SUMMARY:An Evening With Alejandro Escovedo
DESCRIPTION:Alejandro Escovedo’s New Album ECHO DANCING is an Adventure in Life! No one has really ever been able to define themselves and their music like singer-songwriter Alejandro Escovedo does. His life in music of all kinds sometimes feels like a swirl through the sky\, where his songs point out all the majesty and mystery of how he sees the world. The sounds he makes take him places that he might not even predict\, but once there\, greatness always follows. It’s just the way Escovedo is. It has happened over and over for decades\, almost like a fateful agreement he has with the cosmos. There is a good chance it cannot be explained\, especially by him. Maybe that’s because this is a musician who feels magic\, both in himself and the world around him\, and is open to the experience of whatever comes his way. It is not always easy\, and can have a high demand on how a person lives. But it is the way that Escovedo is always moving forward. Alejandro will be performing solo for this show.

DESCRIPTION:Charles Lloyd\, a National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master (2015) and honorary doctorate recipient from Berklee College of Music\, is widely regarded as playing at the height of his expressive powers. The depth of his sound reflects a lifetime in music\, guided by a forward-looking approach he describes simply as “Go forward.” Born in Memphis\, Tennessee\, Lloyd was shaped by a rich musical heritage and early influences including Charlie Parker\, Billie Holiday\, and Duke Ellington. He emerged as a leading voice in modern jazz\, from his work with Chico Hamilton and Cannonball Adderley to his own groundbreaking quartet.
