| Event Info/Notes: | Friday July 31st 2009 NAKANAKA presents: Ned Rothenberg's SYNC & Harris Eisenstadt's Woodblock Prints 8 pm start $10 advanced tickets $12 at the door   Ned Rothenberg's SYNC "Sync might be envisioned as a modified sax/bass/drum trio, where the bassist has been replaced by Jerome Harris on either acoustic guitar or acoustic bass guitar, and where the drummer’s role is taken by Samir Chatterjee on tabla and dumbek. With Rothenberg moving among alto sax, clarinet, bass clarinet, and the Japanese shakuhachi and composing looping ribbons of melody with odd rhythmic contours, the trio has found a most palatable merger of jazz and Asian music." -Bob Blumenthal (Boston Globe) "The music was flat-out gorgeous" -Washington Post. Harris Eisenstadt's Woodblock Prints The group's music is inspired by depictions of nature found in Japanese woodblock prints, an ancient form of relief printing created from intricately carved wood. *** "Harris Eisenstadt produced one of 2008’s most memorable avant-jazz releases, the African-inspired Guewel. Tonight the highly imaginative drummer-composer debuts a new nonet inspired by Japanese woodblock prints." - Time Out New York Ned Rothenberg trio SYNC Bass clarinet, alto saxophone and shakuhachi player Ned Rothenberg with his trio Sync with Jerome Harris and Samir Chatterjee |
