Step right into Hamden’s very own monthly jazz club…
Please join BVFCC and host Allen Lowe for our monthly jazz night with Allen Lowe & The All-Stars on Wednesday, August 20th at 7pm. There will be a coterie of musical guests assembled by our host each month in a relaxed setting with tables and chairs to truly sit back, relax, and enjoy the great vibe. Of course, the BVCoffee Bar will be open for beer, wine, and café drinks. Cover charge is $10.
“This fall, the jazz composer, saxophonist, and music historian Allen Lowe released what I consider to be his magnum opus, a four-cd set containing 69 tracks exploring almost every musical element and style that could be subsumed under the expansive rubric of "jazz." One can hear elements of blues, R&B, bop, funk, rock, punk, avant guard, and much more, all beautifully composed and magnificently played (by Lowe himself and his colleagues).
I've been digesting this music slowly, gradually, and repeatedly, and it just sounds better with each listen.It's Allen's unequaled grasp of the entire history of American music that emerges in such idiosyncratic and creatively beautiful ways throughout this collection. I can't think of anyone else who could have pulled off such a remarkably ambitious undertaking. He is a genius, without question." -Professor Jon Karp, SUNY Binghamton
