Arts for Art at El Taller

Arts for Art at El Taller
Arts for Art Returns to El Taller in East Harlem
October 11-13, 2019
 
For the 4th consecutive year, Arts for Art partners with El Taller Latino Americano to present a program of creative music in East Harlem.  This series serves to amplify both organizations’ missions by assembling a diverse group of artists and audiences as part of a continued effort to bridge East Harlem and the Lower East Side. To fulfill this goal, the programming emphasizes African-American and Latinx artists working within the free tradition of improvised music. 
 
Artists selected for this series take particular care in combining disparate approaches to music making, employing improvisation, composition, traditional and novel systems to create a unique sound.  Such inclusive approaches are representative of the best America has to offer, and a lens through which we can identify ourselves and learn to extend empathy and embrace tolerance in troubling times.  El Taller offers the perfect communal atmosphere to gather in the creative spirit of these performances.
 
Among the artists performing include:
 
Violist Melanie Dyer, known for extending the tradition of the Afro-Atlantic string band, will appear with an intergenerational trio of female musicians including bassist Shayna Dulberger and multi-instrumentalist polymath Kali Z. Fasteau.  
 
Multi-instrumentalist Joe McPhee, known for his uncompromising approach to free improvisation throughout his long iconoclastic career, will appear in duo with longtime collaborator Jay Rosen. 
 
Saxophonist Tony Malaby will be joined by his hardworking quartet of Leo Genovese, William Parker, and Billy Mintz.  While Malaby has been known to draw explicit connections to his Mexican heritage, expect a different sort of homage with a freely improvised set illustrating musical universality.
 
Nuyorican poet Papoleto Melendez, who lives in the PS109 building housing El Taller, will also make his annual appearance.
 
Also performing are pianist Angelica Sanchez, saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock in two ensembles, and pianist Aruan Ortiz.
 
Tickets are $20 and can be purchased online at afaeltaller.brownpapertickets.com or at the door

 About Arts for Art
 
Founded in 1996, Arts For Art (AFA) is a New York City based tax-exempt organization dedicated to the promotion and advancement of FreeJazz - an American indigenous art form in which improvisation is principle. FreeJazz embodies music, dance, poetry, and visual arts. It is recognized for its variety of highly developed and personalized improvisational languages. AFA works not only to preserve the legacy of FreeJazz, but also to ensure a vital future through its re-imagination by new generations of artists. Spearheaded by the internationally renowned Vision Festival, AFA's programming brings together multiple generations of vibrant, diverse and highly skilled artists. To further our goals of diversity and accessibility, we foster education initiatives and produce events that build community amongst artists and audiences.
