The Art Ensemble Of Chicago – MOM Cultural Center – Budapest

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Uncategorized.

THE ART ENSEMBLE OF CHICAGO
8 p.m.  Monday, June, 7, 2018.   – MOM Cultural Center (MOMkult)
District , XII. 18. Csörsz Street – Budapest
One of the most influential orchestras of all time will be one out of four European concerts in Budapest!The sixties were, among others, a decade of music revolution!

Beginning in the mid ’60s, the Afro Avant-garda group layed their seeds as one of the premier free jazz ensembles to emerge from the crucible of Chicago’s improvised music scene. Their fusion of various jazz and pre-jazz traditions – minstrel fare, ragtime, swing – with African and European elements, theater, and far-reaching improvisation changed the landscape of modern music. A true collective, the Art Ensemble gave ample room to the playing and composing abilities of each member while retaining a unique, instantly identifiable sound that heavily influenced what followed in their wake.
The Art Ensemble had its earliest roots in pianist Muhal Richard Abrams’ Experimental Band, a (sadly unrecorded) rehearsal group dedicated to exploring the compositional ideas of young Chicago musicians. Three of these intrepid creators, saxophonists Roscoe Mitchell and Joseph Jarman and bassist Malachi Favors, were among the first members of Abrams’ Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) upon its inception in 1965. Favors, the elder statesman of sorts, had already been playing in area jazz ensembles since the mid ’50s Jarman and Mitchell met one another in the music program at Wilson Junior College before each did a stint in the military.

Their  awesome concert  will shortly come at the MOMKult, get your ticket on the spot or online.

VIVA BUDAPEST … ELVIS – 2018

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , .

Many are already aware of the unique day happening on the 6th of June when Priscilla Presley arrives in Budapest to be present at the Wonder of You – tour, she also welcomes the message to the Hungarian fans.  Although Elvis is no longer among us for over four decades, his music, voice, personality, left huge imprint that the Elvis fans will never forget. As part of the show, the audience can enjoy the original video and sound recordings on a huge projector.

Budapest is the only capital that called public space for the late singer. Recently, Priscilla Presley herself spoke up to support the Hungarian fans who want to restore the statue for Elvis the legend in the 20th century.

Budapest gained an exclusive “club membership” when mentioning his support for the Hungarians in 1956 for its revolutionary. Although tens of thousands of people have already received as their first name to be Elvis, only few cities can boast Presley public areas.

He probably never would have had thought that decades after the death of a consecrated space named after him in Hungary and once there will be a statue. No one has come close to taking his place away int he Musicville from the Rock and Roll and Country singer like Elvis.

Elvis bears a lake, a street and a square in Germany.  Presley lived in a small town in Bad Nauheim for one and a half-year from where he went to Friedberg every day. Now two towns are competing for Elvis’s real German home and, of course, both have Elvis Platz, or Elvis Square.

They call a whole lake of the King, in the State of Mississippi, near Tupca, where Elvis was born. The picturesque lake, beside the campers’ favorite and the campfire, are very often accompanied by Elvis’s songs

Elvis Presley’s greatest successes of the scene, Las Vegas, inaugurated already relatively small Elvis Presley Boulevard in 2017, which is located next to his former residence. The street was originally called Riviera.

Elvis Presley probably never would have thought that  forty decades after the death a consecrated space named after him in Hungary. Could be that once there will be a statue with a guitar in his hands or a stripe T-shirt blowing up the house in the Jail House Rock.

No one has come close in taking his place away from the Rock and Roll and Country singer like Elvis.
