Subject: Neil Alexander & NAIL: Solo shows and Summer preview

nailosity

Greetings, all - Wanted to let you know about a few things coming up. The full news is posted on our website, NAILMUSIC.COM. Here's what's up:

This Saturday May 10th at 6 pm Neil Alexander will premier a new series of solo electronic music performances entitled "Imagery Of Sound". at the Ann Street Gallery, 104 Ann St in Newburgh NY. This series is primarily meant for art galleries and openings; this saturday's opening is "100A.D." by Michael Zansky. Here's the official release:

>On Saturday, May 10, 2008, jazz synthesist and local musician Neil Alexander will perform "Imagery of Sound," at the Ann Street Gallery during the artist reception, "100 AD" 6pm-9pm. Mr. Alexander's preview performance of "Imagery of Sound," is part of Mr. Alexander's planned gallery tour. During each gallery exhibition where Mr. Alexander performs, he will improvise and create unique musical compositions inspired by the work of the visual artist/s on display. These performances will be captured live to Digital Video and made available to all hosting galleries.
Mr. Alexander is known for his extensive musical vocabulary and use of electronic improvisation to create music that has a strong visual component. As an experienced performer who works in all styles of music, Neil's vocabulary contains elements of jazz, rock, folk, Americana, ambient and 20th century classical music, as well as sound design and Musique Concrete. For more information contact the gallery directly at (845) 562- 6940 x 119.<

Then on Saturday May 17th at 1:30 pm, Neil will again perform solo, this time featuring the music of NAIL as part of the Electric Windows event in Beacon NY. There will be live music from 12 to 6 on the 17th; Neil is scheduled to go on at 1:30 pm. Check the Electric Windows website for details.

Other summer dates include an outdoor electric show at Cafe Mozart in Mamaroneck, on Thursday June 26th; The Newburgh Jazz series 2008 on Wednesday July 9th; a return to Benji & Jakes on Saturday July 12th; and another acoustic show at Justin's in Albany on Friday July 25th.

We have posted the first half of our performance at Moogfest 2007 on You Tube; the second half features our very good friend Herb Deutsch and will be posted shortly. The footage in it's entirety will be posted on NAILMUSIC.COM by the end of the month.

Now - we dislike asking this of you, but it would help keep down your unwanted mail if you would enter your zip code into the mailing list. Click on the "Update Contact Info" link below. Please take a moment, and you won't get emails for out of area events anymore.

A lot's happening - stay in touch. Visit the NAILMUSIC site for the all the latest.

no cover charge!!!!!!!!!

* * *

This THURSDAY:

** Dan Denerstein - keys & vocals **

** John Cariddi - guitar & vocals **

** Don Gardner - drums **

*********************************************************************

You could say that if you mixed Dr. John, Van Morrison & a pinch of Cajun magic you'd end up with the multitalented DAN DENERSTEIN.........In his 45 year career.....Dan has assembled a huge performance-ready repertoire.......A keyboard player & vocalist who covers genres from reggae to blues to jazz.....Dan has played all over the country as a solo act, sideman & bandleader......His New Orleans R&B band... Slim's Revenge... has shared the bill with Beausoleil, Buckwheat Zydeco & other nationally-known Louisiana acts........ check out the CD... Slim's Revenge...Live at the Turning Point. As a solo entertainer... he is & was a familiar presence at "Elaine's" & "Top of the Tower" in NYC...... but... he really misses Mahwah's legendary Nobody's Inn .....where he played on Friday nites for 7 years & became good friends with Don Gardner.

*********************************************************************

JOHN CARIDDI has played the guitar most of his life & attended Fairleigh Dickenson U. & the Manhattan School of Music. He has been an instructor for Jazz Studies at the Manhattan School & Ramapo College. John has accompanied Robert Goulet, Vic Damone, Nancy Wilson, Joel Grey, Al Martino, Ricky Lee Jones, Patti Austin, Peggy Lee & recorded & played with Steve Marcus, Pete Levin, Lionel Hampton, Gerry Niewood, Rave Tesar, Don Gardner & many others. Broadway show appearances include "Play Me a Country Song", "Gospel" & "Jesus Christ Superstar". He composed musical scores for the movies "Friday the 13th" ,"House", "Spring Break" & "The Shining". John's distictive guitarwork has been heard on numerous national radio & TV commercials. Currently, he teaches & appears live in many special event shows & with various Jazz & Rock groups in the Tri-state area........& he's a world renowned Tango dancer!

*************************************************************

DON GARDNER....a creative & intuitive drummer, always dazzles the audience with his chops.....he has this electrically charged spontaneity that brings a burst of excitement to the room.... effortlessly adding an extra spark to the music......& like the musicians above, he has toured the US & Europe, played with or recorded with numerous Rock & Jazz greats including Tom Jones, Mitch Rider & the Detroit Wheels, Lucy Lawless, Grover Kemble, Annie Lenox, Bela Fleck, Suzanne Somers, Sister Sledge, Lesley Gore & more......he's appeared on TV, radio, & in a huge variety of venues from CBGBs to the Rainbow Room, etc, etc.... & more than 20 years ago... the Tuesday nite jazz gig started with Don & Martin Pizzarelli & John Pizzarelli playing together every week...then the Pizzarellis went on the road (drummerless) & Don inherited JazzNite..... Don has invited different musicians every week..... although some do give repeat performances!!!.....Over the years there has been a huge & varied list of talented & well known musicians ranging from Bucky Pizzarelli to Lew Soloff to Dave Tronzo who have made the trip to NJ & now Suffern, NY to participate in this rare venue with Don....many of you have made that trip too!!!.....lucky people!!!........& as I've said many times before.....SOMEDAY....... I'll type up all the names of all of the incredible musicians Don's played with.... but NOT today! I did it once & who knows when I'll do it again???

******************************************************

***************************************************************

* At Caffe Dolce there's no cover charge!!!

& never ever let rain stop you from showing up....... RAIN OR SHINE.... its tented....

its expanded.... & its heated if needed.

Its like nothing else anywhere !!!

Indulge yourself out in the fresh nite air with LIVE MUSIC ..... & there's great food... refreshing drinks... a friendly & fun atmosphere.......

+ PLUS the new outdoor CABANA BAR is open...

complete with cute, talented bartenders ready to shake or stir your favorite cocktails or pour you a glass of wine!

.....& there are big flat panel high-def TVs for you sports fans... & beer of course... !!!

& those wonderful waiters & waitresses are serving Caffe Dolce's fabulous food & desserts!

& the RING OF FIRE fountain will mix fire & water right before your very eyes when your host... Mark McGuy... presses the magic button & the band breaks into their own hot version of......

Ring of Fire.... of course!! !

? ?

? ? ?

? ? ? ?

For those of you reading way down here...........

Well....this really made my day.... & nite..... I just found out I have a secret admirer! Are you or have you been someone's secret admirer????? If you tell them.... is it a secret anymore???? or do you become a blatant admirer???? If you are the secret but then you find out..... then its not a secret.......... or maybe he just meant he admires my secrets? I don't know.... but let's not keep it a secret that I admire YOU & would love to see you Thursday nite as you get out in the fresh air & catch some real live music..... & maybe some very talented guest performers...... Who will it be???? Its a secret!

I put those mistakes in here just to give those people a thrill who get so much pleasure & satisfaction when they discover them!

This Saturday, May 10th at 7pm Don Gardner will be playing with LEMON ISIS, one of the acts featured at a fundraiser to help hurricane Katrina survivors rebuild.... yes, they STILL need a lot of help...... at Community Presbyterian Church in Ringwood ..(973)-962-7431.....on Carletondale Rd. ..... ALL proceeds go directly to the cause... adults $10, kids $5, family pack $20.

Then on Sunday... Don's drumming in a church again.... playing with Jeremy Wall, Jay Beckenstein, Tony Cimorosi & the Choir..... at the Mother's Day Service... 10am...... White Plains NY Presbyterian Church.

OUR SPECIAL GUEST GUITARIST THIS WEEK AT THE BLEND SHOW/JAM WILL BE MELVIN SPARKS

www.myspace.com/themelvinsparksband

You are invited!

Blend-Wednesday May 14th at 8pm. 17 Chestnut St. Ridgewood, NJ www.blendbar.com

Also featuring Singer Nikki Armstrong and the house band - A.J. Hager on Bass, John McCann on drums and Rob Chaseman on sax!

Melvin Sparks is the Essential Guitar Player! He's The Master Of The Groove! The Acid-Jazz Pioneer! The Originator of Soul Jazz, Old School Acid Jazz & BarbecueFunk(FUNKJAZZ)

Over the last thirty years he has played with some of Jazz's greatest musicians: David "Fathead" Newman, Lou Donaldson, Hank Crawford, Reuben Wilson and John Patton (are amongst the many). During the 1970s, Sparks backed up Lou Donaldson on the Funk-Jazz classics "Everything I Play Is Funky" and "Hot Dog".

Sparks recorded seven albums of his own and played on over 100 other albums. As a session man for Blue Note and Prestige Records, Sparks laid his signature guitar work on many other musician's albums without ever being in spotlight. It was during this time that Melvin defined the jazz-guitar sound of a generation.

Melvin Sparks is still a much sought-after studio player, both new and old talents seek him out now more than ever. He continues to perform with the greats of this genre such as Leon Spencer Jr., Mike Clark and Idris Mohammed and is now breaking out his legendary guitar wizardry with many younger bands and artists such as Galactic, The Greyboy Allstars, Karl Denson's Tiny Univers, Derek Trucks and Robert Walter's 20th Congress.

Melvin is geared up to show us all what he does better than anyone else. Groove hard and in the pocket. Melvin Sparks has perhaps the most inspiring and soul-energizing guitar chops on this planet or another. He is admired by many performers, and audiences old and young alike, but continues to be a hidden treasure for music fans worldwide. He is Soul-Jazzy and Funky to the core! .

Richard,�

Hope you are well. Saw you briefly at the thruway entrance Saturday night as was reminded of an email you'd forwarded which I can't find, asking for a poet referral. I'd suggest Frank Messina, who lives down in Jersey but is a very successful poet who's worked with David Amram, the Grateful Dead and many others. He's got it down, and I have been working with him on and off since he was in highschool and started sneaking into clubs. Also he was/or is the poet laureate of the New York Mets.

check him out at www.spokeface.com or at 201.739.8295

See you soon,

For Immediate Release

Richard� Reiter Finds New Home for His "Spiritual Drumming" Workshop

�

When:� Three Fridays from 8:00 - 10:00 p.m.,� June 27, July 25, August 29

Where: RestStopRejuvenate, 21 Maple Ave., Rockaway, NJ 07866

Contact: Richard� Reiter, 973 857-2557, reiterjazz@...

Nature of Event: Participatory workshop (NOT a performance)

�

�� The drum circle movement has exploded and Richard Reiter has become one of the area�s busiest drum circle facilitators, working in schools (with students and faculty), hospitals, corporations, libraries, health spas,� Montclair�s Outpost in the Burbs (for nine years) etc.� Reiter is particularly suited for this mission, with his B.A. in psychology and M.M. in music, his experience as an Emmy Award winning composer and nationally recognized jazz woodwind performer, plus his intense training with Arthur Hull,� one of the world�s premier drum circle facilitators.

�� And now he has found the ideal home to continue his spiritual mission.� RestStopRejuvenate is a new wellness center located at 21 Maple Avenue, Rockaway, NJ 07866 (973 985-7548, info@...). Vicky Mulligan and her sister Dorie Francis say their beautiful center �is designed to foster wellness by counteracting and transforming life�s daily stress.� Our serene atmosphere offers you a place to relax and unwind.�� They offer classes, meditation stations, aroma inhalation bar, entertainment, and now Richard Reiter�s Spiritual Drum Circle.

�� Reiter will lead his participatory workshop on the last Fridays of June, July and August:� June 27, July 25, August 29.� Drumming is from 8:00 � 10:00 p.m.� Cost is just $10 which includes free light snacks and beverages. Reiter brings many drums for everyone to use, but participants are also encouraged to bring their own drums and percussion instruments. Reiter emphasizes that this workshop does not focus on complicated drumming patterns and that it is not necessary to have had any musical training.� Beginners feel as welcome as experienced drummers. Reiter�s web site is www.RichardReiter.com.

�� Driving on Route 80, take exit 37 �Rockaway Hibernia�;� turn right at light onto Route 513 south; after going through a light, the road narrows;� make the next left (across from BP Gas station that is on the right) onto Union�Union quickly changes its name to Jackson;� go short distance and turn right onto Maple;� go short distance and the center is on the right in a stone building just past a brick police station � there is plenty of free parking.

�� Reiter studied African drumming with master drummer Sidy Sankhare in Dakar, Senegal, and recently traveled to Tanzania and South Africa. Spiritual Drumming helps people learn about themselves, experience a closeness with their fellow drummers, relieve stress, and feel more exuberant about being powerfully alive.

RE: SUMMER TOUR SCHEDULE

Hi, Everyone! Well, summer's here and the time is right�to hit the road! J We've got a lot of great regional festivals and shows, as well the Big 3 Motorcycle Rally in Laconia, New Hampshire, & another tour across to Ohio & on down to Florida. In between gigs we've been writing and recording feverishly, & are bringing these new songs into the show to prepare for recording later this Fall.

In other news, there are new pics & press on the myspace & web sites, we received an endorsement deal, & we have new musicians aboard! As most of you know, Gil & Marc have session work they cannot leave NYC for, and Vonnie is the hardest working bass man we know, pulling down a serious day gig. They will still be doing many of the regional shows with us. We are saddened to let you all know that drummer, Joe Piteo, is sidelined for the summer getting a knee replacement operation. We wish him a speedy recover & healthy knees!!

Welcome to Dave Moore, Jared Kahn, & Alvin Harrison, who will be touring this summer with us! Please come out to welcome these guys aboard! We can't wait to see you wherever we go... As always, we're grateful for all the love and support you continually show us. We deeply appreciate you � without you, none of this would be meaningful. THANK YOU!!

�� Reiter�s passion for drumming began when he studied with master drummer Sidy Sankhare in Dakar, Senegal, and recently he traveled to Tanzania and South Africa for more inspiration and training. Reiter is excited by how Spiritual Drumming helps people learn about themselves, experience a closeness with their fellow drummers, relieve stress, and feel more exuberant about being powerfully alive.

Special kudos to Marc Shulman, Gil Parris, Kip Sophos, Vonnie Hudson, Dave Moore, Ron Mirro, Blues Buddha, & the incomparable Curtis Winchester (*Curtis Westchester*!) for joining us in making music last night, and to Joe Piteo, cane and all, for shaking the tambourine with us!

HOT OFF THE PRESSES

TURNING POINT VIDEO & AUDIO RECORDING: Thank you to everyone who came out to last Saturday's show at the Turning Point in Piermont NY. You helped to make the night a great success. We will be putting out a new live cd and dvd in the months ahead. We will post video and audio files too, so stay tuned. Thank you to Ted Cartselos of Case Classics for documenting us on video. Thank you as well to Mark Dann for recording the audio and for his stellar bass playing, and to Steve Holley who was equally spectacular on the drums. And thank you to Turning Point owner John McEvoy for doing his usual expert job with the sound, the lights, and the introductions.
NEW EMAIL ADDRESS COMING: I will be changing my email address to RobertRossBand@... if we figure out how to transfer the band's email list from AOL to GMAIL. Naems is helping me out so I have every hope that it will work. Please bear with us as I will have to email you again later in the week in order to transfer the address book. Thank you for putting up with the inconvenience so courteously.
