January,
2007 saw the birth of The Brooklyn Jazz Underground, a collective conceived in
the spirit of an entrepreneurial, do-it-yourself movement in the current music
industry, and the emergence of myriad independent artists and record labels, spawning
a creative boom which counts Brooklyn as one of its bastions of innovation and
artistry.
The Brooklyn
Jazz Underground, Tammy Scheffer (voice), Adam Kolker (saxophone, woodwinds),
Dave Smith (trumpet), Anne Mette Iversen (bass), Rob Garcia, Owen Howard
(drums) & Dave Cook (piano), an uber-creative group contributing mightily
to the vibrancy of the jazz and improvised music scene in Brooklyn and beyond,
proudly announces The 10th Annual Brooklyn Jazz Underground Festival, to take
place at Smalls in Greenwich Village on August 17, and Shapeshifter Lab in the
Gowanus section of Brooklyn on August 18.
The Festival will feature BJU members leading their ensembles in
performances of original music, much of it comprised of new works.
