Hey Folks –
I’ve worked up a show for Wednesday, October 29 that presents a unique, talented jazz musician: Khabu – that fact is underlined, perhaps, by the fact that he performs with ukuleles.
I’ll be doing a few song backed by Khabu, as will Jodi Mathews (uke) & Dan Sagraves (bass). The majority of the show will be Khabu.
Below is the show information, a flyer, and a bio.
I hope you can attend!!

Khabu bio:
Khabu Doug Young
Musing Ukulele
1.
Khabu Doug Young has recently been commissioned by the Armour Foundation to compose new works for the ukulele for the second consecutive year. He has worked on guitar and uke with a wide range of musicians (such as Art Lande and Paul McCandless) plus actors, dancers, poets and visual artists.
Khabu will be performing compositions & improvisations developed during his Armour Foundation Sabbatical, often featuring audience interaction. Additionally, he will draw upon his favorite songs from the jazz repertoire, particularly the music of Thelonious Monk, Steve Lacy, and Khabu’s long-time mentor/cohort Art Lande. Also included will be rock/blues/folk-inspired music from The Beatles, Cat Stevens, Jimi Hendrix, etc.
2.
Ukulele player Khabu creates music with a spirit of collaboration and interaction, exploring the continuum between improvisation and composition, sculpting sounds into musical journeys of the unknown. Born Doug Young in Lubbock, TX, he grew up in Houston and became known as Khabu while attending the High School For The Performing And Visual Arts (HSPVA). After two semesters at William Paterson College (Wayne, NJ), in hopes of being close to the NYC jazz scene, he found his way instead to Boulder, CO. While there, The Naropa Institute provided fertile ground for integrating his diverse interests in Tai Chi, Buddhist meditation, improvised music, health & healing, and anthropology. He soon became an adjunct faculty member and formed The Russian Dragon Band with Art Lande. Khabu later moved to New York City to work with artists from all disciplines: theater, dance, spoken word, film, as well as musicians of many styles (often with unique instrumentation). He has toured the US, Canada, Europe, and India with musicians such as Art Lande and Paul McCandless. He is a founding member of The Creative Music Workshop and currently resides in the East Village with his wife and four-year old daughter.
