Tue 8/26 - Axis of Equals -- "A multiplicity of voices is a template for healing."
8 internationally-known New York musicians - core alumni members of the freewheeling, Grammy-winning Gil Evans Orchestra of the mid and late '70s - reunite to celebrate the band's "Monday Night At Sweet Basil" era.
The many skilled musicians who came through the hybrid electric/acoustic band in the '70s and '80s included major recording artists and sidemen, stars and newcomers, regulars on network TV shows, bandleaders and first-call studio musicians - all united by a profound respect for Gil. Already a living legend in this post Miles Davis era, Gil was more interested in Jimi Hendrix than reviving "Sketches Of Spain." He he wanted to see where the music could go; he wanted to feel the Blues. The result was the freewheeling, award-winning band that traveled the world for nearly 2 decades, while holding sway every Monday night in Greenwich Village. These 8 players aren't just reading charts 25 years later; they were there.

In addition to his solo abums, Pete has performed and recorded with hundreds of Jazz and Pop artists - including Paul Simon, Annie Lennox, David Sanborn and Jimmy Giuffre. He has released 9 solo albums, the most recent in organ trio format with guitarist Dave Stryker and drummer Lenny White.

Tom "Bones" Malone (trombone & sax) has worked in bands of Woody Herman, Louis Bellson, Doc Severinsen, Frank Zappa, Billy Cobham and 'The Band.' In 1970 he joined the Saturday Night Live house band where a musical skit featuring John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd mushroomed into The Blues Brothers Band, which toured the world and a feature film in which Tom appears as a fictionalized version of himself. In 1993, Malone reunited with SNL veterans Paul Shaffer and Will Lee in the CBS Orchestra which still performs on Late Night with David Letterman.
John Clark (french horn) is one of only a handful of horn players proficient in non-classical genres. John has performed with a wide variety of musicians, including Linda Ronstadt, B.B.
