\"This is an exciting time to present music in Greenwich Village. The question needs attention every year: What is new and what is classical? The Mel Powell centenary<\/strong> puts this question into relief. Powell\u2019s career covered so many facets of post-war American music from bobby-soxer fare for the Benny Goodman Orchestra, to psychedelia at the Electric Circus, to his later modernist works. We honor one of America\u2019s most daring and original composers, Scott Johnson<\/strong>, who died earlier this year, with a performance of his \u201cBowery Haunt\u201d for two electric guitars, written for me and Oren Fader. In his own brilliant, unique way, Johnson was the bridge between the \u201cuptown\u201d and \u201cdowntown\u201d factions of New York composers\u201d<\/p>\n
