Event Details

One of the eighty grand affairs at the TD Halifax Jazz Festival, July 8-16, 2011.

Granelli / Tronzo / Granelli (HFX/BOS/NYC)
improv / jazz

This is the 3rd concert in a special series of four celebrating Jerry Granelli’s 70th birthday... As V16, Jerry Granelli, J. Anthony Granelli and David Tronzo, along with Christian Kögel, create fully- formed, contemporary, improv jazz fusion. Their energies pulse and sway, forcing the listener to perk up at times, or occasionally sync up to pitch one right across the plate. PopMatters’ Matt Cibula said of their album Sonic Temple: “This is precision, this is punch, this is real exploratory music that cannot really be held down by anything. It is free, but it ain’t free jazz. It is just freed of all our bourgeois expectations. Best jazz album of the year so far...”. Performing as a trio sans Kögel, David Tronzo’s unique slide guitar should find room aplenty to pace about the landscapes built by the Granelli family. Come celebrate one of the fin- est jazz drummers of all-time.

Personnel: Jerry Granelli (drums), David Tronzo (guitar) and J Anthony Granelli (bass)


*A Festival Special: Jerry Granelli's 70th BIrthday SerIes - Jerry Granelli has spent his life as a cosmic outlaw deep in the trenches of popular culture. His fight is against the most evil of opponents: musical complacency. His weapon of choice, among the myriad instruments he has tamed, is the art of improvisation. To insure victory, Jerry has become an aural shape shifter. Each new project takes the music and the musicians in a new direction, which makes pinning him down next to impossible. Words that often get tossed around when describing Jerry are: inspirational, creative, energetic, passion- ate, driven and always surprising. The reason Jerry remains on the cutting edge is that he refuses to stop creating or experimenting. He has been a driving force of the festival since the very beginning, and this 25th festival marks his 70th Birthday! This celebratory series joins Granelli with an incredible array of musi- cal collaborators to help mark a great many of the stops he has made along the way.
