THE STONE RESIDENCIES - A TRIBUTE TO CONNIE CROTHERS
APRIL 29-MAY 2
We celebrate the life and legacy of the great pianist Connie Crothers on the 85th anniversary of her birth. A virtuosic improviser and composer with a truly original sound, her importance in the world of improvised music cannot be overstated. Powerfully committed to honest self-expression, Crothers forged her own path, living her life just as she played the piano: intensely, fearlessly, lovingly.
“When we create music, it’s always from love” —Connie Crothers
Curated by Deep Friendship: The Connie Crothers Legacy Project—Virg Dzurinko, Carol Liebowitz, Andrea Wolper
Mark Weber (poet) Ratzo Harris (bass) Dimensionality: Ursel Schlicht (piano) Ken Filiano (bass) Lou Grassi (drums) Andrea Wolper (vocals)
Dimensionality was created by pianist Ursel Schlicht in homage to Connie Crothers' dimensional approach to life and music. The group debuted as a trio in New York City in 2017 and, later the same year, as a quartet at JazzFest Kassel, Germany.
