FIREHOUSE 12 : FALL 2014 JAZZ SERIES TO BEGIN SEPTEMBER 12TH

New Haven'sFirehouse 12 is proud to announce the schedule for its annual Fall Jazz Series, the acclaimed venue's program of two-set performances by some of the most active, innovative and respected musicians in improvised music today.

The series begins on Friday, September 12th with a performance by saxophonist and composer Ingrid Laubrock and her quintet and continues every Friday thereafter through December 12th. The series features debut performances at Firehouse 12 by legendary saxophonist Evan Parker, guitarist Nels Cline, and percussionist Mike Pride while chronicling the continued development of Firehouse 12 regulars Daniel Levin, Myra Melford, and Michael Musillami among others. The series concludes on December 12th with a very special performance by legendary saxophonist Lee Konitz and his quartet.

Each concert will feature sets at 8:30 and 10:00 p.m. Tickets for most events are $20 for the first set and $15 for the second set and can be purchasedonline, by phone at (203) 785-0468, or in person at the box office beginning at 7:00 p.m. the night of the show (subject to availability). A limited amount of season passes good for admission to both sets of every concert are also available for $225. Tickets for the Lee Konitz performance on December 12th are $30 for the first set and $20 for the second set, though that performance is included in the prices of the season pass. Each event takes place in the unusually intimate setting of the venue's acoustically engineeredrecording studio, which the New York Times' Nate Chinen has called "the pre-eminent spot for improvised music in the region."
