ALMA CABARET SERIES CONTINUES
at CAIN PARK

CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, OH - Cain Park=B9s 2004 Alma Cabaret series continues with
performances by the John Richmond Swingtet on June 23 and Kassaba on June
24.  All Cabaret performances are held in the Alma Theatre and begin
promptly at 7:30 p.m.

The John Richmond Swinget will present =B3Celebrating Duke Ellington,=B2 an
evening filled with the group=B9s renditions of Ellington masterpieces such a=
s
=B3Black Beauty,=B2 =B3Mood Indigo,=B2 =B3Don=B9t Get Around Much Anymore,=B2 =B3Take the
=8CA=B9 Train=B2 and =B3Satin Doll,=B2 among others.  The show will also include
stunning film clips of Ellington from the late 1920s through the 1960s and =
a
few Ellington surprises.  Swingtet leader John Richmond heard Ellington
perform live many times and even talked with =B3The Duke=B2 about his music
before he passed away in 1974.  Consequently, he has chosen musicians
steeped in Ellington=B9s artistry for his eight-member (including Richmond)
swingtet.  =B3We can=B9t just play Ellington tunes=8Bwe have to play the mood of
Ellington, as well,=B2 Richmond says.  =B3He was not just a composer of pop
songs, nor should he only be remembered as a jazz great.  Ellington spanned
the broad panorama of American music and was always at the top of his game.=
=B2

Kassaba is a unique, innovative and dynamic quartet whose members perform o=
n
piano, bass, saxophone and 25 unusual percussion instruments from different
nations.  Drawing on their roots in classical and jazz music, pianists and
Cleveland Institute of Music alumni Candice Lee and Greg Slawson,
saxophonist and Berklee School of Music alum Mark Boich, and bassist Eric
Hosemann perform original works by Slawson that encompass several genres.
Musically exciting, the Cleveland-based group transcends the traditional
notion of an ensemble.  With each artist playing different instruments
during a single piece, Kassaba=B9s movement on stage flows like a
choreographed work and =B3paints Greg Slawson=B9s original jazz compositions
with the exotic colors of global percussion instruments.=B2 [Wilma Salisbury,
The Plain Dealer]  Recently, the group has performed at Walsh University in
Canton, the Grog Shop in Cleveland Heights, Case Western Reserve University
and the Beachland Ballroom in Cleveland.  =B3Kassaba takes the vessel of jazz
and pours into it the wine of avant-garde rigor and rhetoric with a
playfulness reflected in the instrumental juggling act on stage.=B2 [Mark
Satola, music critic and broadcaster for WCLV-FM]
