SUMMARY:Joshua White
DESCRIPTION:“Engaging in conversation with piano colossus Joshua White is somewhat akin to experiencing one of his live performances. There will be a natural\, if unpredictable arc\, it will behoove and reward the witness to pay close attention at all points. It can careen from one topic to the next\, but it will highlight a unifying mosaic of intellectual curiosity\, profound understanding of tradition\, and an exhilarating sense of freedom. Like most opportunities in life–it is helpful to jettison your expectations and embrace the moment. \nOne of the qualities I cherish most in an improvising musician (Mr. White avoids the term “jazz\,”) is audacity–that sense of disbelief that can make the listener laugh out loud\, marveling over a defiance of expectation. All of the great pioneers of the African—American musical tradition exemplified this attribute. I don’t know what else to call it besides genius\, and Joshua exudes that quality at every turn.” \n-Robert Bush\, Troubadour \n***Please arrive early\, stop by the Friends of the Library table to receive your FREE ticket and take your place in line. First come. First served. No standing room available.***

Pre-concert Entertainment \n\n\nYoung musicians of the Young Lions Jazz Conservatory All-Stars will perform a pre-concert set of jazz music onstage beginning at 6:30pm. \n\n\nAbout Miles Davis’ Porgy and Bess \n\n\nFeaturing one of the “hippest” renderings of “Summertime” – one of the most familiar melodies in the Great American Songbook – the album is perhaps the greatest collaboration between the two\, and is credited for reversing the bebop aesthetic\, slowing down the chord shifts to allow the soloist to stay on one modality and invent his own melody and mood. The full track list of this iconic album includes “Buzzard Song\,” “Bess\, You Is My Woman Now\,” “Gone\,” “Gone\, Gone\, Gone\,” “Summertime\,” “Oh Bess\, Oh Where’s My Bess\,” “Prayer (Oh Doctor Jesus)\,” “Fisherman\, Strawberry and Devil Crab\,” “My Man’s Gone Now\,” “It Ain’t Necessarily So\,” “Here Come De Honey Man\,” “I Loves You\, Porgy\,” “There’s A Boat That’s Leaving Soon for New York\,” and “Gone (take 4).” Gilbert Castellanos and his 20-piece “Porgy and Bess” Orchestra play every track on a wonderful evening by the Bay.
