DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, June 28\, 2007\n7pm\n\nPresented in collaboration wi
 th the Japanese American Cultural and Community Center\nPlaza\, Japanese A
 merican Cultural and Community Center*\n244 South San Pedro Street (betwee
 n 2nd &amp\; 3rd Streets)\nLos Angeles (Little Tokyo)\, CA 90012\nInformat
 ion: 213.680.3700\n\n<strong>Enzo Avitabile</strong> is the spirit of Ital
 ian soul. For more than twenty years\, the Naples-born saxophonist and flu
 tist has been a star on the Italian jazz scene\, performing with everyone 
 from James Brown to Hugh Masekela. A master musician and keen observer\, i
 n 2001\, he heard the music of <strong>Bottari</strong> from southern Ital
 y's Campania Region. To call Bottari unique is an understatement in the ex
 treme. Playing the centuries old traditional rhythms of pastellesas and ta
 rantellas\, their infectious sound is produced from striking barrels and v
 ats and hitting scythes with steel sticks. Led by Pasquale Romano\, Bottar
 i found a kindred spirit in Avitabile and soon they were exploring the pos
 sibilities of a partnership that would respect traditional Italian music e
 ven as they sought to innovate it. The result is a body of original songs 
 written in a Neapolitan dialect that connects past to present\, giving new
  life to music from the region. Their music is mesmerizing\, fresh\, and u
 nmistakable. For their debut West Coast performance\, Avitabile will be jo
 ined by 17 members of Bottari.
