Northampton Jazz Workshop features NYC vibraphonist Warren Chiasson Tuesday, October 9th, 7:30 to 8:30PM followed by an open jazz jam session until 10:30 PM at the The City Sports Grille at Spare Time Northampton, 525 Pleasant St., Northampton.
Hi All,
Upcoming Guest Artists:
Please join us as we welcome back for his third appearance the great vibraphonist Warren Chiasson. Warren plays with unending enthusiasm and energy and we are thrilled to get another chance to play his music. Here is an excerpt from his bio:
Originally a member of the George Shearing Quintet, he has emerged as his own man with a distinctive four-mallet technique that he weaves into a percussive, melodic style.
Prior to forming his own group, Chiasson was for many years best known for his creative contributions to the Chet Baker Quartet, the Tal Farlow Trio, and jazz/pop diva Roberta Flack. In addition to recording his own albums, he has played on over 100 recordings with such artists as Eric Dolphy, Bill Dixon, Hank Crawford and was featured on a Grammy Award winning album with B.B. King.
Alert! If you get a chance listen to Jazz a la Mode on NEPR radio on Monday night (weeknights from 8-11PM). Host Tom Reney will be playing some of Warren's music on his show; and, if you are a contributor, you can get Tom's daily playlist sent to you on line. Tom produces this list that includes airing times, info on composer, artist and record label. NEPR plays a huge role in keeping this music alive and supporting local live music and hosts Tom and Kari Njiiri (Jazz Safari on Saturday nights) are a huge part of this. If you are not a contributor to the station already but do listen, please consider donating as they are in a fundraiser cycle right now.
