gallery night / jazz by the boulevard
ah, the change of seasons. it's starting to feel less like the surface of the sun outside, and ample oppos are just around the corner to show yr friends in other parts of the country why the fort is such a center of, um, arts 'n' culcha (sorry, chris).
first of all, gallery night, saturday, september 10th. this year, for a ten spot, you can avoid having to fight all those escalades and beemers on your way to your next glass of boxed wine by riding a bus chartered by the fort worth arts consortium, stopping at the firehouse gallery, art space 111, heliotrope, westbank landing gallery, the william campbell contemporary art gallery, arts fifth avenue, and studio 4. the bus leaves from the wreck room at 4pm and returns around 8pm for a reception at studio 4 (the estimable jesse sierra hernandez' studio, located behind the wreck). again, cost is $10, benefitting experience the art of music. reservations can be had by emailing gallerytour@fwac.net. (btw, if you're _off_ the bus, darrin kobetich will be playing at salon moda that night, so you can experience the art of _his_ music while getting yr cucumber facial or whatevah.) gallery night itself, of course, won't cost you a penny (unless, y'know, you decided to actually _buy a piece_ or something).
the lineup for this year's jazz by the boulevard festival, scheduled for september 16-18, is a mixed bag. while those who'd rather listen to kntu than the oasis might be a tad underwhelmed by the headliners (that'd be ex-jazz crusader joe sample and latin jazz superstar eddie palmieri), there's a lot of good local stuff on the cards -- f'rinstance, a reprise of paul unger's miles davis tribute, featuring musos of the caliber of tom reynolds, jim sangrey, dave williams, leonard belota, joey carter, and dave karnes. local gtr legend sumter bruton and fort worth business press journo mike price (who's as ubiquitous at this yr's fest as, um, stanley crouch was in the ken burns jazz doco) will perform with their swingmasters review, and black dog stalwarts dave and daver will get another chance to play the big stage if it don't rain. speaking of the black dog, the dfw poetry slam team will be there in full effect, as will the jazzmonsters big band. also on the card: mondo drummers, la feet tap ensemble, fort worth western swing expat slim richey, and the confusingly-named booker t. washington latin jazz ensemble. oh, yeah: best of all, it's _free_.
