Connection Works presents
Wide Open Works (WOW) concert series 

WORKS
Michel Gentile - flute
Daniel Kelly - piano
Rob Garcia – drums



“Michel Gentile, Daniel Kelly and Rob Garcia, aka WORKS, bring their gift for improvisation and a vocabulary that enlarges the conversation with depth, humor and discovery that reminds us of why we are drawn to this music in the first place” (Paul Pines, Lake George Festival). WORKS is the driving force behind the vibrant non- profit organization Connection Works. This group has exploited its unique instrumentation of flute, piano and drums to forge a distinct and powerful musical voice, putting the “focus on the dynamic writing and deep simpatico of the trio itself” (The Village Voice). WORKS performs primarily as a trio, but has also placed itself at the center of several adventurous projects, from performing with classically influenced projects such as chamber orchestra and string quartet; to commissioning big band pieces featuring the trio; to playing with a long line of esteemed guests, such as jazz heavyweights Joe Lovano, Sheila Jordan, Dave Liebman, Joseph Jarman, Scott Colley, Donny McCaslin and many more. Their self-titled CD was named one of the best albums of 2013 by the prestigious Downbeat Magazine.

For 14 years Connection Works has been presenting world-class performances and educational events bringing hundreds of musicians to the Brooklyn stage, such as Grammy winner Joe Lovano, NEA Jazz Masters Dave Liebman & Sheila Jordan, jazz legend Lee Konitz, MacArthur Genius Grant Fellows Dafnis Prieto, Steve Coleman & Tyshawn Sorey; John Hollenbeck, Anat Cohen, Kate McGarry, Billy Hart, John Abercrombie, Matt Wilson, Aaron Diehl, Wycliffe Gordon and many more.

Alejandro Guillén



“Alma Criolla” (Creole Soul) is a solo piano recital featuring Venezuelan pianist Alejandro Guillén. The program will be a dialogue between Europe and South America, showing different types of creolism that are always present in each culture and country.

The journey will start in the cold winter of Russia, passing through some Norwegian landscapes and dances, the modernity and introspection of cosmopolitan cities, to finally end in the South American coasts, where a tropical impressionist creates harmonies that are blended with sand and coconut water.

Shakespeare in Jazz
Daniel Kelly - piano/composer
Nicole Zuraitis - vocals

Shakespeare in Jazz: All the World’s a Song is  an engaging celebration of Shakespeare's work, offering an exciting new way to experience his genius.

Throughout the concert, audience members hear original songs based on Midsummer Night’s Dream, Twelfth Night, Macbeth, Hamlet and many more.

Monroe Golden



Approaching the end of a five-year residency in NYC, this concert of overtone-informed music — combining acoustic experimentation, proportional structures, and fanciful handiwork — features some of the musicians Monroe Golden has been privileged to work with during that span.
Compositions on the program explore overtone relationships in an equal-tempered context, natural harmonics of microtonally tuned fundamentals, non-systematic derivations from text, extended Just Intonation, and the juxtaposition of tuning and temperament systems with fixed media and controlled pitch drift.
