PETE MALINVERNI & JULIET KURTZMAN

SUNDAY FEBRUARY 21

9.00 PM EU | 8.00 PM LON | 3.00 PM NY | 12.00PM LA

TICKET PRICE €10.00 / £10.00 / $13.00

Pete Malinverni, piano Juliet Kurtzman, violin

Master Jazz pianist Pete Malinverni and virtuoso Classical violinist Juliet Kurtzman, perform music from their new CD release, “Candlelight – Love in the Time of Cholera”. This features a program of music as culturally wide-ranging as the diverse American hemisphere from which it is drawn, including tangos by Piazzolla and Gardel, a Joplin rag, the classic American ballad “Body and Soul”, a Brazilian choriño, and five lesser known pieces by the tragic genius, cornetist Bix Beiderbecke.

 Already heard as a specially featured recording on the internationally heard PRX radio program, “Jazz After Hours”, the album was chosen as a special “Editor’s Pick” in Down Beat magazine and has been called, from among several glowing notices, “a luscious delight”, and, “a striking and emotionally infused album”. In a nod to the Gabriel Garcia-Marquez-inspired title of the recording, one writer recognised the significance of art that celebrates human connection during a time when we feel the need of intimacy more than ever, noting the arrival, in “Candlelight – Love in the Time of Cholera”, of a recording that “demonstrates the universality of music and the joy that it can bring as an elixir of hope to get us through these trying times”.
