Tuesday April 27th
Adam Rudolph and Ralph Jones
YeYi: Adam Rudolph – Ralph “Buzzy” Jones Duet, a wordless psalm of prototypical vibrations
Adam Rudolph is a world-renowned hand percussionist. Ralph “Buzzy” Jones is a saxophonist and flutist of the first order. They have been performing as a duo for a long time, but this is a rare Midwest tour.
We have tentatively planned a workshop (# of RSVPs depending…) with Adam and Buzzy that would run from 5:30 – 6:30 PM the day of the concert. Please RSVP if you would like to attend the workshop. A donation of $10-20 is suggested but not required. Read the bottom of this post for some idea about Adam’s workshop approach.

A performance by the Yellowjackets—purveyors of innovative, eclectic jazz for nearly three decades—is an experience that has as much to do with sight as it does sound. Any given performance on any given night by this seasoned quartet brings with it a degree of spontaneity and expression—on an individual as well as collective level—that can be best appreciated by seeing these four highly skilled musicians in front of a live audience.

Poncho Sanchez, legendary conguero (conga player)
Poncho Sanchez learned from the masters. As a youngster, he played alongside Cal Tjader, Claire Fisher, and Mongo Santamaria. Now as a bandleader for almost two decades, he has unswervingly preserved a bedrock style of Afro-Cuban Latin jazz pioneered half a century ago by his heroes, while infusing it with his own fresh and engaging interpretations.
