JAZZ JUNCTION

Cellist Erik Friedlander delves into the seldom connection between the disciplined artistry of music and the physicality of combat sports in his latest album, Dirty Boxing. The record features Friedlander and his group, The Throw, including Uri Caine, Mark Helias, and Ches Smith, blending intensity, grace and a touch of the fighting spirit through powerful performances. On My Prophet, saxophonist Oded Tzur continues to forge a singular path, combining inflections of jazz, classical and more left-field inspirations while delving deeper into profound improvisation. Backed by his quartet with pianist Nitai Hershkovits, bassist Petros Klampanis, and newcomer Cyrano Almeida on drums, the album presents five expansive compositions alongside a brief introductory piece.

SKA: THE RHYTHM OF LIBERATION

Like other major music genres, ska reflects, reveals, and reacts to the genesis and migration from its Afro-Caribbean roots and colonial origins to the shores of England and back across the Atlantic to the United States. Without ska music, there would be no reggae or Bob Marley, no British punk and pop blends, no American soundtrack to its various subcultures.

COLISEUM THEATRE TO RE-OPEN.

Hesmondhalgh told the LDRS: “I think this is a huge step in the right direction. Not just for the art and culture in town but across the board because any Northern town needs a heart at the centre of it.”
