| Event Info/Notes: |  Formed in 2002, The Paul Carlon Octet is currently riding high on the momentum of its sophomore CD release, Roots Propaganda (Deep Tone Records). The group imagines a meeting of the worlds of Duke Ellington, Miles Davis and Gil Evans’ Sketches of Spain, and the Yoruban orixas. The album has been getting airplay on NPR’s All Things Considered, and was chosen as a Global Hit on PRI’s program The World. The Octet was featured in August at Summerstage in Central Park, guesting with Max Pollak’s Rumbatap. Official Site MySpace  Rumbatap Max Pollak, named one of "25 to Watch in 2007" by Dance Magazine, was the first person to merge American Rhythm Tap with authentic Afro-Cuban music and dance. Capturing the charged electricity and power of a Latin Jazz "Orquesta," RumbaTap features a multi-talented international cast of musicians and dancers. The company has toured throughout Europe, Japan, and the United States; recently performing to a capacity crowd at New York City's Central Park Summer Stage. |
