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.
