JI Bloom at Cornelia Cafe: 5/22/11

CORNELIA STREET CAFE

29 Cornelia St., Greenwich Village, NY


Soprano saxophonist/composer and former NASA artist Jane Ira Bloom brings her trio to Cornelia Street Café with long-time band mates bassist Mark Helias and drummer Bobby Previte. They perform compositions from Bloom's latest Wingwalkerproject that jetison the band into zero-g and beyond. Don't miss these seasoned sonic explorers as they navigate the space ways. Look for Bloom’s latest CD Wingwalker (OTL140) on the Outline Music label, featuring Bobby Previte, Mark Helias, and pianist Dawn Clement.
                                                                           
The poet of the soprano saxophone continues to make music that is both challenging to the ear and comforting to the soul
 – Brian Priestley/ Jazzwise

 “Wingwalker with its positive energy and inspired ensemble connections, proves to be one of the best recordings to surface at the dawn of 2011.
       - Dan Bilawsky, All About Jazz

**** 4 stars “A premiere soprano player…Bloom raises the bar for the soprano”
- Eric Fine/ Downbeat
