The Iridium Jazz Club, located at 1650 Broadway (Corner of 51st) presents David Malachowski and the Woodstock Allstars on Wednesday January 27 with sets at 8:30 and 10:30 PM.
Pete Levin will play organ, Gary Burke the drums, and Graham Maby the bass. Vocals will be done by Machan Taylor with Daniel A. Weiss playing the piano, Dennis Gruenling playing Harp, Erik Lawrence playing saxophone, and David Malachowski playing guitar. The Woodstock Allstars is a revolving group of world-class musicians and friends who have played together in various combinations and configurations, but never all at the same time. What results is an intriguing, compelling blend of blues played with a jazz sensibility and rock stance. The name is borrowed from a friend; the late Artie Traum.Led by venerable guitarist Malachowski (Shania Twain, Savoy Brown, Commander Cody) the Woodstock based band features some of the best musicians in the world. Bassist Graham Maby and drummer Gary Burke are thought by many to be the definitive Joe Jackson rhythm section, and it was Burke, Maby and Malachowski (as leader) that formed the core of the Shania Twain Band in the mid-nineties seen by millions. Burke -now with Professor Louie & the Crowmatix-was on Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Tour, and in the Rick Danko Band, Maby has also played with Natalie Merchant, They Might Be Giants and Joan Baez.Videos
