Christmas with Jose Conde y Ola Fresca

Saturday, December 6, 2008

Christmas Show

Jose Conde takes his Cuban roots and grafts them onto a dizzying range of Afro-Latin styles, from Puerto Rican bomba to Haitian compas to New Orleans swamp-funk, for a nonstop blend of party-stoking grooves. Celebrate Christmas with a smorgasbord of sounds that "plucks the nerve that trips the booty-shake mechanism in everybody."

17 Hippies

Saturday, January 17, 2009

8PM

The sensation of Global Union 2007!

Berlin's 'orchester spezial' makes whirling, crashing, diving, bobbing and weaving music from around the world. Imagine a mix of Eastern melodies, Balkan rhythms, French chanson, Anglo song writing, and Cajun tunes, all perfectly blended into a unique "Berlin Style" of ... well ... just about the most hippi-licious music you've ever heard!

Alverno Presents Andy Bey Trio

Saturday, February 14, 2009

8pm

He sings with an intimacy and grace that reminds one of Billy Eckstein and Nat King Cole

Before singer-pianist Andy Bey teamed up with producer Herb Jordan 11 years ago to begin recording a series of critically acclaimed CDs - of which "Ain't Necessarily So" is the fifth and latest - Bey's riveting art was known only to a select few, such as Sarah Vaughan, Lena Horne, Carmen McRae, Nina Simone, and Aretha Franklin, and instrumentalists who've hired him as singer and/or pianist
