R & R Sunday Jazz Sessions: Angelica Sanchez / Harris Eisenstadt + Sean Morrison / Ben Basile at Reason & Ruckus

About

“Angelica Sanchez features a style that may have come to define this decade, her austere lyricism has been the highlight of many of the best releases of the last 15 years.” — The Wall Street Journal “Harris Eisenstadt, a drummer and composer originally from Toronto, takes a fixer’s approach to music making, looking for ways to fit the pieces together. In his own music especially, he often seems intent on extracting consonance from dissonance or forging ungainliness into grace.” — New York Times Next up for the new monthly Sunday jazz sessions at Reason & Ruckus, it's a rare opportunity to hear the extraordinary pianist, composer, bandleader and Bard College Jazz Program Director Angelica Sanchez tear it up on Fender Rhodes electric piano, accompanied in a duo by the equally accomplished drummer, percussionist, composer and bandleader Harris Eisenstadt. Opening for AS/HE will be the duo of Sean Morrison on Rhodes, plus bassist and Poughkeepsie Jazz Project leader Ben Basile on upright. Doors @ 6:30, music around 7. Full bar, plus food courtesy the superlative Mama La's Food for the Soul located onsite. $20 at the door _________________ COMING UP: August 2: Vocalist night Fay Victor Group Fay Victor — voice, texts, effects Jochem Van Dijk — bass guitar, effects Billy Martin (form MMW) — drums & toys Opening set: Mary LaRose and Obliggato Mary LaRose — vocals Jeff Lederer — reeds Joe Fiedler — trombone Michael Bisio — bass Based on Mary LaRose's 2002 CIMP release "Obliggato" (with Jeff Lederer/Steve Swell/Dominic Duval) Mary takes a free-wheeling approach to jazz vocalese with a diverse repertoire drawing from composers such as Ornette Coleman, Paul Motian and others. _________________ September 27: Baba Andrew Lamb Trio Baba Andrew Lamb — tenor saxophone, flutes Hilliard Greene — bass Newman Taylor Baker: drums, washboard Opening set: Caroline Davis, solo
