Morgan Faw was raised musically in Kansas City. This album release performance is his fi rst of many expressions of gratitude to the greater KC community of artist s\, musicians\, teachers\, friends\, and family who helped shape and raise him.
\np>\n
Recorded in April 2022\, his debut album\, “It Takes a Vill
age” (ARC-8777)\, Artists Recording Collective – ARC Record
s\, was completed on two separate days. The recording features all ori
ginal music by Faw collaborating with trumpeter Will Mallard and one compo
sition written by Pamela Wats
on.
“This is my first step
and attempt in truly giving back to those who taught me\,” says Faw. “I wa
nt to celebrate this album with everyone who helped me. And to be able to
release this project in The Blue Room at 18th and Vine is a dream come tru
e. The historic Jazz District had been my musical home and arts family gro
wing up. There is nowhere else I would want to celebrate this achievement.
”
The community is invited to this celeb
ratory event and open jam session to follow\, “It Takes a Village.”
FRIDAY\, August 26 from 8:30 pm to 10:00 pm is “Ode 2 Bird” showcasin g the 2022 Spotlight: Charlie Parker “Artists in Residence” – Morgan Faw a nd Houston Smith\, and featuring Faw’s band “The Flame.” @ The Blue Room p>\n
The Blue Room at the American Jazz Museum\, Spotlight: Charlie Park er\, and the Kansas City community welcome the return of natives\, Houston Smith\, and Morgan Faw\, (also known as “The Blue Room Babies”) with thei r “Ode 2 Bird” concert\, a Celebration of Charlie Parker and his Music and Legacy.
\nThis performance will also feature the members of Faw’s w orking band\, “The Flame.”
\nConceived by the two alto saxophonists in 2020\, “Ode 2 Bird” came fr om their idea of “pushing the envelope open” through expanding and raising the standard of music coming from a younger generation…a rather Hungry Ge neration. This concert also realizes the hopes of Charlie Parker himself\, who stated as much in a 1954 interview with his contemporary fellow saxop honist\, Paul Desmond.
\n\n“Ode 2 Bird” features sp ecial renditions of compositions by Charlie Parker and Kansas City natives such as Bobby Watson along with the original works of Smith and Faw and m ore!
