Elliott Levin: Peace, Poetry & Music at Kraine Theater

Elliott Levin: Peace, Poetry & Music
Thursday, March 23rd, 2017 At 10:30 pm $15
The Kraine Theater (85 East 4th Street Near Second Ave First Floor) NYC NY 10003
Elliott Levin's musical and poetic inspirations are drawn form the roots of American forms of jazz and blues (along with many other international, cultural, folk, and classical forms) to grow into the more expansive techniques of the extended compositional and improvisational directions of modern innovators such as Cecil Taylor, Sun RA, Frank Zappa, and Don Van Vliet, to cite a few sources of inspiration. For the past 25 years, he has been intimately involved in the integral interplay of the language of music, and the music of language. Joining Philadelphia born avant-garde performer Elliott Levin for his show Peace, Poetry & Music will be Avant Jazz drummer Jackson Kraal (performed with Cecil Taylor, Bill Dixon, Alan Silva, Karen Borca, William Parker etc) and poet & virtuoso bassist Larry Roland http://www.elliottlevin.com/
