Paul Austerlitz at The Stone

About

The Paul Austerlitz Quartet will perform in New York City on at 10 pm on Sunday, May 29, 2011 at The Stone (corner of Avenue C and 2nd Street). An ethnomusicologist (or researcher of world music) as well as musician, Dr. Paul Austerlitz has played and studied Afro-Dominican and Haitian music, culture and spirituality since the 1980s; his music fuses traditional Afro-Caribbean Vodou rhythms with contemporary improvisational processes. As an instrumentalist, Austerlitz distinguishes himself as a master of the bass clarinet as well as the contrabass clarinet.
