JAZZ GREAT GENE DINOVI AND HIS “GENERATIONS” TRIO IN KOBAYASHI HALL FOR A LIVE CONCERT AND RECORDING The JCCC is proud to present Gene DiNovi in a live performance in Kobayasahi Hall which will be recorded for Gene’s 26th CD release. “Generations” brings together the tri-generational musical talents of pianist Gene DiNovi, bassist Dave Young and guitarist Andrew Scott. With more than a century of combined musical experience, “Generations” entertains audiences with their creative performances of original compositions and gems from the great American songbook. Some of “Generations” repertoire is taken from Gene’s original ensemble that played many of New York’s fabled 52nd Street jazz clubs during the late 1940s and early 1950s. “Generations” captures the spirit and sound of that original bebop scene (of which DiNovi was a charter member), drawing on the pianist’s vast experiences as a sideman for Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Joe Marsala, Boyd Raeburn, Stan Hasselgard, Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Lester Young, Peggy Lee, Tony Bennett, Lena Horne, Carmen McRae, Fats Gene DiNovi "Generations" Trio: Dave Young (bass), Navarro, Stan Getz, Zoot Sims, and Al Cohn. Since 1990 DiNovi has recorded for Candid, Gene DiNovi (piano), Andrew Scott (guitar) Hep, Baldwin Street and Marquis. However he has primarily recorded for Mitsuo Johfu and his prestigious Marshmallow label. The debut recording of ‘Generations’ will be on this label as well. Although younger than DiNovi, bassist Dave Young has had an equally impressive career in both jazz and classical circles having worked with Lenny Breau, Clark Terry, Zoot Sims, Moe Koffman and Nat Adderley to name but a few. His own recordings with Phil Dwyer, Michel Lambert and Rob Piltch (winner of the 1993 best jazz JUNO award) and later his series of duo spots with such pianists as Oliver Jones, Mulgrew Miller, Barry Harris, Tommy Flanagan and Renee Rosnes earned him the respect of musicians and jazz critics worldwide. Young is currently the bassist with Oscar Peterson. Andrew Scott is the youngest member of the trio. With two recordings out on the Sackville label (This One’s for Barney with Harry Allen and Blue Mercer with Randy Sandke and Mike Murley), Scott has garnered radio, press and jazz festival attention around the world. Scott is in demand as both a jazz guitarist and educator (currently on the faculty of Humber College, York University and Seneca College). He has worked with such fine musicians as Bob James, Mike Murley, Randy Sandke, Perry White, Harry Allen, Bernie Senensky, Terry Clarke, Phil Stewart, Don Thompson, Marvin Stamm, Bob Moses, Duncan Hopkins, Terry Lukiwski, Phil Dwyer, Jake Wilkinson, William Carn, Terry Promane, Steve McDade, Andrew Downing, Mark Kelso, Dave Restivo and Marc Jordan. Join us on July 12 for a truly historical evening of world-class jazz. Date: Thursday July 12, 2007 Time: 7:00pm Tickets: $20 JCCC members, $25 non-members NATSU MATSURI AND OBON FESTIVAL Close your eyes and imagine a warm and sunny summer’s day, outdoors on the grounds of 6 Garamond Court.
