On
SATURDAY, November 30th at 8 & 10:30PM, the Inter-Media
Art Center (IMAC) in Huntington, Long Island will present
JAZZ IS DEAD - Jazz Explorations into the Music of the Grateful
Dead.
JAZZ IS DEAD embarks from the compass point of GARCIA and
Co.'s most complex and audacious material, culled from many
periods of their storied history. From there, the musical
heading is unknown, each performance promising inspired improvisation
and new discovery, like the band whose work they celebrate.
The music is crafted by an all-star line-up including BILLY
COBHAM, T LAVITZ, KEN GRADNEY and JEFF PEVAR.
Only
a few times in history has a musician been singled out as
the world-class master of his instrument. BILLY COBHAM is
one of those few artists. For over 30 years, he has received
international acclaim as the total consummate
percussionist. He has performed on hundreds of records with
his own groups and with some of the music's luminary artists,
including Miles Davis, Mahavishnu Orchestras, George Duke,
Peter Gabriel and Larry Coryell.
Bassist
KEN GRADNEY has been around. As the bassist of Little Feat
since 1973, Gradney have been demonstrating the art of the
groove for over twenty years, both live in concert and on
classic recordings such as "Dixie Chicken", "Feats
Don't Fail Me Now", and the more recent "Ain't had
Enough Fun".
Guitarist
JEFF PEVAR is one of the tops in his field, having played
and toured with such distinguished artists like David Crosby,
Graham Nash, Ray Charles and Phil Lesh and Friends.
Keyboardist
T LAVITZ was a co-founder of the legendary, six-time Grammy
nominated band, The Dixie Dregs and its successor, The Dregs.
He's also toured and recorded with Widespread Panic, Jefferson
Starship, The Bluesbusters,
Scott Henderson and Journey's Steve Smith, among others.
