The Jazz Gallery is one of the greatest places to hear music in the entire world. Anyone who's ever seen a show there knows this. I've seen master improvisers like Henry Threadgill and Lee Konitz from the Gallery's front row, sitting mere inches from their horns. I've been envelopped by the sound of large ensembles packed ino the tiny space -- groups led by Sherisse Rogers, Pedro Giraudo, and other amazing composer-bandleaders. It's a stage that encourages and nurtures new artists -- when they invited us to perform there for the first time, back in 2007 they were the first"real" jazz venue to offer us a gig! Before we recorded our first album, Infernal Machines, we warmed up with a weekend at The Jazz Gallery that included the premiere of two works commissioned by their Large Ensemble Comissioning Series -- "Obsidian Flow" and "Jacobin Club." (What other jazz venue has a large ensemble comissioning series?)
Sadly, The Jazz Gallery have been forced to move out of their much-loved current location in mid-December. (Never fear, we fully expect them to rise again, phoenix-like, before too long — you can help them do it here.) Meanwhile, this weekend, we are celebrating the living history of the current location with two nights of music, including the two works comissioned by The Jazz Gallery, and a preview of our upcoming recording, Brooklyn Babylon. We hope you'll join us for this final bigband blow-out at one of my all-time favorite venues.
