Charlie Apicella & Iron City
Friday August 23 @ 7:00 pm - 11:00 pm
| $37New York guitarist Charlie Apicella‘s musical voice runs historically deep, with his seven recordings to date highly focused on celebrating the elders of jazz, R&B, and the Blues.
His band, Iron City, has been with him the whole way, providing a base context for all of his projects. With Destiny Calling, this hard bop rhythm section drives headlong into the future as the elder masters of The Griots Speak draw from a lifetime of experience in communication with the ancestors. For Apicella, it’s the realization of lessons learned through his studies with Yusef Lateef and Pat Martino and the opportunity to further amplify the legacy. As a young guitarist he also met his idol BB King, who offered him advice and shared some stories.
Charlie Apicella was voted onto the 84th and 86th DownBeat Readers Poll for Guitar. Charlie has performed concerts and recorded with jazz legends Dave Holland, Sonny Fortune, John Blake, Jr., and Avery Sharpe as well as contemporary masters Joe Magnarelli, Vic Juris, Dave Stryker, Don Braden, and Jon Herington of Steely Dan.
The band is comprised of Charlie Apicella, guitar; Juma Sultan, congas; Mayra Casales, percussion; Adrian Moring, bass; Austin Walker, drums.
