SUMMARY:Jazz Vespers: William Parker Quintet at Saint Peter's Church
DESCRIPTION:NYC’s unique jazz prayer service\, Sundays at 5 since 1965. All are welcome. Free to attend! \nABOUT WILLIAM PARKER (bass and flutes) \nWilliam Parker — bassist\, multi-instrumentalist\, composer\, author\, bandleader\, visual artist\, organizer — should need no introduction to anyone with an interest in jazz. We are delighted to share William’s music with you on this date\, where he leads a band of luminary musicians including Lisa Sokolov (voice)\, Melanie Dyer (viola)\, Hans Young-Binter (piano)\, and Isaiah Barr (tenor saxophone and flute). This promises to be one of the most meaningful Jazz Vespers of the year. \nABOUT LISA SOKOLOV (voice) \nLisa Sokolov is a frontline New York jazz vocalist\, improviser and composer. Her work embraces the best of new music\, free and straight ahead jazz. Her recordings angel Rodeo\, Lazy Afternoon\, Presence and A Quiet Thing have all received Best CD of the Year citations and press kudos. DownBeat magazine cites “Presence” as 5 stars “Masterpiece”\, Best CD of the Year and made the DownBeat “Best of the Decade” list in 2010. \nHer own studies began as a classical pianist and singer with conservatory prep education and traditional musical training. Her intrigue with the music of John Coltrane led her to search out Coltrane’s bassist Jimmy Garrison at Bennington College in Vermont. Choosing this school\, she found herself able to study with trumpeter Bill Dixon\, saxophonist Jimmy Lyons\, and drummer Milford Graves\, as well as composers Vivian Fine and Louis Calabro. \nArriving on the New York scene in 1977\, Lisa began collaborating with bassist William Parker. This collaboration continues. These years included working in trio with singers Ellen Christie and Jeanne Lee. Lisa also was heard regularly with pianists Wayne Horvitz and Robin Holcomb in the days of Studio Henry. Indeed over the years she has worked with many new music and jazz notables including Cecil Taylor\, Rashid Ali\, Badal Roy\, Andrew Cyrille\, Mark Dresser\, Jimmy Lyons\, Irene Schweitzer\, Cameron Brown\, Butch Morris\, Gerry Hemingway\, Blue “Gene” Tyranny\, Hilton Ruiz\, Mike Richmond\, and Jim McNeely. \nLisa has recorded on Soul Note\, Uneet\, Aum\, Boxholder\, Between the Lines and Laughing Horse Records. \nABOUT MELANIE DYER (viola) \nViolist Melanie Dyer performs and composes in creative\, improvised\, and through-composed music forms.
