ECM New Series 2790/91 485 8495 The American pianist Keith Jarrett (b. 1945) is known primarily for his work in jazz, both as a solo artist (his Köln Concert album is the largest-selling solo jazz recording ever) and for his work in various ensembles, having led two famous quartets (one American, one European), a trio, as well as having played keyboard on noteworthy jazz recordings such as Charles Lloyd, Miles Davis, and Kenny Wheeler. However, he has also ventured into classical music, recording works by Bach, Barber, Bartok, Händel, Mozart, Pärt, and Shostakovich for the ECM New Series label.

Composer & Producer Emily WellsFestival Mozaic Presents Emily Wells, Thursday, July 21 at 9 PM.SLO Brew Rock855 Aerovista LaneSan Luis Obispo, CA 93401.Forging a bridge between pop and chamber music, composer, producer, and video artist Emily Wells builds songs from deliberate strata of vocals, synths, drums, piano, string and wind instruments.

Wells’s latest release, the ten-song album Regards to the End, explores the AIDS crisis, climate change, and her lived experience watching the world burn. A work of radical empathy, Regards to the End foregrounds the power of art, critique, and care to connect and perhaps redeem us.Tickets: $30 in advance / $35 at the door.For details, visit ici MozaicA Far Cry to Perform Free Concert at Naumburg BandshellGrammy-nominated, Boston-based orchestra A Far Cry will […]
