Bach Dynamite and Dancing Society Presents Pianist Larry Vuckovich’s All-Star Bay-Area Sextet
Sun. March 24th @ 4:30pm - 7:00pm
$45
World Music Jazz Mix: Swinging Bebop, Afro-Cuban Salsa + Boleros, Balkan Ethnic Middle Eastern and Bluesy Funky Sounds.
Pianist Larry Vuckovich brings an all-star Bay-Area sextet presenting a melodic and joyous repertoire including marimba, guitar and percussion. Vuckovich has won acclaim for his deeply imaginative style and varied repertoire. He was among the first to fuse the Balkan ethnic Gypsy-Roma elements with American Jazz. His landmark release of his LP, Blue Balkan featuring Bobby Hutcherson and Eric Golub, set him apart from the mainstream. He is as equally at home in world music/classically influenced modal jazz as he is in hard-swinging bebop, post-bop, contemporary jazz, and the blues. Vuckovich has been fortunate to have played, toured, and recorded with Dexter Gordon, Philly Joe Jones, Jon Hendricks, Mel Torme, Tony Bennett, and more.
Larry Vuckovich – Piano; Tommy Kesecker – Marimbas; Kai Lyons – Guitar; Hector Lugo – Percussion; John Wiitala –Bass; Akira Tana-Drums
