Friday, July 6- Saturday, July 7, Kenny Horst Quartet (9 pm, $10)

Friday, 06 July 2007

Drummer and composer Kenny Horst articulates his expressive musical accents in the hard bop setting, soul-jazz (The Tuesday Night Band), fusion (How Birds Work), standards (Irv Williams Quartet) and jazz-chamber music (The Five). If you go deeper into his past, you’ll even find tours with the Harlem Review and Al Hirt. As proprietor of the AQ, Kenny is requested to play the drums with many jazz legends who pass through town, including maestros like Mose Allison and Lew Tabackin. Oddly enough, since he books the club, Kenny Horst-as-headliner at the AQ is an extremely rare event. Then again, given Kenny’s modest demeanor, perhaps it’s not odd at all. Kenny will be joined by part of his legion of talented friends on this gig (peruvian guitarist Andres Prado, reed-man Pete Whitman and Kevin Clements on bass) – and will probably push the spotlight straight in their direction.

Thursday, July 5, Peter Schimke Trio (9 pm, $4)

Thursday, 05 July 2007

Peter Schimke is a world calss jazz pianist with plenty of musical ideas and the finely honed skills to express them expertly. We are lucky that he has chosen to live in the Twin Cities. Jazz Police says: "Peter is a player who who isn't afraid to push the music in new directions. When he is comping behind a soloist he is engaged in a subtle dialog, listening and responding with harmonies and rhythms that sometimes represent a suggestion or invitation to the soloist. He is a player who is never on 'autopilot' but is engaged and committed to the music he is participating in creating. No two takes will be the same. Either on piano or Fender Rhodes, Schimke is well worth seeking out."

In the United States, Independence Day (commonly known as "the Fourth of July" or "July 4th") is a federal holiday celebrating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from Great Britain.

Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, beer, picnics, baseball games, and various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States. Fireworks have been associated with the Fourth of July since 1777.
