3 By Twos Live in New Haven + Trumpet Blasts in NYC & Brooklyn

The Uncertainty Music Series continues this Saturday September 14 with a concert featuring 3 duos taking place at 8 p.m. in Never Ending Books, 810 State Street in New Haven.  Scheduled to perform are the Theremin & Lap Steel (composed of Scott Burland - theremin - and Frank Schultz - lap steel guitar), Arabian Blade (the duo featuring analog synthesizer performers Christopher Donofrio and Donovan Fazzino) plus the duo of cellist Daniel Levin (pictured left, photograph by Christopher Gannu) and drummer Juan Pablo Carletti.  Levin is fairly well-known around New Haven for his appearances at Firehouse 12 while Carletti works alongside the cellist in his trio featuring saxophonist Ivo Perelman and in alto saxophonist Rob Brown's Quartet.

Yes, I'm slow on the uptake as the 2013 Festival of New Trumpet (FONT) opened earlier this week in various venues around Manhattan and Brooklyn.  But, a click on the following link - fontmusic.org/about-the-festival/ - will reveal that there's lots more music to come over the next 12 days.  You can learn more about FONT from one of the Festival's organizers, Dave Douglas, by going to www.greenleafmusic.com and listening to Episode 11 of "A Noise From the Deep", the podcast Mr. Douglas co-hosts with bassist/composer Michael Bates. They interview trumpeter/educator/producer John McNeil, play excerpts from new and classic recordings (all featuring trumpeters, naturally) and do so in a lively fashion.
