JAZZ MEETS FLAMENCO: present by Jazz at Lincoln Center
Fri-Sat Feb 24-25 7:30pm & 9:30pm?The Allen Room
At first glance, jazz and flamenco may not appear to have a common musical ancestry. But beneath the surface, both share a common root born out of the traditional music and dance forms of West Africa. In this outstanding double bill, multitalented jazz guitarist Doug Wamble and flamenco guitar virtuoso Niño Josele will lead their respective ensembles through this rich interconnected musical territory. The two groups will also join forces to perform new music composed by Wamble especially for this concert. Featuring bassist John Benitez, percussionist Horatio "El Negro" Hernandez, flamenco dancer Juan De Juan, and tap dancer Jason Samuels Smith.

THE HIP TAP PROJECT PRESENTS "Entre deux chaises/a tale of two chairs"
tap dance, hip hop dance, body percussion, guitar, violin, percussion
In a universe where rhythm is the essence, the show tells the story of the encounter between seven ecclectic artists and two chairs. With humour and imagination, personalities are revealed as music and dance become the means to accept the invitation to take a seat. Communication requires the voluntary act of reaching out, and so it is, that the space between two chairs becomes the meeting ground.
Choreography : LeeLa Petronio • With Arthur Benhamou, Jean-Pierre Douterluigne, Karim Kanal, Quelen Lamouroux, Olivier Lerat, Christine Nypan
