Marlboro, NY See Map |
 The Mahavishnu Project plays the Music of Jeff Beck! And will present Jan Hammer tunes, as well, from the 1970s masterpieces, Blow By Blow, Wired and There & Back (don’t be surprised if a Mahavishnu Orchestra blast from Birds of Fire is included!)
The Mahavishnu Orchestra blazed out of the left field at the beginning of the 70s with something very new: jazz-rock fusion. They had a foot in both camps but belonged to neither. Rock audiences, already educated in the far-out by Jimi Hendrix, latched on to their complex musical explorations which took the burgeoning cult of instrumental virtuosity and raised the bar to a vertigo-inducing higher level. - Mick Wall / Classic Rock

Mahavishnu Project
https://www.mahavishnuproject.com/
After several years on hiatus, The Mahavishnu Project returns to perform their interpretations of the classic music of "guitar god" Jeff Beck.
Well-known for reaching into jazz-rock beyond the John McLaughlin-led originals to include songs of Jeff Beck, featuring guitar virtuoso - Beck music authority and Beck’s transcriptionist of choice - Jesse Gress (Todd Rundgren), with Neil Alexander (keys, The Machine) and Zoe Zeeman (bass, Jerry Marotta Band) with drummer and bandleader Gregg Bendian - well-known for his work with Todd Rundgren, Pat Metheny, Nels Cline, Ornette Coleman and John Zorn.
The Mahavishnu Project was founded by Bendian in 2001, during a time when far less respect and attention was being paid to “classic jazz-rock fusion".
The band has remained the only ensemble to have the blessing, praise, and gratitude of every original Mahavishnu Orchestra members, including founder, guitarist and composer John McLaughlin.
“Just a little note of appreciation for what you are bringing back to life. This musical period was the beginning of finding my own way in music, and to hear you guys playing those tunes in such an unbelievable way is quite amazing. Great job! Keep up the good work.” - John McLaughlin
"What is primary to me is that they are all great musicians. Everyone has to be a good improviser. You have to be able to take them to another place... These guys get there." - Jan Hammer

Bernard Purdie
https://www.bernardprettypurdie.com/
Which musician did Aretha Franklin definitely NOT want missing from the line-up when she recorded her most inspired albums at the beginning of the seventies. Who provided the back-beat for Steely Dan's "Aja", and for whom have Isaac Hayes, Donny Hathaway, B.B. King, "Sweet" Lou Donaldson, Joe Cocker and Hank Crawford reserved that stool behind the drum kit? The list is incomplete; it must be, because no other drummer in the last three decades has seen the interior of a recording studio as often as Bernard "Pretty" Purdie. A native of Elkton, Maryland - Purdie has laid down the beat on over 3000 albums to date.
The legendary drummer's style is described as the "funkiest soul beat" in the business. Purdie has never limited his talents, but has consistently sought out new musical experiences, anchoring sessions with the Rolling Stones, James Brown and Tom Jones with equal ease. "DRIVE" and "GROOVE" are definitely not missing from his vocabulary.

Little Big II: Dreams Of A Mechanical Man (2020) : https://aaronparksmusic.bandcamp.com/.../little-big-ii...
Aaron Parks
https://www.aaronparks.com/
https://aaronparksmusic.bandcamp.com/album/little-big
Aaron Parks, acclaimed pianist, keyboardist and composer, is a forward-thinking jazz musician who came to the public's attention during his time with trumpeter Terence Blanchard.
When Parks released "Aaron Parks Little Big" (2018) it was at once the culmination of his brilliant early career and the long-awaited follow-up to his Blue Note Records debut, Invisible Cinema - with its gorgeously melodic writing and improvising and deft use of indie-rock, electronica and hip-hop elements - established Parks as one of the most gifted and original young voices in jazz.
Little Big is the intuitive working group that gave the album its title (and which takes its name from a fantastical novel by John Crowley—a favorite book of Parks and, the pianist notes, Wayne Shorter).
Dreams of a Mechanical Man (2020) is Little Big’s second release on Ropeadope Records, recorded after more than two years of touring for Parks, guitarist Greg Tuohey, bassist David “DJ” Ginyard, and drummer Tommy Crane. One primary distinction of this new album, according to Parks, is that “today, the band operates as a single organism. The first record was about the tunes and the aesthetic. This album keeps that focus and also captures the chemistry we’ve developed on the road, the way this band feels as it makes music in the moment.” |

 A baby girl was born to parents who loved music. The story goes that she started singing before she could talk.
She wrote her first song on piano when she was seven and kept on writing.
Along the way she picked up other instruments, enjoying the variety of sounds they made.
When she grew up she sang in coffee houses, festival, colleges and she even sang at a world’s fair.
As the years went on, she recorded 6 full- length albums.
She has said, “a song doesn’t seem finished to me until it’s shared with others.”
She has so enjoyed these words and more written about her music: Beth is a real musician. She writes songs with melodic interest, and she plays a number of instruments very well. (We heard her on guitar, piano and accordion!) She has a a quiet intensity which I found captivating. Variety was the spice of the evening —Les Gerber, The Woodstock Times
