Alexis is an award-winning jazz bassist and composer originally from Barcelona who has been a Brooklyn resident for the last 12 years. For this special occasion, and with the support of a fabulous 10-piece band made of Park Slope Food Coop member-musicians, he’ll present a selection of pieces from the electric Miles Davis repertoire, bringing the jazz-funk to the Good Coffeehouse. Not to be missed!

 

Janine Nichols and SEMI-FREE

Opening up straight-ahead songwriting forms to make room for the emotional power of free jazz, SEMI-FREE is the loose-limbed trio of guitarist Brandon Ross (Harriet Tubman: the band, Cassandra Wilson, Henry Threadgill, Lizz Wright), violinist Charlie Burnham (Steven Bernstein’s MTO, James Blood Ulmer, Cassandra Wilson, Medeski Martin & Wood) and singer/writer/rhythm guitarist Janine Nichols, whose “idiosyncratic sense of space and time elevates everything she sings” (David Greenberger, Metroland).
