Beth Lisick Book Release

Joining her will be Las Vegas NPR commentator/municipal court judge Dayvid Figler, Whitney Pastorek from Pindeldyboz, magical singing misfit Linda Hagood and reigning Miss L.E.S. Dynasty Handbag.

-Entertainment Weekly


9.7 10pm FREE

The Ks

The Ks embody the sounds of the letter K, crunching and crying out songs of work, heartbreak and lust. They sound at times like James Brown meeting Pavement (more accurately, Stephen Malkmus fronting the JBs); late period Elvis Presley and The New Pornographers, Tom Waits and the Clash, The Beatles and The Pixies.

"The Ks represent the undeniable bliss of superior song-craft executed brilliantly. The guitars and horns rumble with an old school accessibility that almost never belies the ingenuity behind the arrangements. Monumental." -Jacob Bartelby, Smart Magazine

THIRD NIGHT!
www.wjazzfestival.com

Tonight, the program's titled
Timing Is Everything

with
The Rick Parker Collective and Steve Coleman and 5 Elements

Experimenter, innovator, philosopher and inspiring transmitter of genre bending explorations into what music can do, Steve Coleman has long been appreciated for his original vision in music. Coming up through the ranks playing with Sam Rivers, Dave Holland, and Michael Brecker, and then forming his own groups with luminaries such as Greg Osbly, Graham Haynes and Ravi Coltrane, Coleman coalesced his version of reality around a music concept he coined as M-Base.

Chronicles and Other Things with Michel Auder

Michel Auder's cinema verité style video memoirs have simultaneously documented his personal domestic environment and that of the New York art world, from the glitterati of Andy Warhol's Factory in the late-1960s to today. In Auder's video diaries, life and art are not necessarily discrete entities, and are often intensely intertwined. His work functions as a form of visual autobiography, documenting the self in relation to others, while also bringing to attention the way technologies of representation mediate between individual and social histories.

Works to be screened: Chelsea Girls with Andy Warhol, 1971-76, 88 min, video, 15 min excerpt; Annie Sprinkle, 1981, 33 min, video; The Games: Olympic Variations, 1984, 22 min, video; The Conversation, Brooklyn 2003, 4 min, video; My Last Bag of Heroin (for real) 1986, 4 min, video; My First Pipe of Opium since 1973, Mexico November 2004 7 min, video

Michel Auder will introduce the program and take questions afterwards.

SID & BUDDY KARAOKE
Take life a little less seriously. Sing a song. Be a rock star.

It's ridiculous over the top sloppy rock n roll Karaoke that nobody has any business doing late on a Sunday night. And yet, we do it here.
