Here's something to wake you up from your Thanksgiving feast-induced food coma. Remember Evan Flory-Barnes?
He's a Seattle jazz phenom and winner of a prestigious grant to support living composers. Early this month the Seattle cellist performed at the Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center with his band FOLKS during the Earshot Jazz Festival.
Tomorrow he's bringing a few friends back with him for "Black Strings -- Uncensored." For one night only, Flory-Barnes will jam with vocalist Cristina Orbé and cellist/bassist Paul Rucker. The three will be backed by the band Big World Breaks. Their performance is part of a series by the Central District Forum for Arts and Ideas, taking a look at African American string artists and composers. Details:
