🎶🎤🎭 #ArtIsAWeapon Reposted from @burntsugararkestra 🎶 “Ain’t Necessarily So” - a bite from the woodshed. Come get the full serving this coming Thursday (Jan 30, 2020) at The David Rubenstein Atrium at Lincoln Center in NYC [@lincolncenter - 7:30PM]. #FREE For The People. Come early to guarantee entrance! Info link in bio. ___________________ Join Burnt Sugar The Arkestra Chamber for the U.S. premiere of “Porgy & Bess The AstroBlack Trapfish Row Variations” - their “caramelization” of Gershwin’s gully but melancholic masterpiece. With overt nods to Miles Davis and Gil Evans’s brassy and melodious 1966 distillation of Porgy & Bess, Burnt Sugar’s varied arrangers and conductors turn a dub wise, samba-licious, and ska-inflected ear towards the twerk-inducing cadences of latter-day Southern hip-hop and the cosmic jungle music of 1970s Miles Davis. Founded by Village Voice icon Greg Tate and co-led with Dayton, Ohio monster bassist Jared Michael Nickerson since 1999, Burnt Sugar The Arkestra Chamber is a sprawling band of musicians whose prodigious personnel allows them to freely juggle a wide swath of the experimental soul-jazz-hip hop spectrum. Rolling Stone calls them “a multiracial jam army that freestyles with cool telekinesis between the lustrous menace of Miles Davis’s On the Corner, the slash-and-om of 1970s King Crimson, and Jimi Hendrix’s moonwalk across side three of Electric Ladyland.” . . #burntsugar #burntsugararkestra #LCAtrium #NYC #porgyandbess #trap #funk #jazz #milesdavis #gilevans #gershwin #georgegershwin #livemusic #MusicIsLife #TraScapades #ArtIsAWeapon https://www.instagram.com/p/B77ew0gAok9/?igshid=1bwaxkojxe6he

#Repost @articulatedvinyl ・・・ Porgy and Bess was an ahead-of-its-time opera composed by Gershwin, written by DuBose Heyward and Ira Gershwin and was adapted by another play named Porgy, based on Heyward's novel of the same name. The story is a tale of disabled black street beggar, Porgy, attempting to save Bess from her drug dealer, Sportin' Life. The first performance was in 1935 by classically trained African-American singers, which of course at the time, didn't receive the highest of public opinions. But times changed and the story kept being told and eventually gained the recognition it rightfully deserved with its latest iteration being in London in 2014. This recording is based off the 1952 cast, with Leontyne Price as Bess and William Warfield as Porgy. And here, we have Wonder Woman giving Superman the cold shoulder, because he waited all week to figure out a way to tell her Avengers Infinity War grossed as much in its first weekend as Justice League did in its entire run. Someone's in the dog house. And can I just say how cool of a name is McHenry Boatwright??? #gershwin #porgyandbess #leontyneprice #williamwarfield #opera #dccomics #wonderwoman #superman #mchenryboatwright #skitchhenderson
