About this Event
TICKETED EVENT.
Join us at Rizzoli Bookstore on Sunday, September 21 at 4:30pm for the world-premiere of a new trio led by drummer and composer Allison Miller, with longtime collaborators saxophonist Caroline Davis and bassist Rashaan Carter.
Celebrated for her inventive drumming and acclaimed projects like Boom Tic Boom and Rivers in Our Veins, Allilson Miller is one of today’s most dynamic bandleaders. Caroline Davis, a DownBeat Rising Star, is a bold saxophonist and composer whose albums Portals and Captivity showcase her adventurous spirit. Rashaan Carter, a versatile and in-demand bassist, has brought his depth to collaborations with Brandee Younger, Marta Sánchez and Wallace Roney.
Although Miller, Davis, and Carter have worked together in various projects, this will be their first performance as a trio. The intimate setting of Rizzoli’s NoMad space will offer a rare chance to hear three world-class musicians ignite a fresh and unpredictable musical dialogue.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a TICKETED EVENT. Doors open at 4:15 pm / show starts at 4:30 pm. Seating is limited and will be first come, first served.
Tickets include a 15% store discount which can be used the day of the concert, and a complimentary glass of wine provided by Field Blend Selections.
RIZZOLI MUSIC APERITIVO
From Francis Scott Fitzgerald to Jack Kerouac, from Toni Morrison to James Baldwin, from Philip Michael Ondaatje to Geoff Dyer, from Julio Cortazar to Boris Vian, from Amiri Baraka and Ishmael Reed to Jayne Cortez, the list of international writers and poets inspired or intrigued by jazz and other musical genres goes on. Since New York City’s Rizzoli Bookstore has a long tradition of building bridges between arts genres, international scenes, and creative people, we wanted to turn our gorgeous space in NoMad into an experimental living room where live jazz and other music can be enjoyed. The Rizzoli Music Aperitivo is sponsored by Field Blend Selections and is curated by Mondo Jazz, the weekly Radio Free Brooklyn show dedicated to international jazz

FIELD BLEND SELECTIONS
Founded in January 2017, Field Blend Selections is a new wine importing and distribution company based in New York City, serving the New York and New Jersey markets.
In both name and practice, Field Blend Selections celebrates agricultural traditions and diversity. The name is an homage to the nineteenth-century immigrants who co-planted an assortment of grape varieties in vineyards throughout the United States, many of which survive today. Alongside their vines, they often co-planted other crops, including fruits, grains, and legumes. This approach of co-mingling various plantings to achieve balance in the vineyards is now referred to as polyculture, and it is widely recognized as one of the best methods for naturally enriching soils and reducing disease. Polyculture, by replicating nature’s diverse ecosystems, produces healthier fruit without the necessity of artificial herbicides or pesticides.
