Fula Flute & Future Quest
Fula Flute & Future Quest
June 28th 2011
As part of the R2R Festival, Future Quest and Flula Flute performed at the Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts over the weekend. The first in a series of concerts programmed to coincide with The Public Art Fund’s Sol LeWitt installation in City Hall Park, Theo Bleckmann performed with Future Quest, a quintet devoted to “re-imaginings” of Meredith Monk’s music. Future Quest is Bleckmann on vocals, saxophonists Ellery Eskelin and Tony Malaby, pianist Erik Deutsch, and John Hollenbeck on percussion.
They were joined on the bill by a special edition of Guinean music group Fula Flute featuring Sylvian Leroux, Bailo Bah, Abdoulaye Diabate, Karl Berger, Mamadou Ba and Haitian percussionist Sergo Decius.
