SUMMARY:The Joe Alterman Trio
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Empire Mills for an extraordinary jazz show featuring The Joe Alterman Trio. Immerse yourself in their downbeat sound\, deeply rooted in the blues\, and reminiscent of iconic 1950s pianists like Red Garland\, Ahmad Jamal\, and Bill Evans. \nExperience the ambiance of a jazz club while enjoying a “sweet intermission” dessert reception curated by Hallie Jane\, founder of Empire Mills. Sip on drinks from our cash bar as you enjoy the music. \nYour ticket and drink purchases support the Beautiful Minds Foundation\, providing financial support to neurodivergent students in Georgia. \nDon’t miss this captivating evening of jazz\, delectable treats\, and making a difference. This is a limited capacity event\, so make sure to secure your tickets early to guarantee your spot. \nThis event is 18+ \nMore About Joe Alterman \nAtlanta native Joe Alterman expresses a certain upbeat naivete\, with a broad smile and bright eyes that make you feel welcome. One would not guess that this is a man hailed by greats; Ramsey Lewis describes his music as “happy music with tasty meat on the bones.” \nJoe Alterman began at NYU with a BA and Masters in Jazz Piano from NYU and has since performed at many world renowned venues including the Kennedy Center\, Lincoln Center\, Birdland and Blue Note alongside Houston Person\, Les McCann\, Dick Gregory\, Ramsey Lewis\, and his own trio\, among others. \nBut there is more to the story\, of course. The 21st century has brought another transition for this thing called jazz; in one moment we see the push and pull between tradition and progression\, and in another we see Pop and Hip-Hop musicians emulating and sampling. In Joe Alterman we find none of this struggle; the music just sounds good. Our conscious faculties are instantly disabled as we tap our feet\, feeling the intent and joy of his playing. An old classic is new when you feel good in the moment. Or\, as Hentoff wrote about Alterman in the Wall Street Journal\, “Alterman’s continually evolving presence on the jazz scene surely makes people smile and\, if the room is right\, dance. There’ll be no need for any last rites of jazz.” \nRead more about Joe here!

Eventually moving to New York City\, Joe formed his own group\, which performed in Brooklyn each week and included the venerable guitarist Joe Cohn and ex-Betty Carter bassist\, Matt Hughes. \nJoe plays weekly in venues all around Atlanta\, and has gained a loyal following including an array of people who love great music and a good night out. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Ferst Readers of Morgan County\nFerst Readers of Morgan County was founded right down the street from Empire Mills in 1999\, by Robin Ferst Marhaver with the mission to provide children with free books to read every month. \nThe program began modestly\, serving around 250 children and has since grown to over 10\,000 children receiving 200\,000 books in Morgan County alone. Ferst programs now reach more than 100 communities in 9 states with 50\,000 books reaching the homes of children under 5 every month. Each Ferst program is made up of a local “Community Action Team” (CAT) who raise funds\, identify and register children. They regularly read to kindergarten and pre-school age children and meet with parents & caregivers to model best reading practices. Each book contains a newsletter for parents in both English & Spanish. \nFerst Readers prides themselves on the fact that their generous communities have made it possible to provide every child ever registered with books for 23 years…and counting!
