“A uniquely sublime musical adventure.” —Paris MoveThe influential AACM (Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians) celebrates its 60th anniversary with legendary composer/trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith and pianist/composer Amina Claudine Myers. For this remarkable engagement, they’ll perform their acclaimed recent recording Central Park’s Mosaics of Reservoir, Lake, Paths and Gardens—a musical tribute to the people, monuments, and spaces of New York City’s expansive park. Minneapolis’ beloved multi-instrumentalist/composer Douglas R. Ewart opens the evening with a cross-generational sextet featuring AACM members from Chicago and the Twin Cities. The two ensembles will, in Smith’s words, “create a vast musical universe where deep feeling, listening, and peaceful contemplations will be the keynote for Love.”
Featuring:
Wadada Leo Smith (trumpet) & Amina Claudine Myers (piano, organ) duo
Douglas R. Ewart & Inventions:
Douglas R. Ewart (composition, poetry, electronics, didgeridoo, winds, percussions), Melvin Gibbs (bass), Mankwe Ndosi (vocals, little instruments), Lela Pierce (choreography, improvisational dance), Davu Seru (drums, percussion), Edward Wilkerson Jr. (didgeridoo, winds)
