Paul Reisler & A Thousand Questions featuring Howard Levy

A benefit for Kid Pan Alley songwriting residencies in Richmond Schools
Sponsored by Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Statewide Artists Program and Kid Pan Alley

Paul Reisler & A Thousand Questions—a thousand questions, a thousand answers all hidden mysteriously in the music of their album, At Night the Roses Tango. A new band—an astonishing collaboration featuring Paul Reisler, founder of Trapezoid and Kid Pan Alley, Howard Levy of the Flecktones and vocalist Amy Speace. For this concert, they will be joined by master percussionist Joe Craven formerly of the David Grisman Quintet. Music made for the sheer joy of making great music—an album of 12 original songs and two instrumentals written by Reisler along with some of his favorite co-writers. It’s a direct and emotional music that cuts across borders—combining American roots, world music eclecticism, classical precision and mysticism with the vitality and energy of contemporary pop music. Music that the Washington Post says "climbs up the Blue Ridge and down to the bayou and back up the Himalaya's."

Thanks to the Richmond Symphony and JAMinc for their help in presenting this concert.
