Title: The Andy Statman Trio
Location: IronWood Studios
Description: Cost: $20
Age limit: All ages
Description: Andy Statman’s music is at once progressive and traditional, reframing traditional Jewish folk music in an improvisational model based on John Coltrane’s celestial jazz explorations of the 
1960s. Statman grew up in Queens. Influenced by the Greenwich Village folk revival, he picked up the mandolin and moved to Nashville in the mid-1960s, where he became part of that city’s nascent newgrass scene. His profound spiritual response to Coltrane about that time led him on two parallel but related musical journeys: first, back into the klezmer of his youth, and second, into a rigourous program of jazz improvisation. Statman picked up the clarinet and started playing an avant-garde, improvisational version of traditional Jewish folk music, a startling fusion of old and new that combines elegant formalism with adventurous musical freedom. (For you bluegrass fans put off by a fear of out-there jazz, he also still plays mandolin.) (Matthew Everett)

Description: This Friday (August 14) promises an opportunity to see some homegrown circus
performers in a stellar location, and also do some homegrown good. The
Runaway Circus, from Asheville, and Knoxville’s own Olive Tree Circus, will
perform at Ironwood Studios (119 Jennings St.). Donations are accepted and
encouraged, with concessions and a portion of the door going to Community
Shares. “Runaway Circus is touring,” says Community Shares Executive
Director Shelley Wascom. “My friend Ingrid Johnson is a member. She called
me with the idea of a benefit. I’ve not seen this particular circus, but
every time I’ve seen her groups it’s been really entertaining. There’s lots
of acrobatic balancing and juggling and great music. They do the—what do you
call that thing that hangs down?—the trapeze. Olive Tree Circus is actually
from Knoxville. They just got back from the olive harvest in Palestine, and
their work is a little more political.”
