The 5th Wheel is the latest piece in a continuing collaboration between
legendary dancer/choreographer Carmen deLavallade and innovative
saxophonist/
composer Jane Ira Bloom. It explores the spatial and sonic relationships
between a dancer on wheels and a jazz quartet with one musician on the
loose.
The music based on Bloom's original piece Ice Dancing features a quartet of
renowned jazz improvisers including bassist Rufus Reid, drummer Jerry
Granelli,
and pianist Dawn Clement and is the springboard for Ms. deLavallade's
playful
and evocative choreography.

 
Bloom & deLavallade will also appear on a panel entitled  Dance & Music: A
Dynamic Dialogue  moderated by critic John Rockwell on Thursday, Sept 27,
6:30
7:30pm at City Center Studios, 130 West 56th St.). The discussion is free
and
open to the public.
