U.FProductions Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Dec 3rd @ Pepper Jack's Hamilton Dec 4th The Elmocambo (downstairs) Toronto The Marco Benevento and Joe Russo Duo opener TBA Three years ago, a chance meeting in New York City reunited Marco Benevento and Joe Russo and spawned the formation of a genre-busting combination henceforth known as THE DUO. Originally comprised of Hammond organ and drums, and recently adding other keyboards and electronic effects, the pair creates a sound that is undeniably original (and funky as hell). As a pair they have been the “buzz” band of the year with sold-out shows of their own, and as the backing band for such luminaries as Warren Haynes, Marc Ribot, Charlie Hunter, Mike Gordon and others. Their ropeadope debut is being recorded this august by joey waronker and will be released in early 2005. Dec 10th @ Pepper Jack's Hamilton Vorcza People are listening. They are reacting. Strongly. Vorcza’s dynamic performances and intellectual compositions are merging musical worlds to create smart AND danceable music with roots and soul. Vorcza starts with the language and tradition of jazz as a base from which to create new music, focusing on original compositions and improvisations. Vorcza also brings a fresh interpretation to the works of visionary composers such as Thelonious Monk, Charles Mingus, Eric Dolphy, and Sun Ra, among others. They are quickly earning recognition as one of jazz music's most exciting improvisational ensembles. Ray Paczkowski (Hammond organ, piano, keys) is also a member of the Trey Anastasio Band and has performed on the Tonight Show and David Letterman, as well as toured extensively throughout the U.S. He has recorded with Trey Anastasio , Dave Schools (Widespread Panic), and performed with John Medeski, Marshall Allen, Lester Bowie, Cyro Baptista and Peter Apfelbaum. ! Gabe Jarrett (Drums) comes from a musical family. His father, Keith Jarrett, is a world renowned musician and composer, and his younger brother is a jazz bassist. Gabe hasperformed as a member of the Jazz Mandolin Project, Will Bernard’s Motherbug , aswell as with Michael Ray, Gordon Stone, The Jazz Passengers and PeterApfelbaum.! Robinson Morse (Acoustic and electric bass) is the youngest member of the trio, but has already recorded with viperHouse , Dave Schools (Widespread Panic), Orchid andthe Tala Sextet . He has also performed with Lester Bowie and Trey Anastasio.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
