 Ari Brown Live at the Green Mill Ari Brown, is a Chicago-based saxophonist and occasional pianist who plays hard bop and post-bop as convincingly as he plays avant-garde jazz. He has that big bold Chicago tone on tenor. Ari and his solid quartet will play at the Green Mill in Chicago on Friday, September 19th starting at 9 pm and Saturday, September 20th starting at 9 pm. A veteran of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM), and Kahil El'Zabar's Ritual Trio, Ari has been a frequent collaborator with Chicago's avant-garde musicians. Recently he has been playing with Pharoah Sanders. His latest recording as a leader, a December 2007 release on Delmark called Ari Brown Live at the Green Mill received critical acclaim. Ari will return to the Green Mill and be joined by the same rhythm section as on that CD, including Kirk Brown on piano, Josef bin Israel on bass, and Avreeayl Ra on drums. |
