Michael Sarian & The Chabones + Sandra Small & the Smallworld Band + David Luther + Billy Woodward @ The Way Station

8pm- Michael Sarian and The Chabones
Genre: World Jazz
For fans of: Guillermo Klein, Christian Scott, RH Factor

“Perhaps Sarian’s disposition to innovate - an inherent pivot away from the stringent politics of aesthetic identity in New York jazz - reflects a deeper pivoting in identity, one unique to a composer who, like many endowed with the tensions of a transnational or diasporic identity, cannot fundamentally belong.” Raffi Wartanian, Jazz Times

“Michael Sarian’s music combines vibrant rhythms from his native Argentina with the complex language of modern jazz infused from his current New York City environment. The resulting mix compels you to listen closely while restraining (or not) the urge to dance your ass off.” Alan Ferber, Grammy nominated trombonist, composer and band leader.

Genre: Rhythm n’ Blues, Soul, Rock
For fans of: Little Richard, Sam Cooke, The Coasters, Stax Records, Junior Walker, Los Lobos, The Band

David Luther is a saxophonist, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist hailing from Michigan, and residing in Brooklyn. A pursuit of jazz eventually yielded to the carnal delights of rhythm n’ blues and rock n’ roll, especially that of the early days when shuffle was king, dancing was all but compulsory, and a honking saxophone reigned as the original lead guitar. The love and reverence for this music has informed a number of projects over the years, including the most current, The Free Alternatives: a loose confederation of like-minded musicians on a lifelong quest for deep pockets and indelible grooves. David spent much of the last eight years as a member of Meat Loaf’s band, which involved a number of world tours, TV appearances, and most recently, a residency in Las Vegas. He has also appeared with Bettye Lavette, Katy Perry, Jimmy McGriff, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Reuben Wilson, The Temptations, Clarence Clemmons, and the Easy Star All-Stars.
