avant-garde jazz at arts fifth avenue, 3.25.2007

tammy gomez posted this as a comment, but not evabody reads those, so i'm giving it its own entry here:

so, yep, no avant-garde jazz tonight by John Case and his tribe of musicians.

BUT---and, ever so but---there WILL MOS DEFINITELY be avant-jazz IN THIS CITY on Sunday, March 25th, 6-9pm,
at the intimate little cool spot for jazz, ARTS FIFTH AVENUE. this is a bene for "Peaceful Vocations" the all-volunteer org, local to the 817, which is trying to inform (just the facts, no arm twists) young students about their rights & options vis a vis MILITARY ENLISTMENT.

We're calling the event: MAKE ART, NOT WAR.

Guess who's performing? Okay, don't guess. Lemme tell you:
John Case (and annointed accompanying jazz players, as yet to be announced) AND
Dennis Gonzalez (as Yells at Eels, which includes sons on drums & bass).

This is thrilling, and yes this comment is becoming a column--sorry--, thrilling becuz
these 2 jazz-elders in the DFW have wanted to, but have NEVER BEFORE shared a bill together. I spoke to Mr. Case at Sardine's last night, and he says he is open to an improvisational moment w/ Gonzalez.
omigod. can you imagine...?

spread the word: 3/25/07 @ 6pm for $10 and a good cause.
