Subject: Dan Levinson Performance Schedule
Dear Friends,
Below is a brief reminder about some upcoming events. I will be sending out a more detailed list of my upcoming engagements through Labor Day sometime within the next week, but there are a couple of items I wanted to bring to your attention in the meantime.
First of all, this Thursday with Vince Giordano’s Nighthawks at Grand Harmony Palace has been CANCELED due to a private event the restaurant has scheduled for that evening. The band will be back the following week on the 28th, but *I* have a private event that night, and won’t be there. I will definitely be there on July 5th.
The other bit of news I wanted to let you know about that the sensational stride pianist from France, Olivier Lancelot, will be on this continent for two engagements, and I urge you to catch him - if you can. He’s one of the best.
He’ll be playing with my Palomar Quartet at the Hot Steamed Jazz Festival in Essex, CT this weekend - see Saturday, June 23, below - and he’ll making a guest appearance as pianist with Stan Rubin’s Jazz All Stars the following Monday - see June 25 below.
So here’s what’s going on, in chronological order…

Hello
Everyone,
Well...Mother
Nature has ordained that the 90th anniversary of jazz will have to wait.
They are predicting six inches of snow in the Morristown, New
Jersey area by tomorrow night. Flights
have been canceled - Jeff Barnhart, my pianist, is in Oregon and can’t
get a flight back until Tuesday morning.
On top of that, construction in the parking lot of the Bickford
Theatre will make parking difficult once the snow accumulates.
I
don’t like to cancel performances - I strongly believe that the show
must go on - but it seems to be the wisest option under the
circumstances. I apologize
to those of you who bought tickets and had planned to attend.
Your tickets will be honored at the rescheduled date.
I will be in touch with you all as soon as a new date is agreed on. Thank you for your understanding.

LEVINSON JANUARY-MARCH PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE
Hi
Folks,
Here’s
an update on the performance schedule I sent you last week.
Please refer to this one rather than last week’s, because dates
have been added, removed and changed.
The first date that’s been added is the Carnegie Club this
Tuesday. Also,
a reminder that I’ll be at Terra Blues on Wednesday with the Manhattan
Hot Club. Details for
both are below.
And
don’t forget, today and tonight are your last chances to catch “Three
Benny Opera” - a real clarinet extravaganza!
Wednesday night went very well, and I’m hoping today’s shows
will be even better. The
matinee is going to be a little different from the evening show, so
don’t be afraid to attend both.

***************************************************

I
organized the Roof Garden Jass Band in 1987 for my first public concert,
an event at NYU honoring the 70th anniversary of recorded jazz.
I spent months listening to the records of the Original Dixieland
Jazz Band - the band who made the first jazz recordings in 1917 - and
painstakingly wrote out note-for-note transcriptions for the band to play.
Over the years our repertoire has broadened, but we have faithfully
maintained a focus on early jazz. I
believe we are the only band in existence devoted exclusively to what we
like to call “rag-a-jazz.”
Twenty
years later the Roof Garden Jass Band is assembling for a one-time-only
spectacular event to honor the 90th anniversary
of the first jazz recordings. We’ll
be playing a ninety-minute set - one minute for each year in the history
of jazz - during which we’ll demonstrate how jazz has evolved over the
years by playing the same songs as they might be played today by a
traditional jazz band. I’ve
got some stellar musicians on board, so don’t miss this rare opportunity
to hear jazz - or JASS, as
it was known in 1917 - then…and now.

While
in Prague, I encountered a nice old-style jazz band playing on the Charles
Bridge (which opened in 1357, by the way).
I was supposed to be on vacation, and hadn’t planned to get out my
instrument, but, well, one thing led to another, and…you know…

On
January 17 and January 20 we’ll be celebrating the anniversary of Benny
Goodman’s landmark 1938 Carnegie Hall jazz concert with not one, not two, but THREE
clarinets: Joe Midiri, Dan Block
and myself. Each of us has led this
annual Goodman tribute in the past, but never have all three of us been together
on one stage. With the help of my
reed co-stars, I’ve written arrangements on some of Goodman’s biggest hits
as well as some lesser known gems that will feature the three clarinets in
harmony - so I promise you it won’t sound like a cat fight.
THESE CATS CAN SWING!

***************************************************

I organized the Roof Garden Jass Band in 1987 for my
first public concert, an event at NYU honoring the 70th anniversary of recorded
jazz. I spent months listening to
the records of the Original Dixieland Jazz Band - the band who made the first
jazz recordings in 1917 - and painstakingly wrote out note-for-note
transcriptions for the band to play.
Over the years our repertoire has broadened, but we have faithfully
maintained a focus on early jazz. I
believe we are the only band in existence devoted exclusively to what we like to
call “rag-a-jazz.”
Twenty years later the Roof Garden Jass Band is
assembling for a one-time-only spectacular event to honor the 90th anniversary
of the first jazz recordings. We’ll
be playing a ninety-minute set - one minute for each year in the history of jazz
- during which we’ll demonstrate how jazz has evolved over the years by
playing the same songs as they might be played today by a traditional jazz band.
I’ve got some stellar musicians on board, so don’t miss this rare
opportunity to hear jazz - or JASS, as it was known in 1917 - then…and
now.
