The Eighth Annual Vision Festival: AvantJazz for Peace The Center 268 Mulberry Street New York, NY — Operating within a vast ocean of mediocrity, a culture of sameness and tired conventions, Arts for Art presents New York’s world renowned, AvantJazz festival, the Eighth Annual Vision Festival; a first rate festival which maintains its sense of community. The Vision Festival will take place over the Memorial Day Weekend from Wednesday, May 21 through Monday, May 26 at the Center at St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral. It will feature approximately 150 artists in 30 different performing groups over the six days of the Festival. We will maintain the two-day film festival, at Anthology Film Archives (Second Avenue at 2nd Street) as part of the overall Festival. Among the highlighst of the festival, are the additions of performances by Henry Grimes and Patti Waters: Henry Grimes brilliant career was cut short by illness in the 1960s. After recording with a who’s who of diverse jazz stars: Albert Ayler, Don Cherry, Benny Goodman, Roy Haynes, Lee Konitz, Steve Lacy, Charles Mingus, Sunny Murray, Perry Robinson, Sonny Rollins, Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp, Cecil Taylor, Charles Tyler, McCoy Tyner, Rev. Frank Wright, and many more, he simply disappeared from the jazz scene. Henry’s compelling story was recently told in the Winter 2003 issue of Signal To Noise magazine. For his reemergence back to the jazz scene Henry will be joining William Parker Monday, May 26 for the Jeanne Lee Memorial concert. Also added to the Vision Fest schedule is another important artist who emerged from the fertile avant-garde scene of the 1960s, vocal innovator Patty Waters, making her first New York appearance in over 35 years. Patty Waters and Jeanne Lee were vocal pioneers who managed in a short time to redefine the use of the human voice, while simultaneously exploring the darkest and most anguished corners of the female soul. Patty Waters two legendary ESP recordings, Patty Waters Sings and Patty Waters College Tour, were a major influence on other vocal innovators, including Yoko Ono and Diamanda Galas. 8th Annual Vision Festival Schedule Wednesday May 21: 7:30 Joseph Jarman Opening Invocation 8:00 Joe Maneri Trio with Matthew Maneri and Randy Peterson plus dance Christine Coppola 9:00 Poet Carl Hancock Rux / DJ Spooky 10:00 Billy Bang Sextet Featuring Frank Lowe with Todd Nicholson, Andrew Bemkey Tyshawn Sorey, and Tatsuya Nakatani 11:00 Patty Waters / Burton Greene / Mark Dresser Thursday May 22: 7:30 Bill Cole Project / Warren Smith / Patricia Smith poet; 8:30 David S.
