the Falcon
1348 Rte 9w
Marlboro, NY   See Map
Join us for some tasty soul-jazz and brunch at the Falcon in Marlboro!! Jb (Hammond Organ) toured for over 6 years with Grammy nominated singer Shemekia Copeland. With musical prodigies Lee Falco on drums/vocals and Myles Mancuso on guitar/vocals.

Both traditional and trailblazing...Highly recommended. ***Blues Review Magazine***

Baum's playing has a deep funk to it, with a big influence of Jimmy Smith. And Baum also brings in all kinds of other things as well - dissonant jazz, alternative rock, R&B. He's not too far off from what John Medeski does with Medeski, Martin and Wood, but with more of a blues streak to it. ***Jim Trageser. Escondido, Calif. ***

Rick Gottlieb is an acoustic musician who has played guitar for more than 40 years. Rick's music is greatly influenced by some of his favorite singer/songwriters like James Taylor, David Wilcox, Susan Werner and Jackson Browne.

Celebrating the CD Release
with Iris Ornig (bass), Adam Larson (sax), Yotam Silberstein (guitar), Ronen Itzik (drums)
Jazz
BeanRunner Cafe
201 S. Division Street @ Esther
Peekskill, NY   See Map
Bassist/composer Iris Ornig is one of the most original female voices on today's New York jazz scene. Since her arrival in New York in 2003 from Germany, she has played with an impressive roster of some of the most influential contemporary jazz musicians in New York. Ornig's approach to jazz is straightforward, combining inventive wistful melodies. Her music is powdery soft and loaded with fresh energy and cat-like exuberance. Ornig has a spiritual sensibility and her pulse-like bass drives home shrewd originals and cagey hypnotic harmonies.

Applauded for its fresh, of the moment compositions, "No Restrictions" opens with 'Autumn Kiss', which evokes the color and breath of autumn; the album title 'No Restrictions'' explores Brazilian music mixed with the more straightforward American-European jazz traditions; and the last song on the album is 'Uptight,' composed with bluesy jazz notes to describe the tempo of desire.

His songs are based on personal experiences, family stories, social commentary and world affairs, ranging from serious to sentimental and sarcastic to silly, from world peace to seasickness. Teumim’s musical stylings are influenced by everything he ever heard, and include folk, rock, blues, Celtic and other genres, but not necessarily all at the same time. He released his first CD of original material, All Over the Map, in March 2011.

12 North Division Street
Peekskill, NY   See Map
People who know Mishti are in awe of her talent. To those who've never seen her perform, take our advice: You should.

Mishti's music has been described as "coasting between a bottom-heavy Zeppelin Rock, Blues-infused grooves, Thelonius Monk-inspired guitar work, and a Nina Simone-style wail-to-whisper." Always looking to cultivate a connection with her audience, she strives to create an experience that grabs listeners both emotionally, and "by the balls". Mishti is joined tonight by special guest, Josh Dion on vocals/drums/keys (and who-knows-what-else!). Josh has been on the NYC music scene for nearly a decade, performing Blues, Funk, Jazz & Rock with passion and energy. He's shared the stage with industry greats like Buddy Guy, Spyro Gyra, Los Lonely Boys and others. This is gonna be one of the great ones, folks!
