jay clayton @ the modern 2.21 / no idea fest @ lola's 2.24
herb levy of other arts sends:
Just a quick reminder that singer/composer Jay Clayton will be performing works for voice and electronics from her recent album: The Peace of Wild Things - Singing and Saying the Poets; as well as other compositions for voice and instruments with pianist Randy Halberstadt and bassist Paul Unger this Saturday night, Feb 21st at 8 PM in the auditorium of the Museum of Modern Art. Tickets are available at the door, $15 general admission, $10 for students and seniors.
Jay Clayton's career as a vocalist boldly spans the terrain between jazz and new music, with more than forty albums recorded with such artists as Muhal Richard Abrams, Gary Bartz, Jane Ira Bloom, George Cables, John Cage, Jerry Granelli, Fred Hersch, Lee Konitz, Kirk Nurock, Gary Peacock, Julian Priester, and Steve Reich. Clayton was also co-founder of the group Vocal Summit with fellow interdisciplinary vocalists Urszula Dudziak, Jeanne Lee, Bobby McFerrin, and Norma Winstone. She has performed new music, jazz originals and standards throughout North America and Europe. In addition to serving on the faculty of the Jazz Program of the New School in New York City and the Peabody Institute at Johns Hopkins University, Clayton frequently presents workshops and masterclasses for jazz singers and other improvisors, based on her book "Sing Your Story" (Advance Music, 2001).
Also, I'd like to tell you about an unusual run-out performance, the first ever in North Texas, of the annual No Idea festival. Four of the musicians who are performing on the festival in Austin and San Antonio will be playing at Lola's, 2736 W 6th Street in Fort Worth on Tuesday night, Feb 24th, along with several North Texas new music performers. The evening will be a great chance to hear a wide range of new music that we don't get to hear in Fort Worth as often as we should. Tickets are $10 at the door and based on reports, I expect the music to start about 9 PM.
