RSVP for Art Lande - Stephanie Bruce Duo

Please join us on Saturday March 3 when Avonova presents pianist Art Lande and vocalist Stephanie Bruce in concert.  The show starts at 8 PM and the donation is $15 -$20 sliding scale.  Celebrating a friendship that goes back more than 30 years, Art Lande and Stephanie Bruce will be performing duets consisting of original tunes, standards, improvisations, and other fun selections.

Art Lande is a musician of remarkable depth and experience.  Since the 60′s he has been a bandleader, composer, and recording artist of the highest order, working throughout the US and Europe, and playing with top jazz players like Woody Shaw, Chet Baker, Charlie Haden and Paul McCandless.  In addition he has maintained steady career in teaching.

Stephanie Bruce:  When I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1976, Art was among the first people I was fortunate enough to meet.  He was every bit as dynamic and brilliant a musician then as he is now.  I credit much of what I learned about making music to this early influence in my young, inexperienced life.  Besides having a seemingly limitless musical vocabulary, Art has an exciting imagination and the ability to transform any musical idea into a sublime adventure.  I am thrilled to have this opportunity sing with a true master.
