A Night at the East
With Gary Bartz, Billy Hart, DAVID MURRAY, Shabaka, NICOLE MITCHELL, AHMED ABDULLAH, Moor Mother, Charles Burnham, Julius Rodriguez, Luke Stewart, Elucid, AND Kweku Sumbry.
Plus DJ SPINNA (UNTIL LATE LATE)
We celebrate the East with a special one-off tribute show dedicated to the landmark Black cultural arts center. A one-of-a-kind venue and meeting place for Black people along Claver Place in Bed-Stuy from 1969 through the 1980s, it was the site of many landmark performances from Max Roach, Sun Ra, Betty Carter, Pharoah Sanders and other jazz legends. Gathering tonight will be an all-star lineup including direct East participants Billy Hart and Gary Bartz alongside Shabaka , Moor Mother, Julius Rodriguez, Luke Stewart, Nicole Mitchell, Elucid, Kweku Sumbry and Charles Burnham. They will reimagine a night at the East, using the center's rich history as a springboard to something new. Curated By Marcus J. Moore and Brice Rosenbloom.

Shabaka’s work transcends conventional notions of genre and draws from a vast pallet of cultural influences. Whilst he’s undeniably a pioneering voice in the renaissance of British Jazz, his remit is much broader: he has also performed classical concertos with world-leading orchestras; led several hugely influential bands (Sons of Kemet, The Comet is Coming, Shabaka and The Ancestors) and has recently released a critically lauded solo album; Afrikan Culture, a work of exceptional beauty and urgency, focussed around the eastern Asian instrument, the Shakuhachi, of which Shabaka is a major exponent.
