The BREW: Dream Kitchen and and Craig Ventresco, Meredith Axelrod & Rob Reich
JCC East Bay
Berkeley, CA
Dream Kitchen presents a radical reevaluation of early Jazz, showing its roots in ragtime and folk music and its implications for improvisation. Compositions by Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, and Duke Ellington are thrashed, trashed and smashed by a tuba-guitar-drums trio whose members have won countless accolades in pretty much every genre of music ever invented. Join John Schott, Marc Bolin, and John Hanes on a trip to a strange but familiar old world. The trio will also indulge in an investigation of the works of early Jewish Jazz composers. Openers Craig Ventresco, Meredith Axelrod & Rob Reich fashion music utterly unconcerned with the modern era. Concentrating on early twentieth century vaudeville, ragtime and popular songs as recorded on obscure 78s from the dawn of the recorded music era, their sound travels backwards across time, pleasantly rumbling down the dirt roads of an America that once was.
