Jeff Greene Performs at the Toronto Storytelling Festival
Friday, March 26 @ 7pm-9:30pm

As part of the Toronto Festival of Storytelling this Friday night, Jeff Greene will be performing on multiple percussions instruments as Diane Wolkstein tells the epic story, "The Monkey King."

Tickets are $15 and $20. Click here for more info.

"'Monkey King' is an epic, full of drama and magic, but it is also a hugely entertaining story. Diane Wolkstein does not just tell the story: she channels the main figures, becomes the Monkey King and the priest to a startling degree: one could describe them as if one had actually seen them. Drama is blended with comic episodes as this sumptuous story fill the stage. Without digital images, or projector, or any of the usual trappings, the audience is offered the most vivid reality, and time passes with amazing speed. The result is a rich and satisfying evening..."
—Olivier Bernier, Lecturer, Metropolitan Museum of Art

Strange Cousin Reviewed in Huffington Post

Ian Merkel of Modiba, a social-activist international music company based in New York City, wrote a wonderful article, "TriBeCaStan In Manhattan Unleashes Uzbek Lutes, Pakistani Taxi Horns, And Six Foot Shepherd's Pipes," for the Huffington Post.

"Welcome to TriBeCaStan, a country without borders tucked away in a corner of downtown Manhattan.

"Trying to describe TriBeCaStan's music or relegating it to a genre would be incredibly difficult, and, as the artists would contend, futile. Greene commonly describes it as intergalactic, but not so much in the Sun Ra extraterrestrial kind of way. This music is really about the cross-fertilization of musical idioms that Kruth and Greene have been exposed to in their travels, and the ways in which these idioms allow them to express the diversity that surrounds them in their very own New York. Some have asked why they play 'peasant music in an affluent zip code,' and their music has responded with the idea that homogeny is neither representative for our present nor characteristic of a progressive future."

Jeff Greene grew up listening to music, from the blues in his boyhood Chicago to the eastern modal music he encountered hitchhiking across the Sahara Desert as a teenager. When a project in Nashville led him to rediscover American roots music, he dug a little deeper and traced it back to its Celtic traditions, which in turn led to a whole world of folk music from all over Europe—back through the Balkans and Klezmer music, back
to the Ottoman Empire and beyond, to Persia and the Indian subcontinent . . . and
back again to jazz, that uniquely American musical invention.

As this curiosity grew into an insatiable pursuit, Jeff started EverGreene Music as a
way for each of us to explore our heritage and celebrate each of these diverse
musical influences. One lifetime is simply too short to explore them all. An open mind
is all that’s required.
