DELHI — Bushel is pleased to present the Jimi Hendrix Jazz Trio, not the tribute band you’re expecting. Musicians Blake Fleming, Evan Jagels, and Wyatt Ambrose honor one of music history’s greatest innovators by reimagining his iconic songs through the lens of a modern improvising trio. This concert takes place on Friday, October 24, 7 pm, at Bushel, 106 Main Street, Delhi. Tickets are available for $15 in advance on Bushel’s website, www.bushelcollective.org or $20 cash or Venmo at the door.
The Trio’s repertoire includes “Fire” as real Coltrane-inspired fire music, “The Wind Cries Mary” as a blistering Brazilian Baiao, and “Machine Gun” as a persisting anti-war cry for contemporary society. Each arrangement presents listeners with fresh takes on familiar songs that you have to hear to imagine. Doors at 6:30 pm; program begins at 7 pm. Refreshments will be available.
