David Amram Quartet | "Back with Jack"The FALCON
1348 Route 9W
Marlboro, NY   See Map
"Back with Jack: a special presentation to celebrate the year of Kerouac's Centennial - with the David Amram Quartet, and narrated by Adira Amram reading excerpts from Jack Kerouac's "On the Road".

FEATURING ~
Adira Adira Amram / Narrator
David Amram / Leader, Vocals, Piano, Flutes, Percussion, French Horn.
Kevin Twigg / Drums, Glockenspiel
Rene Hart / Upright Bass
Adam Amram / Congas

www.davidamram.com

Amram, the Renaissance man of American Music, still refers to himself as a "promising young composer".

This performance is Amram's tribute to the influence of Jazz and Global music on author Jack Kerouac's writing style, as well as portraits of the great innovators such as Thelonius Monk, Charlie Parker, and Dizzy Gillespie long before most major journalists or authors appreciated these giants.

Amram was Kerouac's major musical collaborator and friend for 12 years, is playing concerts worldwide celebrating the enduring value of Kerouac's writing and the enduring spirit of the music that continues to inspire us today.

Since their first public jazz/poetry readings in NYC in 1957, Amram has continued to celebrate the spirit of inclusiveness and spontaneity in all the idioms which he and Kerouac cherished - jazz, Latin, world music, classical music festivals and his his symphonic and chamber music compositions.

"The Falcon is the kind of place where I first met Jack and so many other truly gifted people the mid 1950s
People felt welcome and there were no A-tables MUSIC was the star and reason why we all got together and felt at home.

These small places that were all across America, reflecting the communities and cultures of the innovators were the home of music that has endured and survived neglect and disrespect, the collapse of the music industry and become our ambassador world wide, showing our Beauty Part!

This tradition is why all musicians who have ever performed at the Falcon want to come back and why all who attend are grateful and enthusiastic that Tony Falco's dream of having all genres of music built to last has now become a reality.

it s always a joy to play there as well as to come and listen to others"

- David Amram - "a promising young composer"

Opening PS21’s 2022 summer season on June 3–4, the QDance Company’s “Re:INCARNATION” is a 2021 dance, music, fashion, and visual art creation that showcases the depth of ancient Yoruba philosophy, mixed with the current Nigerian youth culture and its pure and uncompromising joy. Ten young dancers and two musicians perform the cycle of life with explosive energy, marked by the urban chaos of the Nigerian mega-city, Lagos.

“Re:INCARNATION” pays homage to the wealth and profusion of Nigerian music, its Afro-beat roots being currently revisited by dancehall, hip-hop, and electro. This musical genre, introduced and popularized by Fela Kuti, was born of an explosive cocktail of jazz, soul, funk, and tra

Jeffery Broussard & The Creole CowboysThe FALCON
1348 Route 9W
Marlboro, NY   See Map
Jeffery Broussard is the real deal. Dedicated to preserving and promoting Creole culture and traditional Zydeco music, with passion and commitment...an energetic, toe tapping world of the American Roots Music called Zydeco.

"Jeffery Broussard has long been respected as one of the greatest accordion players to grace our Creole culture, and for that matter, the world." - Don Cravins, Sr., Mayor, Opelousas, LA, Zydeco Capital of the World

VIDEO: I'm Coming Home: https://youtu.be/NUF_iSpnlHs

http://creolecowboys.com/

Jeffery Broussard is one of the most influential accordionists and vocalists in modern Zydeco music and continues to be one of the genre’s most dynamic performers and innovators.

Born in Lafayette, LA, Jeffery’s music career started very early, playing drums in his father’s band, the renowned Delton Broussard & The Lawtell Playboys. Although he left school for farm work to help his parents, Jeffery would sneak in to the house, get his daddy’s accordion and teach himself to play. It was in his brother Clinton’s band, Clinton Broussard & The Zydeco Machines that Jeffery played in public for the first time.

It is possible that without the experience of struggle and hard times that he could not sing, play with emotion and soul. His range is seldom seen in Zydeco - traditional songs of the old masters to originals, singlenote and triple-note accordion to fiddle.

Whether he is playing a festival stage in front of thousands of dancers, a small theater of seated patrons, giving an interview, teaching a lesson or playing at a trailride, his warmth, love of the music, and talent shine. Jeffery Broussard is well, the real deal. Dedicated to preserving and promoting the Creole culture and traditional Zydeco music, Jeffery plays with passion and commitment to carry on his daddy’s legacy.

Still Married After All These Years!
with The Ed Palermo Big Band
The FALCON
1348 Route 9W
Marlboro, NY   See Map
The world's zaniest big band celebrates the wedding anniversary of their madcap, mischief-making leader, by re-forming the music of Zappa, Pink Floyd, Yes, King Crimson...with comic diversions, because they can't help it!.

"Wonderful, breathtaking, fantastic, exhilarating, great sound, great production, great musicianship...I run out of superlatives..." – paradoxone.uk

"[Ed Palermo]...one of the greatest musicians and arrangers in the world."
– Christian McBride, American jazz bassist, and six-time Grammy Award winner

"Palermo developed these charts during years of live shows with these musicians, and their mastery of the material shows in the performances, which turn on a dime yet feel fierce with spontaneous invention.... Palermo’s arrangements and these performances are precise, dedicated, raucous and incisive—just like Zappa himself." – JazzTimes

https://www.palermobigband.com/

This eighteen-piece ensemble - five woodwind players, four trumpeters, three trombonists, two keyboardists, guitar, violin, bass, drums, and vocalists throughout - has been performing jazz arrangements of Zappa’s music regularly since 1994. But what started out as faithfully antic versions of the composer’s complex, fiendishly clever music has expanded to reflect Palermo’s passion for Todd Rundgren, British psychedelia and progressive rock.

This often entails head-spinning in-jokes, such as performing Traffic’s 1971 tune “The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys” over Zappa’s bass line for his composition “Chunga’s Revenge.”

The Ed Palermo Big Band performs monthly at the Iridium in Manhattan and regularly at The Falcon in Marlboro, NY, where Palermo often scripts elaborate thematic evenings. At one such event, vocalist Napoleon Murphy Brock—a longtime Zappa vocalist who frequently works with Palermo—sang the line “I’m never getting married” (from Jimmy Webb’s “The Worst That Could Happen”) as Palermo stumbled onstage in prison stripes for an evening dedicated to his 34th wedding anniversary.

Most of Palermo’s humor, however, lies in the music’s richly textured citations and juxtapositions. The scores themselves are funny.

“I wouldn’t call my thing a comedy show,” he said, “but it’s got a lot of humor in it. I often think that jazz takes itself way too seriously. Maybe that makes my thing stand out a little more.”

"My favorite singer..." - Tony Bennett

“The most exciting young male singer on the scene…." - The Wall Street Journal

“… velvet-voiced jazz singer….” - Variety​

Ever since he burst on the jazz scene in the latter part of the twentieth century, The Brooklyn-born, Harlem-based vocalist/guitarist/bandleader/composer Allan Harris has reigned supreme as the most accomplished and exceptional singer of his generation.

With, “the warmth of Tony Bennett, the bite and rhythmic sense of Sinatra, and the sly elegance of Nat King Cole,” Harris’s artistry can be heard on his fourteen recordings as a leader and his critically-acclaimed concerts worldwide.

He has won numerous awards, and performed with Tony Bennett, Dionne Warwick, Diana Krall, Abbey Lincoln, Natalie Cole, comedian Alan King, Al Jarreau, Reverend Al Green, Lee Ritenour, Michael Feinstein, Cassandra Wilson, and Wynton Marsalis.

Back in Harlem, Harris is the jazz vocal King of New York, as evidenced by his notable engagements. “I’m a storyteller through the genre of jazz.”
