New York, NY - On August 7, violinist Billy Bang received a much needed hip replacement surgery at Englewood Hospital in Englewood, NJ (thanks to the Jazz Foundation of America for making the procedure possible). Billy is recovering nicely, but he has not been able to work at all for the past few months. He needs to continue to rest and recover for at least another three to four weeks. In an effort to assist him in meeting all of his expenses, his friends have organized a benefit which will include performances by some of the best musicians living in New York.
The benefit will be taking place at the home of sculptor and avantJazz enthusiast Alain Kirili and his wife photographer Ariane Lopez-Huici. Alain Kirili has a history of collaborating with musicians of the avantjazz scene. In fact a Bang solo CD, "Commandment" was recorded during a live performance in Kirili's loft in March of 1997.
Please come by to check out what will no doubt be an amazing night of music, all for the worthy cause of keeping Billy Bang in the black!
