Legendary AACM tenor saxophonist Kalaparush and The Light play Chicago on March 2nd.
Then:
Friday, March 4 -- 7:30pm Schuler Books and Music 2660 28th Street Grand Rapids, Michigan (616) 942-9660
The performance is free and open to the public.
Kalaparush and The Light will also perform live on Blue Lake Public Radio, WBLV FM 90.3/WBLU FM 88.9, on Thursday, March 3rd at 10 p.m. in a program hosted by Lazaro Vega. Blue Lake serves all of Western Lower Michigan from the campus of Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp, the international summer school for the arts (www.bluelake.org).
Kalaparush was a founding member of Chicago's AACM (Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians) music collective. Often described as soulful and lyrical, Kalaparush's playing has been topic for nearly forty years since his historical appearance on Roscoe Mitchell's 1966 album, “Sound," the AACM's debut recording.
The Brooklyn based Kalaparush and The Light recorded their latest album, “Morning Song" (Delmark 553) while in town for their appearance at the 2003 Chicago Jazz Festival. The 2004 Penguin Guide to Jazz recently awarded the album 4-stars and declared, “...marvelous...a set in which blues, bebop, raw field shouts and more classical forms all seem to have contributed to an extraordinary musical alloy."
Kalaparush & The Light is Kalaparush Maurice McIntyre (tenor saxophone), Jesse Dulman (tuba), Ravish Momin (drums, percussion). Neither of Kalaparush's cohorts was yet born when Kalaparush was making history in the mid 1960s -- Momin born in 1973 and Dulman in 1981.
