SUMMARY:Kenny Warren's Sweet World
DESCRIPTION:Kenny Warren’s Sweet World\nSaturday\, February 7\, Doors 7 PM\, Show 8 PM\nTickets: $25 in advance\, $30 at the door\nSweet World’s sound is a composite of its three members\, each with unique voices from New York’s vibrant music scene. Melodic\, rhythmic\, jazz\, folk\, and sonic exploration in the context of Kenny Warren’s lively compositions. Their debut LP on Out of Your Head Records was hailed by the Best of Bandcamp as “the sonic representation of a beating heart.” \nWe believe that jazz is liberation music\, a means of connecting us to our humanity\, our communities\, and to nature. As an expression of radical love\, free music empowers us to fight fascism\, racism\, militarism\, and economic exploitation. \nKenny Warren – trumpet/compositions\nChristopher Hoffman – cello\nNathan Ellman-Bell – drums \nLearn more at kennywarrenmusic.com. \nABOUT THE ARTISTS\nKenny Warren is a trumpeter and composer who has been active in NYC’s improvised music community since 2006.
