We pride ourselves on keeping up to speed on jazz concerts but sometimes they just slip through the net. Promotion has always been difficult for music so hopefully our small efforts help you, the reader, to pick up on some overlooked events too… like this one with the mighty Miguel Zenón in the band (whos own album Identities Are Changeable is high on the list to being a best of 2014 album), and just check Bobby Aveys accolades: BOBBY AVEY AUTHORITY MELTS FROM ME - The Tour Thursday 4th Dec - Pizza Express Jazz Club, London Friday 5th Dec - CBSO Centre, Birmingham Saturday 6th Dec - Hen & Chickens, Bristol Tuesday 9th Dec - Band On The Wall, Manchester Wednesday 10th Dec - College Of Music, Leeds Bobby Avey piano Miguel Zenón alto saxophone Ben Monder guitar Michael Janisch double bass Jordan Perlson drums Authority Melts from Me is the fascinating new album from Bobby Avey, praised by the New Yorker magazine as “A young pianist of invention and refinement.” Winner of the 2011 Thelonious Monk Competition for composition, Avey also received the 2011 “New Jazz Works: Commissioning and Ensemble Development Grant” from Chamber Mysic America, which enabled Avey to travel to Haiti to record a Vodou Ceremony in the small village of Soukri and subsequently create an hour-long suite grounded in rhythms found in Haitian Vodou drumming. This compelling suite of new music pays homage to the Haitian Revolution and features the immense talents of Miguel Zenón, Ben Monder, Thomson Kneeland, and Jordan Perlson.
