The Anatomy of Vince Guaraldi |
|
 THE JAZZ BAKERY “MOVABLE FEAST” PRESENTS
FILM: THE ANATOMY OF VINCE GUARALDI
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18th, ONE SHOW 2 PM
VENUE: BARNDALL GALLERY THEATER AT BARNSDALL ART PARK
4800 HOLLYWOOD BLVD, HOLLYWOOD, CA 90027
Earlier this summer, the Jazz Bakery premiered this feature-length documentary to a packed house. It generated such acclaim that we arranged to present an encore screening for all those who missed it.
Winner of several Best Documentary Awards (Park City, Colorado Film Fest) and a featured event at the last Monterey Jazz Festival, “Anatomy” features never-before-seen footage of Guaraldi, plus performances and intimate recollections from Dave Brubeck, Dick Gregory, George Winston, John Handy, Irwin Corey, David Benoit, Malcolm Boyd, Paul Krassner and many, many more.
Scored from Guaraldi’s recently discovered collection of personal tapes, the film is an unconventional look at the man, his music, and the serendipity that defined his career -- from “Cast Your Fate To The Wind” to the scores for the Peanuts specials, and the revolutionary Jazz Mass at Grace Cathedral.
Produced by award-winning “cultural anthropologist” Andrew Thomas and Toby Gleason (son of famed jazz writer Ralph J. Gleason), “The Anatomy of Vince Guaraldi” is a treat you shouldn’t miss!
More information on the production is available at: www.anatomyofvinceguaraldi.com
Following the screening is a live appearance by Ronnie Schell.
Each ticket order will also receive a link to download an exclusive mp3 of music from the original soundtrack album! |

 THE JAZZ BAKERY “MOVABLE FEAST” PRESENTS
CHARLES LLOYD NEW QUARTET
SATURDAY, SEPT. 25th ONE SHOW 8:30 PM
NATE HOLDEN PERFORMING ARTS CENTER
4718 WEST WASHINGTON BLVD
LOS ANGELES, CA 90016
Â
Jazz at its most pure and best... “Follow the career of Charles Lloyd and you see a map of great jazz across half a century. His New Quartet with pianist Jason Moran, bassist Reuben Rogers and drummer Eric Harland is full of momentum and intuition, perfectly representing the idea that the best jazz needs to be experienced live.” –Ben Ratliff, The New York Times
“Lloyd is one of the greats, he has no peer save himself. Music of total transport and delight." –Jazzwise
“The rediscovery of Charles Lloyd is one of the best things to happen to jazz in more than a decade. He is humble and peaceful, yet he experiments without fear. Once again successful and appreciated by the jazz world, he outshines some of the most noted players on today’s scene. His music is a balm to ears grown weary of jazz that is derivative, exclusionary or a passing fad.” –Seattle Post Intelligencer
“Charles is playing really beautiful.” –Ornette Coleman
“Charles Lloyd is one of the greatest saxophonists on the planet, never afraid of experiment, but never out of touch with his audience.” –BBC Radio 3
The knowledge, experience, and wisdom conveyed through Lloyd’s tender saxophone soliloquies have drawn great musicians to him over the decades, and contributed to a reputation as one of the most insightful band leaders in all of jazz. Those qualities are reflected a hundred fold in his New Quartet.

 THE JAZZ BAKERY “MOVABLE FEAST”
QUINCY JONES PRESENTING THE ALFREDO RODRIGUEZ TRIO
THURSDAY, SEPT. 30th ONE SHOW 8:30 PM
MUSICIANS INSTITUTE CONCERT HALL
1655 N. MCCADDEN PLACE,
HOLLYWOOD, CA 90028
•Look for "Sounds of Space", Alfrado Rodriguez's debut recording on Quincy's Qwest label.
Press Excerpts:
“Young Cuban pianist Alfredo Rodriguez sounds the way Monk might have sounded if he had been born in Chick Corea’s body and raised on a diet of Bach, Chopin and Stravinsky in a Havana conservatory.”
“It’s hard to think of a jazz pianist since Art Tatum so capable of reaching across the complete range of the instrument’s expressive potential. In one tune, his crisp bebop lines recall Bill Evans. Other pieces suggest the melodic inventiveness of Keith Jarrett.” (Don Heckman)
“Alfredo Rodriguez is fond of saying that music has been his life since he was very young. The thing is, he’s still very young. But the story of this 24-year-old pianist’s daring defection from Cuba, his uncanny virtuosity-(enough to pique the interest of Quincy Jones) and his all-hands-on-deck enthusiasm at the keyboard indicate that music will be his fiber for as long as his fingers can find their way to the ivory. Rodriguez says, Quincy has become his mentor, teacher and 'like a new father' to him”.
Quincy Says: “It makes me happy to lend my support to Ruth Price for this evening's Movable Feast and to help her keep the Jazz Bakery alive until they settle in their new permanent digs.” |
