Thanks to Verse Responder Leon Freilich for this tip about 8 Prospects, Josh Camp’s composition about Prospect Park, which he will play with a group of musicians at Barbes on July 27th at 7 p.m. Barbes is on 9th Street close to Sixth Avenue.

Barbes is three blocks from Prospect Park.  But come Sunday at 7, it’ll be smack in the middle, for composer Joshua Camp will be at the club playing his new composition, "Eight Prospects."

He’s been inspired by "Central Park In the Dark," Charles Ives’ raucous piece that’s been called the 20th Century’s first musical trail blazer.
Look for Brooklyn colors and listen for minimilismo. Camp and his band–two violas, two trombones, a violin and a vibraphone–will play eight movements, which pay tribute to the park’s dog run and noncanine amenities.

"I could have made it ’20 Prospects,’" he says.  With audience encouragement, why not?
Camp was interviewed today on WNYC-FM’s Soundcheck by the Slope’s  John Schaefer.
