SAT SEPT 11TH ~~ MOSE ALLISON TO PLAY ONCE IN COLORADO ~~ Colorado Springs, CO, March 29, 2010 — One of the most iconic musical figures in the world of jazz and blues, Mose Allison, will be making his only concert appearance in Colorado on September 11, 2010, at Armstrong Hall on the Colorado College campus, 14 E. Cache la Poudre, Colorado Springs. Tickets are available on line at www.amusiccompanyinc.com or at KRCC FM, 912 N. Weber, Colorado Springs. Prices are $30 advance ($35 day of show), a VIP ticket is $50 and includes a meet and greet with Mose Allison, appetizers, drink and choice seating. KRCC members may receive a discounted general admission ticket for $24 when purchased in advance at the KRCC studio. Showtime is 8pm ~~ Mose John Allison Jr. was born in 1927 in Tippo, Mississippi, a cotton town in the Mississippi delta. By the time Mose was in grade school he was already composing boogie woogie tunes on the piano. His father, a piano stride player himself, encouraged the young Mose in his playing but also taught him the meaning of “work on the farm.” Mose plowed cotton with a mule and said once that he is probably one of the few remaining living bluesman who can honestly make that claim. He grew up where “The blues was in the air.” While still in his teens Mose was sitting in with R & B bands on Memphis’s famed musical mecca, Beale Street. One of those bands was led by another teenage bluesman, Beale Street Boy, better known as B. B. King. It was a full decade before SUN Records discovery of Elvis Presley. In the 1940’s in the deep south it was not yet socially acceptable for races to mix in public places. When it comes to music Mose says, “I just followed my ears.” ~~ In 1956 Mose migrated to New York where the jazz scene was taking off. He staked out an artistic and musical niche that was both respected and unique. Today, many in the industry view Mose as a musician’s musician, a singer’s singer and a songwriter’s songwriter. Mose is still playing over 150 dates a year and considers his 40 years on the road performing as “on the job training.” In the states, Mose has a loyal following but, it was in England during the 1960’s where Mose got the attention of many soon to be British Invaders. The Yardbirds, The Who, John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers and others would soon be covering his songs. Someone said to Mose once, “You were a social critic before Dylan; you were satirical long before Newman; you were rude long before Jagger; why aren’t you a big star?” Mose’s answer to that was, “Just Lucky, I guess.” Mose’s popularity in the states has been on a slow and steady rise. As the man himself wrote, “If you live, your time will come”. Perhaps Mose’s time has finally come ~~ Mose’s new album, The Way of the World, was released on March 23, 2010, marking his return to the recording studio after a 12 year absence. Working with maverick producer Joe Henry, Allison has found his most sympathetic setting in years, surrounded by young, vibrant players, who add surprising slide guitar and some sinewy saxophone to the classic Mose sound. The Way of the World also features Mose’s first-ever duet with his daughter, singer Amy Allison ~~ “Mose Allison is definitely a legend” explains Amy Whitesell of A Music Company Inc., co-promoter of the concert along with KRCC Concerts. “His songs have been recorded by countless artists over the last 60 years and they are true classics. But no one comes close to delivering the songs the way Mose does” ~~ For more information contact A Music Company Inc. at 719-576-5945 or KRCC at 719-473-4801 ~~ FMI:Amy Whitesell, A Music Company, Inc., “Keeping Music Live” ~~ www.AMusicCompanyInc.com ~~ 719-576-5945 or 719-237-9953 ~~  Mose Allison hi-res 2.jpg (image/jpeg) 789K ~~  Mose Allison Hi-Res.jpg (image/jpeg) 1148K ~~.

~~ SAT MAY 8TH ~~ CHASED, the 9-piece Denver band re-creating the charisma of the ’70s band CHASE will perform two shows @ Dazzle, 930 Lincoln St., Denver, CO 80203 ~~ Hit Timezz:  7 & 9PM  ~~ Cover: $15 ~~ The original CHASE band, which rivaled Blood, Sweat & Tears and Chicago in terms of jazz/rock power, came to an end in 1974 with the plane-crash death of founder Bill Chase. Chase had developed his prowess in jazz while playing lead trumpet with the Maynard Ferguson and Woody Herman bands. He later organized his own group featuring a front line of four trumpets with vocalist and rhythm section ~~ While most of the original CHASE songs and arrangements disappeared after Chase’s death, Denver trumpeters (and co-leaders) Scott Handler and Jay Nakagawa have faithfully transcribed these charts from the original studio and live recordings, maintaining as much of the original voicings as humanly and technologically possible ~~ CHASED’s performances are characterized by the four high-note trumpets that Jim Szantor of Downbeat magazine called “the hallmark of the Chase brass—complex cascading lines; a literal waterfall of trumpet timbre and technique.” ~~ CHASED is the trumpet section of Scott Handler, Jay Nakagawa, Kevin Tague and Jason Mabrey with the fantastic rhythm section of Tim Hurley (g), Mike Marlier (d), Dave Weinand (b) and Gary Dempsey (k). Vocalist Stuart Dameron’s stylings bring all of the excitement and energy of this era to life with his dynamic performances.  Come relive this period of music past at Dazzle with their great food, great atmosphere and always great music ~~  Reservations strongly suggested as all previous shows were sold out. Don’t miss the repeat performance of this outstanding group ~~ Music Educators:  Bring a group of 5+ students and receive YOUR ticket FREE.
