Known for his work with many jazz greats (Ray Anderson, Gerry Hemingway, Anthony Braxton, Julius Hemphill, Cuong Vu, and Mose Alison), Helias also shares his passion for music through his teaching at Sarah Lawrence College,The New School, and SIM (School for Improvised Music).
Having played in Chicago's popular Umbrella Fest on Nov.6, Helias played two sets at Mexicains Sans Frontieres on Sunday starting at 8 p.m. Blue Lake Radio will recorded the show for later broadcast. In addition to the Grand Rapids appearance, Helias will be appearing at Kerrytown Concert House in Ann Arbor tonight (Monday, Nov.8).
This event will be a rare opportunity to see Helias perform live in a solo performance setting.
I moved from the Metro Detroit area to Grand Rapids in October 2009, and fell in love with the Rapidian right away. I like how the Rapidian is an invaluable tool for contributing to the community, meeting new friends, and discovering new places and events in Grand Rapids. I am always looking for an excuse to point my camera at something interesting and capture a good story. Feel free to contact me with your ideas, events, and opportunities. Or just to say "hi" and make friends. MY EMAIL IS scottwarren.grandrapids@gmail.com
Reports on: music, art, food, and whatever else strikes me fancy...
