SUMMARY:Reut Regev's R*time-POSTPONED
DESCRIPTION:PNC Arts Alive presents “Jazz Cultural Voices.”  The Philadelphia Clef Club of Jazz & Performing Arts has received this very prestigious grant award.  Just over 30 organizations in the Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey region were selected for bold thinking around increasing arts access and engagement and “Jazz Cultural Voices” was one. \nIsraeli born and raised trombonist Reut Regev has been out in the New York scene creating and exploring music for over 20 years. Reut enjoys playing with some of the most influential experimental composers\, New York style bands blending styles and cultures\, and traditional sounds as well. Reut’s typical year includes some free improvisation\, contemporary compositions\, blues\, klezmer\, latin music\, straight ahead jazz\, and everything in between. She has recorded and toured with Anthony Braxton\, Butch Morris\, Elliott Sharp\, Burton Greene\, Hazmat Modine\, Metropolitan Klezmer\, Joe Battan\, and many more. \nDan Blacksberg’s Name of the Sea concert \nFrom the landmark experimental music venue Roulette to the Krakow Jewish Culture Festival\, Philadelphia-native Dan Blacksberg has created a singular musical voice as a trombonist\, composer\, and educator. Acknowledged as the foremost practitioner of klezmer trombone in its traditional and modern forms and a respected voice in experimental music\, Dan is known for a formidable virtuosity and extreme versatility. This has led to performances with artists such klezmer masters Elaine Hoffman Watts\, Adrienne Cooper\, Michael Winograd and Frank London to experimentalists like George Lewis\, Anthony Braxton\, Marshall Allen\, and extreme doom metal band The Body\, to being a featured jazz soloist with the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia.

SUMMARY:Odean Pope's Saxophone Choir feat. Pharoah Sanders-POSTPONED
DESCRIPTION:ODEAN POPE’S SAXOPHONE CHOIR \nAn abundance of musical pleasure awaits you as jazz giant Odean Pope’s Saxophone Choir featuring Pharaoh Sanders and James Carter\, commands the Clef Club stage\, on April 24 and 25\, 2020.  The Saxophone Choir is formatted with nine saxophones and it “reaches a stunning intensity that is simultaneously one voice and is also as described by The Village Voice jazz critic\, Francis Davis as ‘harmonically engorged.’” The choir is the realization of Pope’s southern legacy; a medium for creating the richly textured harmonic sound that has permeated his musical soul since childhood. This two-day \, 4 show event will be extraordinary.  \nODEAN POPE\, performer\, composer and arranger has  received many awards and recognitions including the Mid Atlantic Living Legacy Award (2017)\, The Pew Fellowship in the Arts for Music Composition (1992)\, The Rockefeller Foundation (1992) several from the Chamber Music of America among others. \nOdean was a member of the Max Roach Quartet for more than two decades. Played tenor sax and perfected the techniques of circular breathing and multiphonics\, which when combined allow him to perform his renowned solo improvisations that range from “dazzling elevations to the throbbing\, husky sounds…to all kinds of delicacy in getting from one to the other.” \n  \nPHARAOH SANDERS\, NEA Jazz Masters Fellowship (2016) Released more than 30 albums as a leader \n\nThe creation of the 30-minute free jazz “The Creator Has A Master Plan” in the 1970.This piece was reissued as “The Creator Has A Master plan (Trip Hop Remix) in 1994 and was a bonus track on the album Stolen Moments: Red Hot + Cool\, which was named “Album of the Year” by Time magazine\n\n  \nJAMES CARTER\, prominent on the jazz scene since the late 1980s\, plays saxophones\, flute and clarinets. He learned to play tenor saxophone under the tutelage of well-known Philadelphian Donald Washington and became of member of Washington’s youth jazz ensemble Bird-Trane-Sco-NOW!!  Washington also taught Grover Washington\, Jr.\, and George Howard. \nCarter’s Musical Highlights \n\nWon Critics and Reader Choice award for baritone saxophone from Down Beat magazine several years in a row\nPerformed\, toured and played in albums with Lester Bowie\, Julius Hemphill\, Frank Lowe & the Saxemble\, Kathleen Battle\, the World Saxopone Quartet\, Cyrus Chestnut\, Wynton Marsalis\, Dee Dee Bridgewater\, and the Mingus Big Band
