The In Side Out Pack
Let me start by saying that I am particularly pleased to be able to offer RISE listeners this exceptional thank you gift. I have played some of her older material on RISE and the considerable musical talents that Michele Rosewoman brings to bear are truly awe inspiring. She, of course, is always moving foward musically and her first CD release in several years just came out this month. It has been described as where she is musically at right NOW.
We are offering The In Side Out to our listeners WITH a pair of tickets to see her live at the Jazz Bakery all for just a $50 pledge. The tickets are for the 9:30p show on Thursday night (10.26.06), the only performance she will be doing in L.A. The tickets alone would cost you $50, but you will also be receiving her CD. This is a very special hook up and special thanks are due to Jerry Ough, Mitchell Feldman, Ruth Price of the Jazz Bakery, and Michele Rosewoman herself.
We only have 5 of these packs available so pledge now either via KPFK.org or by calling 818.985.5735. You'll find more info about the CD and the performance below. Click on the CD cover to find audio clips and an extensive and very interesting bio on Michele Rosewoman.
With the October 3, 2006 release of The In Side Out (Advance Dance Disques AD 0353) -- Michele Rosewoman�s first new recording since 2000 and the fifth featuring her ensemble Quintessence � the acclaimed pianist once again makes a powerful creative statement that showcases the breadth and depth or her musicality and affirms in no uncertain terms her position as one of the most original and innovative instrumentalists and composers on the current global jazz scene. Ms. Rosewoman is heard here with a core ensemble featuring the powerful front line of saxophonists Mark Shim and Miguel Zenon augmented by special guests Dave Fiuczynski on guitar, Josh Roseman on trombone and Pedro Martinez on percussion. Self-produced, The In Side Out is undoubtedly Rosewoman�s most multi-faceted recording to date, morphing from acoustic modern jazz to sophisticated funk to dynamic electric fusion to ecstatic Afro Cuban jazz. As on her previous recordings for Soul Note, Enja, Evidence, Toshiba/EMI and Blue Note, Rosewoman expands jazz�s horizons while remaining firmly rooted in the music�s illustrious tradition. In fact, the new release represents the beginning of an exciting new chapter in the 20-year history of this highly acclaimed ensemble.
