ARLEN ASHER
5/7/29 - 10/2/20
Arlen Asher was the centerpiece of the Jazz scene in Northern New Mexico for more than six decades, and this Friday, May 7th would have been his 92nd birthday. He was a master musician, inspiring educator, exemplary family man, KSFR jazz host, and SFMC board member in addition to being the most beautiful human being anyone ever met. SFMC is honored to play a role in his 92nd Birthday Tribute, brought to you by The Outpost and The New Mexico Musicians Coalition.
The video premier will begin on Friday May 7th and run through May 31st. Tickets are available through the Outpost website at www.outpostspace.org. They are priced at whatever you can afford and most importantly all proceeds go to support the Jazz Education program that Arlen founded in 1996.
Thank you to all who contributed their time and talent to make this amazing video and thank you for helping us honor our beloved friend Arlen Asher.
SONNY ROLLINS
Grammy award winning composer and Saxophone Colossus Sonny Rollins has had one of the most illustrious careers in jazz to date. His more than sixty year contribution has given the jazz world a massive body of recorded music and some immortal jazz compositions. He recorded over sixty albums as a leader plus numerous records as a sideman. Although he is not able to perform anymore, at the age of 89 Sonny is a living jazz treasure and graciously embraces his new role of wise elder statesman.
Enjoy this great documentary, plus some recently found rare footage at Ronnie Scotts from 1974…..
