Musical Legacies Concert: Freddie Bryant, Guitar - April 11, 2008
WILLIAMSTOWN - The Williamstown Jazz Festival presents Freddie Bryant in a Musical Legacies Concert on Sunday, April 13, at 2 p.m. at the Williams College Museum of Art (WCMA). This free event is open to the public.
In response to the exhibition, Unchained Legacies, Freddie Bryant will perform new compositions and improvisations that explore the musical legacies of the African diaspora--from spirituals, blues, and jazz to Brazilian and Afro-Caribbean styles on solo guitar using the electric, classical and 12-string guitars.
Bryant is currently in demand in the New York jazz scene where he works with Ben Riley’s Monk Legacy Septet (new CD “Memories of T” on Concord Records), the Mingus Orchestra and the pianist/singer Eliane Elias. He is also on the first call list of many singers and Brazilian musicians because of his sensitive accompanying and his knowledge of Brazilian guitar. His most recent CD is with the group Trio del Sol (Twinz Records). He has four others as a leader: Brazilian Rosewood, Boogaloo Brasileiro, Live at Smoke (Fresh Sound Records) and Take Your Dance into Battle (Jazz City Spirit). Freddie has also had the honor of touring with three legends of the music world: African singer, Salif Keita, the virtuoso klezmer clarinetist, Maestro Giora Feidman and the jazz trumpet great, Tom Harrell (as a member of his quintet, 1999-2001). He has recorded and/or played with artists including Tom Harrell, D.D. Jackson, Steve Wilson, Kevin Hays, Rosanna Vitro, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Sheila Jordan, Randy Brecker, and David Sanchez.
The festival is sponsored by the Williams Department of Music, ‘62 Center, Greylock Federal Credit Union, Berkshire Bank, Gala, Orchards Hotel, Spice Root, St. Johns, The Williams Inn, Berkshire Hills Motel, Banknorth, Café Latino, JAM, MASS MoCA, Williams College Museum of Art, The High Meadow Foundation, The Mohawk Trail Association, and Williamstown Chamber of Commerce. |
