, saxophone & bamboo flute;
Chris Sullivan, bass;
Jay Rosen, drums
Born in New York City, Bob Feldman discovered jazz in the 60s through "Kind of Blue". It
was a time of great creativity and change for jazz, and New York was at the center.
Coleman Hawkins, Ellington, Mionk, Mingus, Coltrane, Ornette Coleman – for Bob, they
were all a subway ride away.
His first instrument was clarinet, but the tenor saxophone, through Coltrane, Sonny Rollins
and Stan Getz quickly won him over. There were jam sessions, opportunities to sit in with
Cecil Taylor, Mingus, Max Roach, Pharoah Sanders; it was a trial by fire. In the 70s Bob
went to
