On
Saturday, September 20th, 2003 at 8PM & 10:30PM, the Inter-Media
Art Center (IMAC) in Huntington, Long Island will present
a jazz concert with ACOUSTIC ALCHEMY featuring Greg Carmichael
and John Parsons and their band.
Formed in England over a decade ago, Acoustic Alchemy modeled
themselves after bands like Pentangle and Steeleye Span. The
duo of Nick Webb and Greg Carmichael made music that combines
a variety of musical styles ranging from '70's folk-rock to
flamenco and reggae. Their signature style combined nylon
and steel-stringed guitars in eclectic tunes with pleasing
melodies and accessible arrangements. Their recordings, including
Red Dust and Spanish Lace, Natural Elements, Blue Chip, Reference
Point, Early Alchemy, ar can’ um, Positive Thinking
and The Beautiful Game have received rave reviews and tremendous
national radio airplay. Their newest Higher Octave release
is AART, their twelfth quest to musically challenge and delight
their listeners.
Although
Nick Webb succumbed to pancreatic cancer in February 1998,
his longtime friend and partner, Greg Carmichael, says, “The
best tribute I can think of for Nick, who through it all just
kept going … is to keep it going myself.” And
with the able support of John Parsons and the band, as well
as the large, devoted following of their fans, that’s
just what he’s doing.
