Thursday, February 18 at 7:00 PM Education, Rehearsal and Recording Studio in the Irene Diamond Education Center Free admission Jazz at Lincoln Center hosts its second Listening Party of the 2009-10 season with legendary composer/alto saxophonist/flutist Henry Threadgill as he discusses his newest album, This Brings Us To, Vol. 1 (Pi Recordings), featuring his group Zooid, with Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Ken Druker. Already a staple of many 2009 ‘best-of’ lists, This Brings Us To, Vol. 1 is Threadgill’s first new album since 2001 and a milestone in his creation of a new system of group improvisation. An early member of the influential Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM), Threadgill continues to hold fast to that august organization’s tenets: keeping an open mind to all creative possibilities and continuing to seek new challenges. This Brings Us To, Vol. 1 is the result of eight years of experimentation and constant refinement and a powerful statement from one of the most respected composer/conceptualists in music today. This event is free and seating is open to the public on a first come, first served basis. Doors open at 6:30pm More info, photos and CD cover can be found here: Past Listening Parties Include:
