5/31- Change of the Century Festival, Beacon New York 

Beginning in March and continuing into the summer, the Howland Cultural Center in Beacon, NY will present a monthly series, “Change of the Century – New Jazz for the 21st”, featuring some of the most exciting figures in contemporary music. Organized by local musician, writer and multimedia artist James Keepnews, “Change of the Century” intends to debunk any notion of jazz being an “old,” much less “dead,” music. In this new century, artists spanning many generations continue to re-examine and re-invigorate jazz, continually weaving in new influences, formulating new challenges and establishing new standards and practices. Any music that so thoroughly embraces the immediacy of improvisation is by definition a perpetually new music. Come hear the shock of new each month during “Change of the Century”.

May 31: Bad Touch (NYC collective quartet performing original compositions of remarkable textural variety and daring, featuring alto saxophonist Loren Stillman, guitarist Nate Radley, organist Gary Versace, and drummer Ted Poor)

Performances will begin each evening at 8 PM. Admission for each concert in the series is $15, and $10 for students and seniors. Tickets will be available at the door each concert evening only.

The Howland Cultural Center is located at 477 Main St in Beacon, NY and their telephone number is (845) 831-4988.

“Loren Stillman is one of New York's best alto saxophonists, and has gained that distinction well before reaching age 30.”

-David Adler, Jazz Times Magazine

“a writer and a stylist that has found a previously unoccupied slot in the jazz spectrum”

-Jazz Review UK

“The magic, that which entrances, is not technique, although Stillman obviously can play anything his mind hears. He is that special player,one who is totally free.”

-Budd Kopman, AllAboutJazz

"Stillman writes music that’s intricate but unforced and devoid of pretension...just as important, he has a distinctive sound on his instrument — full but dry, with only the slightest intimation of vibrato — and he shows restraint and consideration in his solos. When a song opens up rhythmically, as happens often here, he sets an agenda without closing off alternative options. He’s a watchful sort of improviser, rigorous about everything, including the unknown.”

-Nate Chinen, New York Times

“Bad Touch is a young group facing the usual embarrassment of riches. It’s looking at 60 or so years of style and temperament in American jazz: soft, loud, fast, slow, in tempo, out of tempo, free, composed, cluttered, sparse, swinging and non-. And it has chosen all of them.”

-Ben Ratliff, New York Times
