Henry Grimes's month of 75th birthdays, Nov., '10!
The following dates in November are all at the Stone, northwest corner of 2nd St. and Ave. C in New York City (Manhattan), www.thestonenyc.com/calendar.php, $2O/ set. The great acoustic bassist, violinist, and poet Henry Grimes continues his very active schedule of concerts, touring, and education with an informal month-long residency at the Stone, playing various sets of music during the month with many of his favorite musicians. At the invitation of Stone proprietor John Zorn, Henry and Margaret Grimes curated the space for November, Henry's 75th-birthday month, and many of those booked asked to have Henry join them in their sets, creating a challenging and thrilling opportunity for him to play in an extended series in a select New York City spot with musicians (and a poet) he truly admires. Is this a rough road for a 75-year-old? No, says Henry: He only tires when he stops playing music. And how blissful to get a break from the endless travel and be able to stay at home and still be playing lots of concerts! Truly history in the making:...
