Suoni per il Popolo is proud to present Alex Harding and Lucian Ban for an intimate evening at Casa. With DARK BLUE (out on Sunnyside Records) the two musicians are celebrating their musical brotherhood with a unique amalgamation of original pieces and improvisations informed by traditions of jazz, blues, and European chamber music. From avant blues to spontaneous improv pieces, from original pieces to ballads that channel Sun Ra (Alex is a frequent collaborator with the famed Arkestra) , DARK BLUE represents a stunning document of two artists at their maturity, two old friends conversing in the language of modern jazz. Joined by the local trio of super duper luminaries Allison Burik: bass clarinet, François Zaïdan: buzuq and ben grossman: hurdy-gurdy! Sure to be one for the books!
