ADMISSION: $27.50/ $21.00 IMAC
members
Thanks to a generous grant and tremendous
support from the Town of Huntington, IMAC’s quarterly
series, Long Island’s Own, will take a genre such
as singer/songwriter, blues, jazz, folk, country or dance
and will offer a sampling of two to three artists in an
evening’s performance. The series is meant to challenge
Long Island audiences to take a chance, have their horizons
expanded and experience a pleasant surprise that they might
not have considered in the past.
Our next LONG ISLAND’S OWN will be
on Friday April 28th, 2006 at 9:00pm and features smokin’
and smoldering jazz with The Matt Marshak Band and John
Favicchia and the Dharma Allstars.
From Miller Place, Long Island, Matt Marshak
has surely and steadily carved out a niche in smooth contemporary
jazz, blues, funk and pop music. Inspired by the sounds
of Larry Carlton and Robben Ford, which he soaked in at
IMAC Theater, Matt’s sound has developed into something
quite diverse. Funky rhythms, urban feels, down home blues,
and memorable melodies have been the successful recipe.
He has had the chance to open for artists such as Peter
White, Richard Elliot, and Jeff Golub. In 2003 he was voted
“Best New Artist” by CD 101.9 and his album
“This Time Around” achieved worldwide airplay.
“Dharma” is a Sanskrit word for one’s
purpose in life. For the New York native, John Favicchia,
that means playing the drums. Or more specifically, getting
behind the skins with an amazing group of musicians and
playing his heart out. His well-received solo debut “World
Time” earned rave reviews and was a “critics’
pick” for Top Ten of the Year of Jazz Magazine. The
Dharma Allstars were assembled in 2000. Performing the music
from John’s critically acclaimed CDs the group traverses
styles ranging from Fusion, Smooth to Latin Jazz. The group
features : John Favicchia (drums), Bill Heller (keyboard),
John Scarpulla (sax), Carl Fischer (trumpet), Jack Knight
(bass), and Tom Guarna (guitar).
