9th November 2014: Bobby Avey w/ Euro tour of ‘Authority Melts From Me’ w/ Miguel Zenon, Ben Monder, Michael Janisch and Jordan Perlson DEC 2014

Authority Melts from Me  (released earlier this year) is the fascinating new album from Bobby Avey, praised by the New Yorker magazine as “A young pianist of invention and refinement.” Winner of the 2011 Thelonious Monk Competition for composition, Avey also received the 2011 “New Jazz Works: Commissioning and Ensemble Development Grant” from Chamber Music America, which enabled Avey to travel to Haiti to record a Vodou Ceremony in the small village of Soukri and subsequently create an hour-long suite grounded in rhythms found in Haitian Vodou drumming. Bobby will be performing in Europe in less than a month with Miguel Zenón, Ben Monder, Michael Janisch, and Jordan Perlson. Check the flyer below.
