SUMMARY:DON ALIQUO
DESCRIPTION:Saxophonist Don Aliquo’s playing has been described as “smooth as silk…with an unfailing feel for breath and phrasing” while extremely supple in the addressing of his axe but always zeroed in on what he’s describing”. \n“Growth” his newest release\, explores new territory with intriguing compositions and ample solo space for Aliquo’s inspired improvisations. The eight originals are both complex and open\, which shows him expanding his boundaries not only as an instrumentalist and improviser\, but also as a composer. The music is an electrifying modern outing with one foot in the future and one in the tradition. \nAliquo has released six solo projects and has worked collaboratively or performed as a sideman on many others. His previous solo cd “Sun and Shield” features veteran jazz masters Rufus Reid\, Jim McNeely\, and the dynamic Obed Calvaire. \nNotable collaborations include a duo recording with eclectic pianist Michael Jefry Stevens and quartet recordings with Roger Humphries and the late Beegie Adair. He also has recorded with his mentor\, notable Pittsburgh tenor stalwart\, Don Aliquo Sr. on the MCG label. \nDon has performed in concerts and recordings with many world-class artists including Gary Burton\, Greg Osby\, Rufus Reid\, Roger Humphries\, Harold Danko\, Adam Nussbaum\, Donald Brown\, Pete Christlieb\, Scott Robinson\, and Bobby Shew. \nCover: $20.00 advance/door

SUMMARY:CHEMBO CORNIEL QUINTET
DESCRIPTION:Wilson “Chembo” Corniel\, Jr. Born in Manhattan on November 22\, 1953 of proud Puerto Rican parents\, Chembo was raised in the humble streets of Red Hook\, Brooklyn. It was during these years\, as a quick-witted youngster\, that he had the privilege and honor to study with such percussion luminaries as\, Tommy Lopez Sr.\, “Little Ray” Romero\, Louie Bauza\, and Cachete Maldonado. Chembo honed his skills at The Harbor Conservatory for the Performing Arts in New York\, and also at the prestigious La Escuela Nacional de Arte in Havana\, Cuba under the direction of the great Chucho Valdés. His intense studies with such legends noted above channeled his energy onto a path where Wilson “Chembo” Corniel has now created a reputation for himself among musicians and the public. \n\nToday\, he is considered as one of the best hard-hitting\, versatile percussionists around. Chembo teaches percussion to students at the SUNY Purchase Conservatory of Music a also at The Collective and leads numerous clinics throughout the United States where he brings awareness to others of the rich Afro-Caribbean traditions. Among his credits\, Chembo was chosen to create his own instructional DVD called\, “An Introduction to Hand Percussion: Volume I—Congas”. It was released in December of 2000 and with distribution by Warner Brothers it has been a success. \n\nThe Band:\nEvan Francis – Tenor sax/ Flute\nGabriel Chakarji – Piano\nGabriel Case – Acoustic Bass\nDiego Lopez – Drums\nChembo Corniel – Tumbadoras \nTickets: Student $27.98 +fee  | GA $59.75 +fee
