If Adam Levy’s guitar playing sounds more familiar than his name, it’s because you’ve likely already heard him. Levy has been featured on releases by Norah Jones, Ani DiFranco, Amos Lee, Meshell Ndegeocello, Jill Sobule, Tracy Chapman, Allen Toussaint, Vulfpeck, and many other artists.
He has a dozen original recordings to his credit as well—including three with his trio the Mint Imperials. These gentle giants dive deep into Levy’s songbook—and they never walk away from the blues.
Featuring:
Adam Levy / Guitar/Vocals
Andy Hess / Bass
Tony Mason / Drums

Adam Levy's former "day job" was playing guitar in Norah Jones' band; featured on her first three albums. He toured the world as a member of her Handsome Band. Levy's own music holds some similarities to Jones's laid-back stories that swirl together in jazz, blues, and country shadings.
Levy’s CD 'Washing Day' drew this praise in Offbeat magazine:
"Even the thorniest jazzbo snobs can recognize Levy’s potential to pen material for the next Great American Songbook.”
No Depression said of Levy’s follow-up album:
"Levy stated that 'The Heart Collector' would be his proving ground, but there really isn't anything to prove when you're this good and have always been this good. 'The Heart Collector' has only confirmed, reaffirmed and validated that Levy is one of the best songwriters and musicians in the business. It is a great album overflowing with warm and soulful songs that enchant the ears and captivate the heart.”
Beyond continuing his recording career as a sideman for celebrated artists such as Ani DiFranco and the late Cuban guitar master Manuel Galbán, Levy has risen as a songwriter in his own right. He was mentored by, and performed often with, dear friend and internationally respected master of the blues, Bill Sims Jr. (1949-2019). |

10:30 pm | Ciaran MacGowan
Singer-Songwriter, Folk/Traditional, and Irish (traditional) | Hootenanny Cafe Mini Concerts
Online and on the radio, NY See Map |
 Ciaran is from Belfast, N. Ireland. He has opened for Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Arlo Guthrie and quite a few more. His compositions and fabulous voice embrace Folk, Bossa, Jazz, Rock and Blues.
Before moving to USA Ciaran played a Belfast pub with an eight piece band including horns. Gerry McIlduff (Pretenders) on drums, Nicky Scott (Van Morrison) on bass, Julian Littman (Gerry Rafferty Band) on guitar. He recorded for BBC and his first record was play-listed on national radio. He was twenty-five.
Those were dangerous times in the N. Ireland conflict. The IRA blew the pub up! Months later with the venue rebuilt, the band was back, but three weeks later they blew it up again! Ciarán says, ‘they definitely didn’t like my music!’
Such is life with its many twists and turns! He jumped ship to California and today, thirty years later, Ciaran is successful as a photographer for EMI, Sony & Polygram in L.A. and as a musician playing both USA & Ireland. |

John Street & Crown Street
Kingston, NY See Map |
 The Rhythm Method is a wild ride through the interpretation of jazz music, a sort of, ‘Duja Vey’ (the feeling that none of this ever happened before).
This eccentric jazz quartet takes the very best in classic jazz and originals, and twists and bends them into what they call ‘jazz unstandards’. In this ‘quartetto virtuosi’, nothing is sacred.....improv is rampant...lyrics are changed at will...notes and chords are bent and perverted...familiar languages are obliterated....harmonies are sweet and sour perfection, and yet, serious, sophisticated and uncompromising in execution. The is one in-tune, out-of-tune, offbeat outfit.

"A dream team of forward-leaning hard-bop" - Nate Chinen, The New York Times
http://www.thecookersmusic.com/
Experience counts, especially in jazz. The more time musicians spend interpreting tunes and interacting with others, the more articulation an audience can expect. You can hear the fruits of such work in the expressive language The Cookers bring to the bandstand and to their three critically acclaimed recordings, Warriors, Cast the First Stone and Believe. This exciting new all-star septet summons up an aggressive mid ‘60s spirit with a potent collection of expansive post-bop originals marked by all the requisite killer instincts and pyrotechnic playing expected of some of the heaviest hitters on the scene today.
Billy Harper, Cecil McBee, George Cables, Eddie Henderson, and Billy Hart all came up in the heady era of the mid ‘60s - a period that found the dimensions of hard bop morphing from their original designs, and each of these guys helped facilitate the process as members of some of the most important bands of the era.
Hart and Henderson were members of Herbie Hancock’s groundbreaking Mwandishi group; Cecil McBee anchored Charles Lloyd’s great ’60s quartet alongside Keith Jarrett and Jack DeJohnette; Billy Harper was part of Lee Morgan’s last group, as well as being a member of Max Roach’s Quartet and Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers; while George Cables held down the piano chair in numerous bands including groups led by Sonny Rollins, Joe Henderson, Freddie Hubbard, Dexter Gordon and Art Pepper. David Weiss,, from a more recent generation and the youngest member of the band, is an expert in this forthright lingo, having gained experience performing with Bobby Hutcherson and Freddie Hubbard, among others.
Each member of the Cookers has spent time leading his own series of groups as well, and
each has a keenly individual sound. But it’s the unmistakable power of teamwork that makes this music so commanding and resonates with a kind of depth and beauty that speaks of the seasoned track record of its principals; combined, the group has over 250 years of experience in the jazz world and has been a part of over 1,000 recordings.
