The Vision Club Series 2006
THE RETURN OF CHARLES GAYLE / WILLIAM PARKER / RASHIED ALI
«To kick off the 2006 Vision Club Season, Arts for Art is proud to announce the return of BY ANY MEANS, a supergroup featuring Charles Gayle on saxophon
e, William Parker on bass and Rashied Ali on drums. One of the most explosive groups of the early 1990s, the group has not performed together in nearly a decade. They will appear for two performances only, in the afternoon of Sunday January 8th at the Clemente Velez Cultural Center at 107 Suffolk St.
BY ANY MEANS had its genesis in an FMP recording made on Halloween of 1991 entitled Touchin’ On Trane. The explosive record (allmusic.com calls it "The greatest John Coltrane tribute album") was released in 1993 and garnered high praise among critics and fans. It remains an impressive display of the virtuosity of all three musicians - a testament to the power of improvised music when played by
its greatest masters. For the next three years, the group performed frequently in New York and was in high demand in the European festival circuit. In 1994 the group played at George Wein’s usually conservative JVC Jazz festival at an outdoor performance at Damrosch Park (although, the group¹s set was cut tragically short when the impresario decided he was not in the mood for free music on that day).
The group’s final performances came in a European tour in April of 1996. While all three masters have gone on to lead their own acclaimed groups, the world has now been deprived of hearing the collective power of the three for nearly ten years. The Vision Club Series is proud to bring them back for this one-time-only event.
The concert will
mark the beginning of the 2006 season of the Vision Club Series - an ongoing series of intimate AvantJazz presentations which began in February of 2004. For the 2006 edition, Arts for Art, Inc. has decided to move the performances to Sunday afternoons in an attempt to encourage family involvement and a more relaxed community-oriented atmosphere centered around groundbreaking musical performances».
