Brian Lynch is a respected insider within both the hardcore bebop and Latin communities. He has developed his career as a trumpeter/composer and is comfortable negotiating the complexities of clave with Afro-Caribbean pioneer Eddie Palmieri as swinging through advanced harmony with bebop maestro Phil Woods. He's worked in recent years with Buena Vista Social Club alumnus Barbarito Torres, dance remixer Joe Clausell, and the members of the influential Latin alternative group Yerba Buena. He arranges for Japanese pop star Mika Nakashima and producer Shinichi Osawa, has written string charts for Phil Woods, and has played with such pop luminaries as Maxwell, Prince, and Sheila E. A 1997 recording called Spheres of Influence [Sharp Nine], which earned a 4-1/2 star Downbeat review, was Lynch's first project to reflect the panoramic range of interests that influence his working life as a musician. Lynch has continued to advance the Spheres of Influence concept, gathering around him a repertory company of top-shelf Pan-American oriented musicians. Brian will be performing with the Spheres of Influence ensemble: Justin Brown, Zaccai Curtis, Boris Kozlov, and Pedro Martinez and Brian has recently invited tenor saxophone player, Alex Hoffman. Since Alex Hoffman was recently added to the ensemble, I would like to take the moment to mention here. He is a native of Washington, D.C., who now lives in New York City. Since moving to New York in 2005, Alex has performed with such artists as the Jimmy Heath Big Band, the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, and Brian Lynch, at venues ranging from Lincoln Center to Smalls Jazz Club to the Blue Note to Birdland. Our next program will be on November 12, with Peter Apfelbaum and New York Hieroglyphics.

MID-MANHATTAN LIBRARY, THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY, 455 FIFTH AVENUE (40TH STREET AND 5TH AVENUE) NEW YORK, N.Y. 10016, 212-340-0989, http://www.nypl.org . Sept 23rd WEDNESDAY AT 6:30 P.M. Slide Lecture: "New York City: Algonquin at the Core," with Nadema Agard. A multimedia presentation by Native American artist/scholar (Powhatan/Cherokee/Lakota) whose own Algonquin nation ancestry (Powhatan) enables her to provide a better perspective of the original Lenape ancestors of New York City and the greater Metropolitan area not to exclude the extended Algonquian speaking family from Eastern Canada to the Great Lakes Woodlands, from the Northeast to the Mid Atlantic… as far south as Virginia, the home of the Powhatan and as far west as Oklahoma where they were removed and relocated and wherever else they migrated on this great continent. 27th SUNDAY AT 2:00 P.M. Film: "The Atomic Cafe," DVD, color, 88 minutes, directed by Jayne Loader, Kevin Rafferty and Pierce Rafferty, 1982. This compilation film was created entirely from American atomic propaganda of the 1940's and 50's. Without narration, it juxtaposes excerpts from newly discovered and rarely-seen government and military films, television and radio shows, cartoons, and the "bomb songs" that saturated the airwaves. The film then reveals fifteen years of concerted efforts by the U.S. government to mislead the American public about nuclear testing and warfare. 29th TUESDAY AT 6:30 P.M. Author Visit: Author @ the Library presents: Author @ the Library presents: "Eiffel Tower and the Paris World's Fair of 1889: And the World's Fair Where Buffalo Bill Beguiled Paris, the Artists Quarreled, and Thomas Edison Became a Count, " with Jill Jonnes. Discover the richly textured portrait of a visionary, of an architectural icon that became the glamorous symbol of Paris and French culture, and of an era at the dawn of modernity, reveling in the limitless promise of the future. 30th WEDNESDAY AT 6:30 P.M. Author Visit: Author @ the Library presents: "It Ain’t Necessarily So: Setting the Record Straight About English," with Patricia T. O’Conner, author of "Origins of the Specious: Myths and Misconceptions of the English Language." Do the British really speak better English than Americans? Why don’t French women wear brassières? Does “ain’t” deserve its bad rep? Should “niche” rhyme with “quiche”? Not so fast—the answers may surprise you! In her talk, she covers the whole nine yards (another source of lore!) and debunks myths that have bamboozled word-loving fans of her popular blog, books, and broadcasts. Exhibition 1 – 30 September.
