NJW Presents: Don Aliquo's "Sun & Shield" CD Release Party
Don Aliquo CD release party
Sunday, May 22
3:00pm
The Jazz Cave
Nashville Jazz Workshop, 1319 Adams Street
NJW is pleased to host saxophonist Don Aliquo's CD release party for his new release Sun and Shield, on Sunday, May 22, from 3-5pm in the Jazz Cave.
Aliquo's 5th solo release is a New York based affair, featuring veteran jazz masters Rufus Reid (bass) Jim McNeely (piano) and the dynamic Obed Calvaire (drums). Recorded in Englewood, New Jersey in June 2010, the CD showcases Aliquo’s sparkling and thoughtful compositions as well as pieces contributed by veteran composers Reid and McNeely. It also debuts Don’s work as a jazz clarinetist, an often overlooked solo instrument with deep jazz roots. The recording presents the consistently brilliant Reid and McNeely, but also showcases the young Obed Calvaire, whose spirited and creative playing is often a rhythmic catalyst for Aliquo. "This project was a thrill to record from the first note. Having the opportunity to play with two of my musical heroes in Reid and McNeely and "musically sparring" with the powerful Obed Calvaire is an experience I will never forget!” states Aliquo.
Don is currently the Director of Jazz Studies and Professor of Saxophone at Middle Tennessee State University near Nashville. He has performed in concerts and/or recordings with Gary Burton, Greg Osby, Rufus Reid, Pete Christlieb, Scott Robinson, Jeff Coffin and Marvin Stamm to name a few. Aliquo is also an in-demand clinician, presenting concerts and clinics throughout the United States and is honored to represent Vandoren (reeds and mouthpieces) and P.Mauriat (saxophones).

Nashville Jazz Workshop Presents: The Solo Art Exhibition of Heather Brand & an All-Star Jazz Performance!
Join Nashville jazz greats Lori Mechem, Roger Spencer, Marcus Finnie, Roy Agee, Monica Ramey and the legendary Beegie Adair for the celebration and premiere of their dear friend & photographer Heather Brand’s highly-acclaimed Solo Photography Exhibition at the Nashville Jazz Workshop on April 9th from 5:30-7:30pm.
This Nashville-based photographer and former student of the Speos Institute of Photography in Paris is best known for her portraits of political figures, musicians and everyday people, all of which have been featured regularly in magazines, fashion and advertising. Many of Brand’s portraits of political figures have become signature images. Brand served as the official photographer for John McCain during his 2008 presidential election.
Like portrait photographer Arnold Newman, Brand has become well known for combining the esthetics of a person’s environment and personality into a single moment of inspiration. Her fine art work was selected for exhibition at the Salon d’art contemporain de Museum National D’Histoire Naturelle and her series “Regard a la Loupe”, meaning “through the magnifying lens”, featured tightly cropped portraits was seen in venues throughout Paris. Additionally, her work has been featured in publications worldwide including, Glamour, Paris Match, and Vogue.
This special event is free and open to the public. Framed art, collector prints and books will be available for purchase and signing. For more information, visit http://www.heatherbrand.com or call
