Bassist Mimi Jones
Nite Bjuti at CultureHub, 9/17/22
For the more than two decades she’s been on the scene, bassist/vocalist/producer/label owner and now filmmaker Mimi Jones has reigned supreme, as a side woman to an impressive coterie of musicians and as a leader with three CDs on her own label, (Hot Tone Music) featuring the Mimi Jones Band.

Nite Bjuti (pronounced "Night Beauty") is a woman-led improvisatory trio using vocalism, electronic improvisation, Haitian drum rhythms, and bass to create narrative sonic journeys that provoke mixed media. Nite Bjuti spans jazz idiom, Haitian voudon, acoustic/electric bass, turntables and electronics. In 2021, they collaborated virtually with maestro Wayne Shorter. Candice Hoyes writes poetry, sings, and plays looper. Val Jeanty plays Korg Wavedrum, Vestax Controller VCI-400, Roland handsonic, and sensory percussion. Mimi Jones plays acoustic and electric basses. Winners of 2020 NYC Women's Fund, Nite Bjuti debuted at Jazz at Lincoln Center in 2018, and was hailed by JazzTimes, "the biggest revelation of [2020 NYC WinterJazzfest]."

@Seward Park, Amphitheater at Library Plaza
(Jefferson Street & East Broadway, Manhattan)
On the occasion of the 815th birthday of the beloved Sufi mystic and poet Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad Mevlana Rūmī, we invite you to join us for an intimate evening of art, poetry reading, and dance under the direction of Sufi dance artist Paola García, accompanied by live music by Hadi Eldebek and Mohamad Eldebek of the Brooklyn Nomads, at the L-Private Gallery, 98 Mott St #600 in Little Italy/Chinatown.
FEATURED DANCERS
Paola García, Danielle Karabos, Fanny Pérez Gutiérrez, Wendi Wang
VISUAL ARTISTS
Loy Luo, Mina Omidi, Fanny Pérez Gutiérrez
Let's come together to empty our minds of all thoughts of the individual self and practice divine listening, connecting with the still center within, around which we turn. Into this emptiness we invite the flood of divine fullness, which sometimes gives rise to a state known as “mystical intoxication,” a reflection of knowing and experiencing that you and I and the Divine are One.
Please bring and wear your mask, and socks or slippers if you would like to try whirling.
Doors open 7pm.
Ritual/performance starts 7:30pm.
You might not be able to enter after 7:30pm.
