First Friday’s Free Jazz Performances with Chris Washburne and the SYOTOS Band at the Bronx Museum of the Arts

FRIDAY OCTOBER 7, 6:00 - 10:00pm

There are two Jazz sets scheduled for next Friday at the Bronx Museum of the Arts. Trombonist Chris Washburne and his Latin jazz group SYOTOS dish out sassy harmonies, smart arrangements, and tunes that make you want to dance. It won’t take you long to figure out why The New York Times calls him “one of the best trombonists in New York.” He’s performed with all-stars across a huge range of styles, from Tito Puente to Justin Timberlake and Marc Anthony. Both sets are free and great way to spend a Friday night. Kudos to Deutsche Bank and the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs for sponsoring this and other First Friday events at our beautiful museum right here on the Grand Concourse.

ALL I WANNA DO
Michelle Medina, Morocco, 2010, 59min.
All I Wanna Do follows the dreams of 48-year-old Simohamed who works as a parking guard and his 17-year-old son Ayoub, who acts in Hollywood films such as Charlie Wilson's War. When Ayoub's dreams of going to Hollywood are dashed he turns to music and forms a hip hop group with his father. Like fish out of water, the duo set out to meet their heroes, enter studios and radio stations for the first time in an adventure through the music industry of Casablanca.

BONGO BARBERSHOP
Charlie Ahearn, USA, 2005, 8min.
An East African MC, Balozi Dola, wanders into a Bronx barbershop on his pilgrimage to find “the real hip hop.” Stubeling upon the pioneers of the New York hip hop scene, including Grandmaster Flash’s original partner DJ Eazy Mike, Balozi enters the scene rhyming with Grandmaster Caz.
