TAKE IT TO THE FRIDGE!

TAKE IT TO THE FRIDGE!

Johnny Frigo may sound like the name of a French pioneer of Electronic Cold Wave, but he was actually a highly appreciated American jazz violinist (and sometime bassist) who had played with musicians and singers as diverse as Tommy Dorsey, Helen Merrill, Martin Denny, Della Reese, Ken Nordine, Anita O’Day, Monty Alexander, John & Bucky Pizzarelli, The Chi-Lites, Kurt Elling, Mahalia Jackson and Curtis Mayfield. Fabiana Striffler will be paying tribute to him in the company of Zola Mennenöh and Greg Cohen (Does he need introducing? He’s supplied unforgettable basslines for John Zorn, Bill Frisell, Dave Douglas, Lou Reed, Tom Waits, Laurie Anderson and countless others). Donau115 in Neukölln is the place to be on Saturday, June 18, at 20:30, so get there early if you don’t want to get stuck inside the refrigerator because there’s no other space left…
