7:00 PM ROSETTA TRIO
Memphis-bred Brooklynite bassist/composer Stephan Crump will perform with his unique all-string Rosetta Trio in support of their new Sunnyside Records release, Reclamation. Featuring nine intensely personal compositions including the polyglot “Pernambuco,” a piece commissioned by 92nd St Y and New York Guitar Festival, Reclamation is a declaration of a unique new compositional voice.
The freshness of the compositions is matched by the intimate synergy of the ensemble, first convened on the 2006 release Rosetta that gave the trio its name. Reviewers were ecstatic about the “engaging and sublime meeting” of Crump on acoustic bass with guitarists Liberty Ellman and Jamie Fox. “Here is a string ensemble for the new century!" raved Donald Elfman in All About Jazz NY. Having toured the US and UK and performed together in a varied contexts for years, Rosetta Trio has developed into a formidable unit, sensitively and powerfully rendering Crump’s often profound, sometimes playful and always honest music.

10:00 PM Sherele - Klezmer from around the globe
http://www.myspace.com/shereles
Sherele is an ensemble bringing together musicians from France, Mexico and Argentina. The band plays a Klezmer repertoire, along with original pieces in which we blend Jazz, Rock and Argentinian accents into the Klezmer sound. Faithful to klezmer customs, we absorb, modify and create new melodies and rhythms.
Sherele plays klezmer in a fresh and contemporary way.
We made a cd released in 2008, Oy Mame Shein, Pickles Chiles and Jrein.
Our piece Polka Dot Blues, composed by Nathalie Braux, the clarinet player, was selected by Putumayo Records for its compilation Jazz Around the World, released in 2009.
