ANTHONY COLEMAN - Saturdays in November
About the Event
Pianist and composer Anthony Coleman will be in residence every Saturday at 6pm in November, playing the same 8 Thelonious Monk tunes each week with different guests.
"The Anxiety of Influence:
Monk got too inside my thing - so much so that sometimes I wasn’t even sure I had a thing. So I stopped listening to him, stopped playing his tunes and etc.
Now everybody’s playing Monk for some reason this season. I swear I wasn’t thinking about that when I decided to just play Monk tunes for all four weeks. Not only that, but I’m also going to be playing the same eight tunes all four weeks. Sometimes with guests sometimes solo.
Something will happen."
This week:
Coleman has presented his own work at the Sarajevo Jazz Festival (Bosnia), North Sea Jazz Festival (Holland), Saalfelden Festival (Austria), and the Krakow and Vienna Jewish Culture Festivals. He has been the recipient of too many commissions to list and he has recorded extensively for Tzadik and include the trio Sephardic Tinge (Sephardic Tinge, 1995; Morenica, 1998; Our Beautiful Garden is Open, 2002) and Selfhaters Orchestra (Selfhaters, 1996; The Abysmal Richness of the Infinite Proximity of the Same, 1998). Coleman has also toured and recorded with John Zorn, Elliott Sharp, Marc Ribot, Shelley Hirsch, Roy Nathanson, and many others.
Barbès has been lucky to host him numerous times in the past twenty years - so here is to hoping there will be twenty more.
