Broad Sts. 804-320-7067.
www.JAMinc.org\
Partners in music and life for nearly three decades, the
dynamic duo of Eddie and Martha Adcock has become known as “the biggest little
band in Bluegrass”.
Award-winners and multi-Grammy finalists, this lively team
of two are called “stellar musicians and vocalists” by 'Cashbox' Magazine; and
'Billboard' names them “one of the Bluegrass circuit's top acts” because of
their dazzling delivery.
Audience favorites dubbed “the Sonny and Cher of
Bluegrass”, they enjoy taking their warm and witty high-energy show everywhere
from family-style bluegrass festivals to the Kennedy Center, from sea cruises to
the Hot Club of France, venues as cross-cultural as their music and their
appeal.
Eddie and Martha feature their own original songs and
instrumentals, showcasing their strong, expressive duet, and somehow sounding
like much more than two. “A tremendous show...You will be entertained; you will
be amazed; you will be impressed,” says 'Banjo Newsletter'. 'Inside Bluegrass'
describes “Progressive bluegrass that spellbound the audience. Exceptional
music. Sterling vocal arrangements. This concert was memorable because of the
balance between front-work and hot music.”

The Langston Hughes Project -- Ask Your Mama: Twelve Moods for Jazz comes to
VCU Friday February 23 at 8pm at the Singleton Center for the Performing Arts.
$5; free with VCU ID. 922 Park Ave. 804-828-1169.
http://www.pubinfo.vcu.edu/artweb/music/concerts/index.html
Featuring the Ron McCurdy Quartet and
Dr. Diane Richardson, spoken word artist
The Langston Hughes Project performs a multimedia display of Langston Hughes,
his life, his art, and his times via Jazz Quartet, Spoken Word, and Harlem
Renaissance Images.
"Ask Your Mama: Twelve Moods for Jazz" is an 800-line suite of poems written by
Hughes. A researcher, Dr. John Wright, noted that it contained suggestions that
it be interspersed with musical interludes; yet such music had not been
composed. He and jazz artist Dr. McCurdy then partnered to create a multi-media
performance of spoken word, videography from the Harlem Renaissance, and live
jazz quartet. The presentation recreates Langston Hughes` vision of the global
struggle for freedom in the early 1960s and is now performed by McCurdy`s jazz
quartet and spoken-word artist Dr. Diane Richardson.

Orleans. Winner of six international chamber music competitions, the Quintet`s
distinctive sound, impeccable ensemble, stunning viruosity, and warm, inviting

Based in Boston, the ABQ has been the resident brass quintet of Boston
University, the Boston University Tanglewood Institute, and the Boston
Conservatory. The popular Atlantic Brass Quintet International Summer Seminar,
established in 1993 and now in residence at Boston College, has already secured
the ensemble`s legacy to the next generation of brass musicians.

The
Villebillies visit the Canal Club Friday, Feb. 23. Doors at 8:30pm. $5
advance; $7 door. 1545 East Cary Street (across from Bottoms Up - Main entrance
@ 17th & Dock St. facing the canal). 804-643-2582.
http://www.thecanalclub.com
Hailing from Louisville, Kentucky, the Villebillies are the
latest in a now rich lineage of credible artists from the south. A mighty crew
numbering ten in all, they stand as a testament to the power of male camaraderie
and the binding cohesiveness of great music. Ignoring genre boundaries the
Villebillies playfully cross-pollinate country and pop, hip hop and southern
whiskey rock, and what's more they're clearly having a ball doing it - as their
hometown live shows have proved attracting a diverse yet dedicated fan base.
The Villebillies are a 21st century kind of phenomenon, infusing traditional
instruments and backwater blues with a fresh and contemporary musical vision.
That collective vision comes from an unorthodox culmination of two bands, the
original line-up of the Villebillies, and local rock band Plan of Man, who both
formed over a period of time through a variety of associations, an assembly of
old childhood friends and acquaintances -- they now stand together as an
unbreakable posse with a desire to make catchy, life-affirming records that
reflect their personalities.
And that they do with aplomb, writing about experiences we
can all relate to at some time in our lives: relationship problems, families,
death and disease, partying, having no cash, and being positive. They're
irreverent, funny and capable of relating your experiences to you with a deft
touch that few can lay claim to.

The VCU Music Guest Artist Series
welcomes Eric Hollenbeck, marimba, Thursday March 1 at 8pm at the Singleton
Center for the Performing Arts. Free. 922 Park Ave. 804-828-1169.
http://www.pubinfo.vcu.edu/artweb/music/concerts/index.html.

percussion performance from Northwestern University. He is in his fourth year as
assistant professor of percussion at Colorado State university. He is the a
former instructor of Percussion at the University of Illinois-Wesleyan and the
Assistant Professor of Percussion at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He

VCU Jazz
welcomes Ayman Fanous (bouzoukee & guitar) and Tomas Ulrich (cello)
Friday March 2 to the Singleton Center for the Performing Arts. $10, $7 with VCU
Student or MCV Housestaff ID. 922 Park Ave. 804-828-1169.
http://www.pubinfo.vcu.edu/artweb/music/concerts/index.html.
Fanous and Ulrich met while both were
playing in Simon Shaheen`s Near East Music Ensemble and quickly realized they
had a mutual love of free improvisation. Middle Eastern classical music provided
a common point of reference, given flamenco`s Arabic roots, Fanous` Egyptian
origins, and Ulrich`s discovery of a more profound musical emotionality in this
repertoire. They soon began giving regular performances of duo improvisation.
The chemistry was immediately evident, as two unique combinations of collective
musical memory ran against one another, collided, and embraced.
The cello`s dark-wood tones provided a
warm and anguished mooring for the guitar`s searching, restless arpeggios.
Flurries of violent rasguedos from the guitar fueled impassioned single-note
lines from the cello. The duo has performed at several venues in New York,
including the Knitting Factory and the Stone. They have mostly remained under
the radar, however, preferring to enrich and deepen their unique improvisational
language as it is nourished by a constant stream of unconscious material, away
from the harsh glare of commercial and critical pressures. However, they have
recently completed work on their first CD; and this unique and authentic musical
expression will soon be available to the listening public.
Cellist-composer Tomas Ulrich received music degrees from Boston University and
the Manhattan School of Music. Jazz Now has characterized him as "the
total package: incredible chops, great imagination, and superb pitch. He
fulfills the roles of bassist, guitarist, and additional horn player and is
endlessly talented and creative."
Guitarist Ayman Fanous has developed a
unique voice that synthesizes ancient and modern traditions. With a basis in
flamenco and classical guitar techniques, he has explored the interface of these
approaches with modern free improvisation. In addition, he reaches back into his
Egyptian ancestry in improvisations on the bouzoukee.

Louis Ledford & Robert Blake
perform a night of American folk music at Millie’s Diner Sun., March 4 at
9:30pm. All ages. $5; includes family style meal. 2603 E. Main St.
Here’s a review of Louis Ledford’s album, “Reverie”:
‘Reverie’ is a striking album in many ways, and throughout its 48 minutes it
proves to be one of best examples of contemporary American folk music that we’ve
heard over the past year or so.
The simplicity of the arrangements contrast perfectly with the intensity of the
lyrics and vocal delivery, and this combination engages the listener from the
opening strains of ‘All of My Dreams/Most of the Time’ right through to the
final moments of the moving ‘September’.
Backed by acoustic and traditional country instrumentation, Ledford delivers
songs that cover a wide range of subjects from tales of the Civil War (‘Belle
Isle’), stories of urban frustration, anger and ultimately murder (‘Lately’)
through to a tender recollection of a show he performed in New York in September
2001.
Beautifully written and performed ‘Reverie’ is a delicate and subtle album full
of depth and intelligence – very highly recommended.
