Harlem, presents:
New Yor-Uba, Then and Now with Michele Rosewoman
Larry Blumenfeld interviews Ms. Rosewoman as a part of the Jazz Museum of Harlem series, Afro-Cuban Beat
More than 30 years ago, pianist and composer Michele Rosewoman’s parallel paths—jazz and Afro-Cuban folklore—merged into a compelling whole in New York through her New Yor-Uba ensemble. Rosewoman will describe the awakening that led to that group, reflect on her studies with the late Orlando “Puntilla” Ríos, and explain the cross-generational way in which she has rekindled that group’s flame.

As one in a special array of American and Cuban guest composers and musicians invited to write for and/or perform with the ALJO, I will be accompanying the orchestra in mid-December on a trip to Cuba where we will perform (Havana Jazz Festival) and record new music. Guests include myself, Rudresh Mahanthappa, Dafnis Prieto, Cotó, Adel Gonzalez, Michel Herrera, Yassek Monzano Alexis Bosch and Bobby Carcasses. Am honored to be a part of this wonderful project and looking forward to hearing the manifestation of "Alabanza", espsecially written for this context and destined to be a part of the New Yor-Uba repertoire as well.
