Hi local NYC shakuhachi people, One of my students is performing in the show below (not on shakuhachi but his main ax). Looks like an amazing group of players. I'll be at the Friday 9pm show. Anyone want to meet up? This is probably my only chance to get together for the holidays as I'll be out of town from Dec 21th. Contact me off list. Hope to see you there!

Raging Waters, Red Sands. The water god, in anger, cuts a hole in the sky. The sky opens. Rain pours out like a river, submerging the earth, allotting one man the fate to choose between saving his villagers from the flooding waters or being loyal to his wife and yet unborn son.
Notions of love, existence, and universal versus personal obligation are tested in this modern myth based on an ancient narrative form called “Shuo-chang,” literally meaning “speak-sing” in Mandarin Chinese. The narrative mixes Portuguese, Tetum, English, Taiwanese, and Mandarin interchangeably with the sound and space of voice (Jen Shyu, composer), dance (Satoshi Haga, choreographer), viola (Mat Maneri), clarinet (Ivan Barenboim), vibraphone (Chris Dingman), and percussion (Satoshi Takeishi), poetry by Patrícia Magalhães. Commissioned by the Jazz Gallery with support from the Jerome Foundation.
