Multiple Grammy winner Will CALHOUN BRINGS HIS JAZZ PROJECT TO LINCOLN
CENTER MONDAY NIGHT, May 28 for two sets, 7:30 and 9:30 PM, at
Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola. CALHOUN IS BEST KNOWN AS THE GROUNDBREAKING
DRUMMER IN THE BAND LIVING COLOUR; he has performed across multiple
genres, working with everyone from Pharoah Sanders, Ron Carter, Wayne
Shorter, McCoy Tyner, and other jazz greats to Public Enemy, B.B.
King, the Allman Brothers and Dr. John. CALHOUN IS NOW BRINGING HIS
JAZZ QUINTET TO DIZZY’s Club to perform music from his latest
release on Motéma Records, Celebrating Elvin Jones. In addition to
all this work in music, Will has recently broadened his artistic
expression to film scores, photography and a collection of artwork
crafted from rhythm titled "AZA". You can visit his online gallery at:
www.willcalhounart.com. He spends most of his limited down town time
in West and North Africa researching ancient rhythms and musical
styles. Will is a new breed of ethnomusicologist, combining his
ancestral research with many years of commercial success in jazz,
rock, urban, alternative, ambient and other musical forms. In
“Celebrating Elvin Jones,” Will CALHOUN HAS PAINTED A FULL PICTURE
OF WHAT MADE JONES SO SPECIAL. He brilliantly captures the artistic
ethos of the album's namesake while advancing his own identity. –Dan
