The real art of jazz improvisation… in real time
Ever since the beginnings of jazz, musicians have JAMMED together… checking each other out– listening intently to each other, responding, competing, sharing. To see great jazz players "go at it" with one another is the stuff of legends– and one of the great pleasures for jazz-loving audiences. For this session, Pete Amahl has assembled an exciting variety of instrumentalists. For the musicians, it's an opportunity for each of them to sit in and jam with people they don't normally get a chance to play with. And it's going to be a blast for us!
You'll see players from all over New Mexico and right here in Taos. Leading off the afternoon, it's pianist Steve Figueroa (of Red Hot & Red), André
Mali on trumpet (he knocked us out last year with a sound reminiscent of MIles Davis), alto saxophonist Bruce Holmes (Las Vegas, NM and a prior New Orleans session man), bassist Asher Barreras (he appeared at Daleee with his own band last season) and the one and only Pete Amahl on drums. After they warm up the room, they'll begin to rotate out and other players will join in– Dan Lizdas on keys, Larry Audette on bass, and saxophonist Dan Daily. Violinist Ollie O'Shea (known for his jazz duets with Nina Simone's guitarist Al Schackman) will make a rare Taos appearance. Adding to the energy will be two very young and talented players– drummer Luca Boyles (Tootie Heath's protégé), and 16 year-old saxophone phenom, Paul Lovato, in his Taos début.
Pete invites some of New Mexico's best jazz artists to "sit-in" and make impromptu jazz magic!
