HUDSON VIEW GARDENS PERFORMING ARTS GROUP PRESENTS “SUNDAYS AT 5"...on Sunday, September 19 at 5 pm
BILLY LESTER
performs a rare solo jazz piano concert!
at Hudson View Gardens
116 Pinehurst Ave./corner of 183rd.
(just Take The “A" Train - as they say - to 181st Street. It's right off the Hudson River!)
Reservations: 212-923-7800 x1555
*Suggested Donation: $12
Presented and hosted by:
Laurence Donohue-Greene (Managing Editor, AllAboutJazz-New York)
Billy Lester's most recent recording - Four Into Four (Coppens) - was selected as one of Cadence Magazine's Editor Choices of 2003 for “Best Recording of the Year" and received a 4-star review in Downbeat's November 2003 issue.
“A quietly commanding presence, Lester is remarkably capable of refashioning ultrafamiliar repertoire into music strikingly his own." - Howard Mandel, Jazz Journalist Association (JJA) president
“Disguised chord sequences, plain-speaking rhythm sections and labyrinthine investigations of a particular structure has become integral within his style.A very interesting discovery." - Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD
“.music with real character, spiky and tangential in a period when more and more jazz piano sounds like background music." -Stuart Broomer from Cadence Magazine, also Editor of CODA Magazine
“Artists newly discovered by me who possess the talent and technique to impress immediately are a definite plus to this business of writing. Lester falls into this category. (he) warrants attention through his divergent approach to the instrument." -Frank Rubolino, jazz reviewer and contributor to Cadence Magazine and renowned jazz websites AllAboutJazz and One Final Note
ALSO, looking forward, DON'T MISS...
