ADMISSION: $37.50 Full Price / $28.50 IMAC Members

On Friday, May 5th, 2006 at 9PM, the Inter-Media Art Center (also known as “IMAC”) in Huntington, Long Island will present a concert with jazz fusionists Chieli Minucci and Special EFX.

In these times when so much music is narrow-casted into one specific niche, it’s refreshing and impressive to find a musician who has been successful in a variety of genres. Chieli Minucci (pronounced Kee-eli Mee-noo-che), one of the two founding members of Special EFX (a seminal and vital icon of contemporary jazz) has scored major successes as a composer and guitarist in many styles. Whether he’s playing on the recordings of such major R&B/ pop stars as Celine Dion, Jewel or The Backstreet Boys, making Smooth Jazz radio hits or composing music for big stage productions (his credits include Nickelodeon’s “Dora The Explorer- LIVE”) Chieli Minucci sets high standards indeed. He is an artist who reminds us that jazz was originally popular music. As a result, he draws from the realms of rock, pop, world music, funk and jazz to create surpassingly fresh and dynamic instrumental music that delivers significant musical substance as well as accessible sounds and grooves. Special EFX spearheaded by guitarist Chieli Minucci, who along with the late George Jinda, helped to pave the road of contemporary jazz through the 80s and 90s and continues to set the trend.

Tickets for this performance are $37.50 ($28.50 for IMAC Members). For tickets or further information on this performance, or on other IMAC programs, call IMAC's 24-hour Arts-Line at (631) 549-ARTS.
