Hi folks, I'm very excited to have the chance to perform with this outstanding jazz trio. They played a great set at the Zeitgeist back in October, and I'm looking forward to adding video to their music on Dec 1. http://www.911gallery.org/directions/directions.htm JAZZ CONCERT Sat Dec 1, 8pm $10 featuring Daniel Levin's Black Bear Trio: Rob Brown , alto sax; Daniel Levin, cello; Gary Fieldman, drums; Dr T, video mix with Alban Bailly's Duo: Alban Bailly, guitar; Heddy Boubaker, sax Daniel Levin was born in 1974 in Burlington, Vermont. He began playing the cello at age six, and studied classical music intensively through adolescence. During this period he attended the Walnut Hill School for the Arts, the Mannes College of Music, and the New England Conservatory of Music. A chance experience improvising with a dancer at the New Arts Festival in Fort Meyers, Florida in the summer of 1993 inspired him to alter his view of himself as a musician: not as an interpreter of the works of early European masters, but as a composer and improviser, who would create his own music, interpreting his experience of the world around him. Since then, he has had opportunities to work with many major improvisers and composers in the creative music world: Borah Bergman, Mark Dresser, Joe Morris, Rob Brown, Joe & Mat Maneri, Tim Berne, J.D. Parran, Warren Smith, Satoshi Takeishi, Joe McPhee, Joe Giardullo, Taylor Ho Bynum, Bhob Rainey, Tom Rainey, Roy Campbell, Frode Gjerstad, Sabir Mateen, Billy Bang, Jason Hwang, William Parker, and many others. Venues in which he has performed include The Vision Festival (NYC), The New Orleans Jazz Festival, JVC Jazz Festival (NYC), XM Satellite Radio, WGBH FM (Boston), The Knitting Factory, Tonic, CBGB's Gallery, The Brecht Forum, Cornelia Street Cafe, Barbes, Vision Club Series, and Roulette. Daniel has performed professionally in several other genres including: Klezmer music with Hankus Netsky, contemporary compositions for solo cello such as Joe Maneri's microtonal Sharafuddin bYah-Yah Maneri Makhdum Ul-Mulk, and large ensemble pieces, including Lou Harrison's Concerto for Violin, Piano, and Orchestra with the NYC-based Alarm Will Sound. <http://www.daniel-levin.com/>http://www.daniel-levin.com/ Alban Bailly's first adventure of music making began with rock in his native France. Music lessons with Eric Le Lann and Cesarius Alvim in Rennes opened him to jazz and free improvisation in the late nineties. Together with percussionist Loup Barraud, Alban formed Ghenso Project and the two traveled to Morocco to study Arabic music in 2001. Under the instruction of Marrakchi Master Mohammed El Quadi, Alban practiced classical guitar and oud. While attending Music Academy in Nancy, Alban came upon a world of free improvisation. Since 2002, he has collaborated and performed with Sebastien Coste, Camille Perrin, Louis-Michel Marion, Claire Cooper, Marit Schechte, Dominique Repecaud, Chris Heenan and many others. Performances at Musique Action festival, Theatre du Saulcy, MJC Lillebonne , France , Belgium and Germany . Newfound interest in gypsy jazz music, learned the gypsy music with gypsy local guitarists and founded the "Meri Wago" gypsy swing jazz trio. He continued his pursuit of eastern European music by playing traditional Balkan music in Novi Sad (Serbia). Alban landed in the USA in 2005 and now calls Philadelphia his home. He frequently performs with Jack Wright and plays actively with many musicians (Evan Lipson, Dave Smolen, John Berndt) and dancers (Nicole Bindler, Eun Jung Gonzales...) with the guitar or accordion. <http://www.albanbailly.com/>http://www.albanbailly.com/ -- " Practice makes perfect, imperfect is better." -- Paul Bley Emile Tobenfeld, Ph.
