William Lowe & Kenneth Nash with Hafez Modirzadeh

SIGNIFYING SOUNDS!
HISTORICAL TRIO OF CREATIVE MUSIC ORIGINALS

This evening marks an historical meeting between three leading voices in original and creative music: William Lowe (bass trombone), Kenneth Nash (percussion), and Hafez Modirzadeh (saxophones). For decades, all three have been a driving force in the music world as performers, composers, producers, and educators. A true pioneer, KENNETH NASH has performed with the likes of Herbie Hancock, BB King, Cannonball Adderley, Ahmad Jamal, Freddie Hubbard, John Lee Hooker, composed for the Joffrey Ballet, and authored a one-of-a-kind teaching concept that has taken him across the US, Europe, and South Pacific. Professor of World Cultures in Music at SF State, NEA Jazz Fellow and Senior Fulbright Scholar, HAFEZ MODIRZADEH’s original cross-cultural concepts have been documented on dozens of recordings, including the upcoming “Post-Chromodal Out!” on Pi Records; his most recently published work appears in Critical Studies in Improvisation (http://www.criticalimprov.com/issue/view/127). Boston-based BILL LOWE makes a rare Bay Area appearance, revealing his brilliance for encompassing all genres that has led to work with Dizzy Gillespie, Eartha Kitt, Clark Terry, as well as Muhal Richard Abrams, Henry Threadgill, and Cecil Taylor. Lowe co-leads the Boston Jazz Repertory Orchestra and co-produces Boston’s annual John Coltrane Memorial Concert, mentoring countless young musicians along the way.
