The George Lernis Jazz Quartet And World Fusion Ensemble, Esthema Live At The

Join The George Lernis Jazz Quartet and the World Fusion Ensemble, Esthema for an inspired evening of music. This is the first time these two unique ensembles will be sharing an evening, the common thread being George Lernis, leader/composer of his Jazz Quartet and percussionist extraordinaire for Esthema. The all ages evening begins promptly at 7PM and has a cover of .00. Esthema's music has been called "breathtaking World Fusion music" by Indie-Music.com and Joel Simches in Boston's The Noise Magazine… Show more stated that "I could not recommend this more highly to lovers of world and jazz music." Janie Franz in Skope Magazine wrote that Esthema are "masters of world fusion like no one has ever done before" and Barry Cleveland in Guitar Player Magazine wrote that Esthema "plays at a truly world-class level, with authenticity, aplomb, and exuberance." Join Esthema as they premiere compositions from their future release, Long Goodbye. The George Lernis Jazz Quartet just released their first album called "Shapes of Nature". "Shapes of Nature, the debut recording of George Lernis Jazz Quartet, introduces the distinctive music of the talented drummer-percussionist-composer. Citing the last Tony Williams as his primary model for his modernistic approach to drumming, Lernis expands up on the restrictive role of timekeeper, playing a naturally flowing amalgamation of shifting rhythms the distinguishes his work from more typical mainstream jazz while maintaining an appealing sound. The melodies of the compositions were greatly influenced by middle-eastern scales. Like the Shapes of Nature, this album serves as a canvas of variform sounds, colors and rhythms." - Drumhead Magazine, Published: October, 2011
