AFTER HOURS
Opening Benefit Concert at Scullers Jazz Club

Featuring John Harbison & Friends with Emmanuel Music and the Token Creek Jazz Ensemble.

Near Art Songs, Waltzes, Mary Travers Comeback Album with Roberta Anderson, Susan Consoli, Krista River, Jason McStoots, Charles Blandy, and Michael Beattie

Pop Songs and Instrumentals with Nicole Pasternack, Tom Artin, Rose Mary Harbison, John Harbison, John Schaffer, and Todd Steward

September 16 is the “pub date” for John Harbison’s After Hours (G. Schirmer), a collection of songs written “in the margins” between 1953 and 2009, some downright lowdown, some in the new realm of Near Art. Included will be two songs written for the occasion with lyrics by Lloyd Schwartz (a sophisticated beguine called Dreamin) and Louise Gluck (a tough country ballad, Stand By Your Grievance).

Manuscripts auctioned, drinks quaffed, engaging tunes heard, jazz played.

      This looks great! Here's some more I've found out: John Harbison originally intended to be a professional jazz musician - but only by a cat's whisker - actually a clerical error - did he end up making a living in the classical music world. He's now best known as a composer of "classical" music - symphonies performed by Boston Symphony Orchestra, his Great Gatsby opera at the Met, etc. For this event, Harbison and friends perform "after hours" music they love - jazz, "near art", and some of Harbison's Gatsby songs. Amazingly, this also includes three Pulitzer winners - Harbison's in music; plus writers Louise Gluck and Lloyd Schwartz, who've written lyrics for new songs to be performed. The tix are not cheap, but this seems like a unique event, and is a benefit. I see the pricier tix also include an after-party with the musicians at Upstairs at the Square in Harvard Square, with champagne and desserts. In my experience, the Upstairs will do right by you.
