SUMMARY:Around the World with Saz Stories
DESCRIPTION:The saz is the long-necked fretted lute at the heart of many Middle Eastern and Anatolian folk traditions; this storytelling concert\, with a band led by saz virtuoso and composer Hoshang Habash\, takes the audience through the cultures and traditions of the music – original compositions as well as songs that reimagine the saz within other musical traditions: an Indian-inspired piece\, a folk song rooted in Hoshang’s own heritage\, an Arabic number\, and a reggae detour\, each one carrying its own story into the next. Musically\, the night moves through reggae\, funk\, jazz\, Latin\, ambient\, and folk influences alongside the band’s own fusion sound.

SUMMARY:The Dirty Dozen Brass Band / Fanfaraï
DESCRIPTION:A terrific start to the new season at The Arts Center – a high-octane double bill featuring two bands\, both making their Gulf debuts\, who really know how to deliver. The Dirty Dozen Brass Band (above) is the pioneering group that brought funk to traditional New Orleans jazz : the New Orleans-based Grammy Award winners blend traditional jazz and bebop with funk and R&B/soul – lots of energy\, lots of musicality\, and how can a band that includes both a tuba and a bass sax not deliver a good time all round? And Fanfaraï (below) is a kind of French/North African equivalent\, a brass and percussion ensemble founded in 2005 and based in France with musicians from a variety of cultural backgrounds who merge Arab-Berber\, Afro-Cuban\, Latin\, and jazz sounds with reggae and funk – and as the name indicates\, there’s going to be a lot of brass and a real overlay of raï (their 2018 album Raï is not Dead says it like it is). This will be a great evening …

SUMMARY:The Amy Winehouse Band
DESCRIPTION:It’s 20 years since Back to Black was released\, so there’s a reasonable hook for this performance by “the original musicians who performed alongside Amy on stages around the world and helped shape her distinctive sound both live and in the studio”. The show is organised by Dale Davis\, Amy Winehouse’s longtime bassist (he’s credited on some of Back to Black) and sometime musical director. We’re promised “an unforgettable celebration of Amy’s timeless songbook” with the Amy role going to “a powerful female vocalist personally selected by Dale Davis”.
