Fulton Street Collective presents a performance with LIVIA GAZZOLO TRIO and JAMES DEMENY QUARTET on Tuesday, July 30thThe evening will feature live painting from visual artist TBA.
Livia Gazzolo is a Kurdish-American Jazz and Brazilian Tropicalia vocalist who uses Middle Eastern melisma and unique dynamics to connect Jazz, Brazilian, and Kurdish musical traditions. Livia aims to illustrate the connectivity of cultures through her ethereal fusion of diverse musical traditions. Livia is now producing and performing in The Silent Film Series, a collection of shows where she performs live music with a host of incredible musicians in front of wonderfully theatrical silent films from the early 1900's.
James Demeny, Chicago-based jazz musician and teacher, has a distinctive musical voice that is all their own. Through the medium of tap dance, they explore the relationship between sound and dance in a way that is steeped in tradition, while challenging the listeners’ ideas of what a jazz band and tap dancer can be. Using their tap shoes, James replaces the drummer in their ensembles, plays melodies, and improvises over song forms. Rather than the flashy extravagance of what one may expect from tap dance, James’ concentration is on percussive improvisation that is full of musical complexity and integrity.
