Jazz night at an amazing new venue, Venetian cafe Cicchetti BK (Brooklyn), 185 Howard Ave, 11233. Improvisations, originals, American jazz composers. Lena Bloch - tenor saxophone Frank Carlberg - piano Gabriel Balado - bass 7 - 9 PM, no cover, no minimum! Venetian food and wine! Frank Carlberg is a composer, arranger, pianist and educator whose extensive body of work ranges from small ensembles to big bands, duos to symphony orchestras. His myriad projects, often informed by an interest in poetry, modern dance, visual art and other disciplines, reveal a stylistic fluency and boundless imagination that enable him “to create a space where bop, cool and free impulses intersect” (The WholeNote, Toronto). A native of Finland based in New York, Carlberg has performed and recorded with musical giants Steve Lacy, Bob Brookmeyer, Roswell Rudd and Kenny Wheeler, and studied with the likes of Jimmy Giuffre, Paul Bley, Ran Blake, Geri Allen and Jacques-Louis Monod. Since 1999 he has served on the faculty of New England Conservatory, where he earned his Master of Music degree.
