>guitar virtuoso Stanley jordon at TOAD's PLACE at 300 York St in New Haven
>on Thursday, July 16 at 9:00 p.m.  David and Warren will be celebrating the
>official release of their new album, AVADIM HAYINU--Once we were slaves. 
>This is a collaborative project that involves the fusing of two traditions,
>Jewish and African-American sacred music, and interpreting these works
>through the jazz language.  In the process the music becomes something
>contemplative nad moves beyond the traditional categories of jazz or sacred
>music.  The album contains such pieces as Ani Ma'amin, Avadim Hayinu,
>Precious Lord and The Lord Will Make a Way Somehow.  Admission is $28, but
>reduced tickets can be obtained from David Chevan, Box 6183, Hamden Ct
