About Dave Liebman:

”Best known from his early-1970s work with Miles Davis, Liebman has
spent his time since then carving out a career that defines
unpredictability. His provocative recordings have veered in multiple
directions…What binds these many albums is his world-class playing.”
Washington Post – Steve Futterman

“Liebman is among the most important saxophonists in contemporary
music . . . a leader and artist of integrity and independent
direction.”
Leonard Feather – Downbeat

He’s completely inside the instrument and the result is a forceful
complexity that no one, with the possible exception of John Coltrane,
has been able to match. Liebman- as Coltrane often did -displays the
passion of intellect and understands the emotional excitement of
brilliant ideas.”  Neil Tesser – Chicago Tribune

About Marc Copland:

“His harmonic ingenuity is amazing….Copland is rightly considered
one of the most important jazz pianists of the decade..”/Dresden
Morning Post (Germany)

“One of the most original pianists in jazz…harmonically he’s unlike
anyone else. This marvelous trio is fresh, assured and independently
minded.”/Irish Times

“Spontaneous, tasteful, goal-driven and now in his prime, Marc
Copland’s work has grown to the point where he is one of the leading
jazz pianists of his generation.”  jazzreview.com (USA)

FILM NIGHT for FILM FREAKS !!! ≈ Sunday March 16th / 5PM

9b11072bb_494816141013DOWNTOWN 81

The film is a day in the life of a young artist, Jean Michel Basquiat, who needs to raise money to reclaim the apartment from which he has been evicted. He wanders the downtown streets carrying a painting he hopes to sell, encountering friends, whose lives (and performances) we peek into. He finally manages to sell his painting to a wealthy female admirer, but he’s paid by check. Low on cash, he spends the evening wandering from club to club, looking for a beautiful girl he had met earlier, so he’ll have a place to spend the night. Downtown 81 not only captures one of the most interesting and lively artists of the twentieth century as he is poised for fame, but it is a slice of life from one of the most exciting periods in American culture, with the emergence of new wave music, new painting, hip hop and graffiti.
