Pianist Joe Alterman and bassist/producer Mocean Worker (aka Adam Dorn) have joined forces to celebrate the spirit of Les McCann and 1960s soul jazz.
Their acclaimed new album, Keep The Line Open, reimagines the late jazz legend and the sound he helped revolutionize, channeling the genre-blurring energy that defined McCann’s music. A profound influence on both Alterman and Dorn—who knew him as a mentor, collaborator, and close friend—they merge their distinct artistry into an electrifying set that captures McCann’s essence while standing proudly on its own as a joyous, groove-filled party-starter.
Joining them to round out the trio for this very special NYC performance will be legendary drummer Lenny White, as well as special guests, saxophonist Cochemea and slide trumpeter Steven Bernstein.
This concert is co-presented with All About Jazz – www.allaboutjazz.com - as part of its ongoing 30th anniversary celebration.
RIZZOLI MUSIC APERITIVO
From Francis Scott Fitzgerald to Jack Kerouac, from Toni Morrison to James Baldwin, from Philip Michael Ondaatje to Geoff Dyer, from Julio Cortazar to Boris Vian, from Amiri Baraka and Ishmael Reed to Jayne Cortez, the list of international writers and poets inspired or intrigued by jazz and other musical genres goes on. Since New York City’s Rizzoli Bookstore has a long tradition of building bridges between arts genres, international scenes, and creative people, we wanted to turn our gorgeous space in NoMad into an experimental living room where live jazz and other music can be enjoyed. The Rizzoli Music Aperitivo is sponsored by Field Blend Selections and is curated by Mondo Jazz, the weekly Radio Free Brooklyn show dedicated to international jazz
MONDO JAZZ

FIELD BLEND SELECTIONS
Founded in January 2017, Field Blend Selections is a new wine importing and distribution company based in New York City, serving the New York and New Jersey markets.
In both name and practice, Field Blend Selections celebrates agricultural traditions and diversity. The name is an homage to the nineteenth-century immigrants who co-planted an assortment of grape varieties in vineyards throughout the United States, many of which survive today. Alongside their vines, they often co-planted other crops, including fruits, grains, and legumes. This approach of co-mingling various plantings to achieve balance in the vineyards is now referred to as polyculture, and it is widely recognized as one of the best methods for naturally enriching soils and reducing disease. Polyculture, by replicating nature’s diverse ecosystems, produces healthier fruit without the necessity of artificial herbicides or pesticides.
