Matt Haimovitz and his all-cello ensemble, Uccello, to play at four local venues and in New York City in May
Renowned for his fascinating and far-reaching musical adventures and fearlessly virtuosic performances -- whether in a club or on one of the world’s great stages -- cellist Matt Haimovitz harnesses his eight-piece ensemble of “cello warriors” (San Jose Mercury News), Uccello, for a new program of jazz classics in original arrangements by Rome Prize-winning composer David Sanford. In works by Ornette Coleman, Charles Mingus, John McLaughlin (Mahavishnu), Miles Davis, Billy Strayhorn and other jazz legends, the cellos wail, slide, and swing in an all-new big band sound.
The program will be heard on Saturday, May 8 in Hudson, NY at Club Helsinki
