The Vision Festival is sponsored by Arts For Art, which is a multi-cultural, artist-initiated organization whose purpose is to build awareness and understanding of avantjazz and related expressive movements while encouraging a sense of community amongst artists and their audiences. Our principal activities are the presentation of innovative, creative music, dance, multi-media performances, spoken word, and the exhibition of visual arts. Rise Up Creative Music and Arts (RUCMA) is a new creative music organization founded in 2007. RUCMA is built around a grassroots coalition of musicians and music lovers who have united to address a variety of creative, political and practical concerns relating to New York's artistic culture. Most essential in this regard is a coordinated effort among both organizations to build an innovative new center for creative music and arts in lower Manhattan. For 12 years, The Vision Festival was limited to one huge exciting annual weekend festival of concerts. Shoshke-Rayzl is extremely proud to perform in the new Vision Festival/ RUCMA Series, started in 2008.

N.B. Shosh's mentor from Bennington College and lifelong friend, the great world-influential master innovator, Bill Dixon, received a lifetime achievement award Summer of 2007 at The Vision Festival, where he staged a premiere performance with The Sound Vision Orchestra of a new original composition. This performance can be seen on the internet by webcast worldwide & on TV in NYC Wednesday night, May 14th, 2008 at midnight - in Manhattan on Time Warner cable channel 57, RCN cable channel 84 and worldwide on the web at www.MNN.org (on lower left of home page, select channel 57 under 'Watch MNN Live').  [ Click here for new Online Viewing Help Notes! Recommended to try it out in advance, ’cause it probably starts on time!] The concert is a near one hour length composition -- a world premiere -- composed especially for this event.  The orchestra includes many great improvising musicians -- such as Warren Smith, Jackson Krall, Glynis Lomon, Graham Haynes, Steve Swell, Karen Borca, Joe Daley, Dick Griffin, J.D. Parran, Steve Haynes, Taylor Ho Bynum and many more.  'Transcendent' is just one of many adjectives that can describe the concert -- one that all modern music enthusiasts should want to see.  For more information, please contact somerealmusic@earthlink.net or http://www.bill-dixon.com

BTW, the new Lower East Side is chock full of interesting cafes, galleries, etc. Very lively! You may wish to come to the area Saturday evening several hours early, have dinner, explore, make an entire evening out of it... Please come to the live multimedia art music experience on May 17th. We really want to show our support to The Vision Festival / RUCMA - providing performance venues for creative music in The City!

This only happens 'bout once a year folks (with occasional sneaks in between), so check it out! This year, it’s the Trio (all guitars, of course) with Zehra Aydin and Jamie Bennett. Directed by the world renowned Tali Roth. "L'Encouragement" by Fernando Sor, quintessential 18th/19th century Spanish classical guitar composer. This piece's numerous sections each evoke completely different moods. It's amazing how a composition written hundreds of years ago, transmitted through mere written notation, can so effectively communicate so much feeling from such a vastly different time and place. "Maple Leaf Rag," by Scott Joplin, early 2oth century American Black composer, known for virtually defining the Ragtime genre. Usually played on the piano, arranged here for classical guitars, but true to the composer's sound, before the jazz era borrowed from Ragtime, with its original pre-jazz syncopation. www.taliroth.com www.dillonslounge.com Full dinner menu and cocktails available.
