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…

LATE BREAKING NEWS:

In honor of the 90th Anniversary of the first jazz recording, the Roof Garden Jass Band's first CD, originally released in 1998, is now available for download on iTunes and other music download sites.  The complete CD is still available from www.danlevinson.com, if you want the whole thing (and why wouldn't you?).

Dan Levinson


Dan Levinson's Roof Garden Jass Band Concert on Monday, February 26 has been cancelled due to snow.

Sun 2/25/2007

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.


Dan Levinson

DAN 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.

Dan

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

 

 

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.
