“CREATIVE DIFFERENCES” – 2007 JAZZ SERIES
featuring two very special Black History Month Celebrations!

Saturday, February 3, 8 and 10 pm
BASSDRUMBONE 30th ANNIVERSARY CONCERT
$20 / $18 students & seniors

Mark Helias (double bass)
Gerry Hemingway (drums)
Ray Anderson (trombone)

A trio with an unusual instrumentation and a unique sound. A true
collective, their music combines three distinct compositional and
improvisational approaches & an exceptional musical rapport. Over the 30
years they have played together they have developed an uncanny sense of
communication that allows for very free and disciplined collectivity
regardless of the compositional form being explored.

Saturday, February 10, 8:30 pm
JASON KAO HWANG/ EDGE
$18 / $15 students & seniors

Taylor Ho Bynum (cornet, flugelhorn)
Andrew Drury (drum kit)
Ken Filiano (string bass)
Jason Kao Hwang (violin)

Jason Kao Hwang is a composer, violinist and educator who has created
works ranging from jazz, classical, “new” and world music. Asian Improv
Records recently released EDGE, Mr. Hwang’s new jazz quartet. This amazing
group makes its Baltimore debut this evening.
“The four manage to meld their individual experiences into a group
that can swing hard, evoke the pentatonics and timbres of Asian music
traditions or blues edge and push toward freedom.” — Michael Rosenstein,
SIGNAL TO NOISE

Saturday, February 17, 8 & 10 pm
ETHNIC HERITAGE ENSEMBLE with FAREED HAQUE
$22/$18 students & seniors

Kahil El’Zabar (drums, earthdrums, kalimba, percussion)
Corey Wilkes (trumpet, flugelhorn, percussion)
Ernest Khabeer Dawkins (saxophones, percussion)
Fareed Haque (electric and acoustic guitars)

In celebration of Black History Month, the Ethnics return to Baltimore.
The Ethnic Heritage Ensemble was formed shortly after percussionist
Kahil El’Zabar graduated from the school of the Association for the
Advancement of Creative Musicians in 1976 specifically to play music that
combined contemporary African American musical styles, like jazz, with more
traditional African instrumentation and rhythms. The results are stirring
and highly infectious! For these concerts they will present music from the
new recording “Hot and Heavy”.
“With folkish simplicity and beguilingly subdued dynamics, The Ethnic
Heritage Ensemble-drums, guitar and two horns-achieves an effect something
like an ad hoc percussion band walking the second line, with a little James
Brown thrown in.” – DOWNBEAT

Wednesday, February 21, 8 & 9:30 pm
DAVID MURRAY (SAX) & LAFAYETTE GILCHRIST (PIANO)
$22/$18 seniors & students

This concert is a US exclusive in celebration of Black History Month.
The saxophone legend David Murray and the superb Baltimore pianist
Lafayette Gilchrist return to An die Musik for one night only! The last
time the duo appeared at this venue, they sold out three shows in one night
and were the pick of many reviewers for one of the year’s best concerts . .
. Advance booking is a must to guarantee seats!

Saturday, February 24, 8 & 10 pm
JOHN ABERCROMBIE (GUITAR) & MARC COPLAND (PIANO)
$22 / $18 students & seniors

The guitar hero and sublime pianist debut in Baltimore for two
exclusive performances. They have a vast history of collaborations and
appearances on stages and festivals throughout the world that would be the
envy of any musician!
Both Abercrombie and Copland are master jazz artists and an
inspiration to generations of musicians. Advance booking is strongly
advised!
