Louis Rosen, Park Slope composer and OTBKB fave, wrote to tell me about  free gig at the Dweck Center at the Brooklyn Central Library.

Capathia Jenkins and I hope to help you take your mind off of the recent chaos of the
past few weeks with our last concert of the year–and it’s FREE.

The location is the beautiful new concert hall in the Dweck Center at Brooklyn Central Library (at Grand Army Plaza.)

The date is next Saturday afternoon, October 18. The time is 4 pm.

We’ll be performing songs from THE BLACK LOOM, a trilogy of song
suites I’ve written on words by African American poets including One
Ounce of Truth: The Nikki Giovanni Songs, 12 Songs On Poems By Maya
Angelou, and Dream Suite on words by Langston Hughes. We’ll also
include a few songs from our first record, South Side Stories. We’ll be
joined by our two favorite musicians, Kim Grigsby on piano and Dave
Phillips on bass.

For those who’d like to take some of the music home with you, we’ll
have some CDs on hand. The Community Bookstore on 7th Avenue also has
copies of One Ounce of Truth, our newest record, in stock. You can also
find this CD at most online music sites including Amazon.com,
barnesandnoble.com, itunes and rhapsody.com. And South Side Stories is
still available at www.cdbaby.com.The doors open at 1 PM with fabulous
events happening all day!
