SIDE STREET STRUTTERS

Tuesday, September 16, 2008 - 7:00 pm

 

In 1983, a group of talented musicians attending Arizona State University formed a musical ensemble whose artistic focus centered in the musical traditions of early New Orleans jazz.  More than two decades later this core group of musicians, in concert, weaves a delicate tapestry of lush ballads, whimsical novelty selections and powerful, challenging arrangements that brilliantly capture the essential charm and vibrant energy of jazz – America’s musical heritage.

CORKY SIEGEL'S CHAMBER BLUES

Sunday, May 10, 2009 - 2:30 pm

 

Corky Siegel has earned an international reputation as one of the world’s great blues harmonica masters.  He is a composer, blues pianist, and singer/songwriter.  Siegel is pioneering a new genre, coined Chamber Blues, an innovative sound that blends sparkling classical music with melodic and emotional blues in an intimate setting.  Under Siegel’s direction, the West End String Quartet and percussionist, Frank Donaldson, complete the Chamber Blues Band.  Their concerts are remarkable, hot, joyous, outrageously fun and sweep both young and old onto the blissful edge between Beethoven and B.B. King.
