The Paul Asbell Jazz Quintet

Date: Friday, May 17, 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM

Location: ArtisTree Community Arts Center , 2095 Pomfret Road, South Pomfret, VT

Cost: $20 per ticket

Paul Asbell’s “Burmese Panther” is the culmination of several years of composing, arranging, and fine-tuning his original compositions with a regular group of world-class players.

Paul Asbell, on the "Burmese Panther" CD project:

"After a string of gigs during Discover Jazz Festival 2017, my long-time music compatriot and studio engineer Chuck Eller suggested that I consider recording the band, and the original tunes we’d worked up together, while they were still fresh in our minds, and tightly worked into our fingers. It was an excellent idea... but one which didn’t come to fruition until late August. That recording session wound up serving as a “dry run” for the real deal, which began in earnest after a similar run of gigs after DJF ‘18, and continued throughout the summer. The recording owes its existence to the generosity of 135 friends, fans, and well-wishers who contributed to a successful Kickstarter for the project that took place in April. I remain overwhelmed by their support, and am deeply grateful to all who contributed! I’m also deeply grateful to the musicians who contributed so much time and emotional energy to learning these tunes, and personalizing them in various ways to create the recording.

Thanks, guys... I think we created something pretty cool!"

In his 50 year professional career, Paul Asbell has played and recorded with Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Howlin’ Wolf, Lightnin’ Hopkins, Paul Butterfield, Magic Sam, Earl Hooker, David Bromberg, Paul Siebel, Mary McCaslin, Sonny Stitt, Jon Hendricks, Bobby McFerrin, and many others. His jazz-fusion group Kilimanjaro has released several award-winning recordings, and performed at jazz festivals worldwide, including Montreux, Montreal, Atlanta, and Roskilde, in Copenhagen. Their “Homecoming" CD was picked by Jazziz magazine for their “Best of 2009” CD, along with tracks by Chick Corea, John McLaughlin, Branford Marsalis, and other heavyweights. Paul’s three solo acoustic CDs, Steel-String Americana, Roots and Branches, and From Adamant To Atchafalaya, received numerous rave reviews for their fresh takes on blues and jazz standards, old-timey country tunes, and original pieces from the “american roots” tradition. Recent appearances include Healdsburg, Woodstock (NY) and Newport Guitar Festivals, MerleFest, Lunenburg Folk Festival, and many other venues. Acoustic Guitar magazine recently did an article on him, featuring his composition Chunky Monkey Gumbo.

Gallery Opening Reception: Humberto Ramirez

Date: Friday, May 17, 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM

Location: ArtisTree Community Arts Center , 2095 Pomfret Road, South Pomfret, VT

Cost: Free

Humberto Ramirez: Works about form, space, light and color Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 11am-4pm

The paintings allude to the botanical garden as an abstract fantasy. They use the vocabulary and conventions of abstraction but are deeply rooted in an experience of the body and the world. In a way, they are less of a radical denial of the social, as they are a reaffirmation of the desire for a space of creative autonomy. These works are all about form, space, light and color and while pointing to the corporeal world they also seek to transcend it.

~ Humberto Ramirez | 2019

Opening Reception on May 17th at 5:30pm

Exhibit dates are May 17th through June 1st.

Enjoy the 9th Avenue Food Festival as one of New York's largest and oldest traditions, and it's a vibrant celebration of cultural diversity through food. The fair offers both traditional festival treats like zeppolis, mozzarepas, funnel cakes, egg creams, and more fabulous food you won't see at any other festivals. Here you'll also find Argentinian, Brazilian, Cajun, Cuban, Dominican, Ethiopian, Greek, Haitian, Irish, Moroccan, Ukrainian, and many other kinds of cuisine. But not only the food of the festival is international. There are also two stages with ethnic music and performances like German folk dancing, Arabian scarf dancing, Celtic dancing, Peabody, Egyptian belly dancing, etc. The 9th Avenue Food Festival is held to raise funds for community groups and perfectly illustrates the diversity of New York itself. https://rove.me/to/new-york/the-9th-avenue-international-food-festival.
