SUMMARY:SONELIUS SMITH & ADAM KAHAN.
DESCRIPTION:Sonelius Smith (piano) and Adam Kahan (bass) and special gues
 ts Sonelius Smith and Adam Kahan started their musical partnership in 20
 15. Combining roads traveled and untraveled\, what they don’t know and w
 hat they haven’t already played\; Smith and Kahan explore original compo
 sitions\, standards\, and some other stuff. On any given night they are 
 sure to play something wildly beautiful\, compelling and familiar\, and 
 then break through the guard rails and drive off a musical cliff. ------
 ---------- Sonelius Smith is the greatest pianist you’ve probably never 
 heard. A truly unique artist\, his ideas are more incendiary than the st
 aunchest avant-gardist (though the avant-garde can’t claim him). He can 
 also be straight-ahead or even in the pocket (but the straight-aheaders 
 wouldn’t touch him). Living the music for more than eight decades and ha
 iling from Hillhouse\, Mississippi\, he plays with a soul and spirit tha
 t are intangible. Infused with tradition and history\, he rejects the ex
 pected at every measure. He may be inclined to play a well traveled stan
 dard\, but then approach it in such a way that sounds alarm bells for th
 e Jazz Police. On any given night he’ll play the most beautiful unimagin
 ed music you’ll ever hear\, produce puzzling even confounding passages\,
  and patiently give space and silence their due. The list of greats Sone
 lius has played with is both long and impressive - Kenny Dorham\, Charle
 s Mingus\, Rahsaan Roland Kirk\, Elvin Jones\, Rashied Ali\, Archie Shep
 p\, Freddie Hubbard\, Shamek Farrah – to name just a few. His compositio
 ns have been recorded by greats such as Ahmad Jamal\, David Murray\, Sta
 nley Cowell\, Robin Kenyatta and others. When not making music\, Soneliu
 s is a prolific painter. Amongst the three pianos in his house\, electri
 c keyboards\, upright bass\, guitar\, drums\, scores of music… are endle
 ss canvases he’s painted over the years – portraits of Jazz greats such 
 as Monk and Trane\, abstracts\, nudes\, still lifes\, musical notes\, yo
 u name it. *** Adam Kahan is a bass player and filmmaker who has been co
 llaborating with Sonelius Smith for over 10 years\, and in many differen
 t forms. They first started working together\, with saxophonist/flutist 
 Clare Daly\, writing and recording music for film. This led to the three
  working as a trio playing regularly in New York. Adam then formed and l
 ed the Lo-Fly sextet which featured Smith on piano\, Daly on baritone\, 
 Ray Scro on baritone and soprano\, Nana Sakomoto on trombone and Dwayne 
 Cook Broadnax on drums. Adam also worked with pianist David Durrah for m
 ultiple years\, up until his death in 2021. As a filmmaker\, Adam has ma
 de documentaries on Rahsaan Roland Kirk (how he first met Sonelius)\, Bu
 ster Williams\, Andres Serrano\, Fred Tomaselli\, narrative and experime
 ntal shorts as well. $20 suggested Donate here in advance or in person d
