George Crotty Trio featuring
Brooklyn Maqam is an organization dedicated to presenting Middle Eastern (in particular, Arabic) music, with the goals of expanding its audience, preserving it as an art form, and building community centered around the music.
George Crotty has forged his own unique vocabulary on the cello. His compositions for cello, bass, and percussion draw on modal jazz, Arabic maqam, and Indian raga. This performance will also feature a suite by Palestinian cellist Naseem Alatrash entitled “Bright Colors on a Dark Canvas” that brings the Arabic style of cello into conversation with western classical and jazz genres.
Featuring:
George Crotty - cello
John Murchison - bass
Jeremy Smith - percussion
+ Gideon Forbes - winds
The George Crotty Trio makes music that is cinematic, pluralistic, and conversational. Known for an expressive fluidity and modal orientation, they draw on modal jazz, Indian raga, and Arabic maqam, all while pushing the boundaries of the cello as a jazz instrument.
7pm to 9:30pm
$20 Tickets
