junk“KAT” & MODIANO
FUNKY- Jazz & Word, El Noise, and visuals
Reviews:
- "Yael Acher is a flutist who isn't about faking the funk. Instead of floating diaphanous tones on top of inncous smooth jazz, her hard-edged Junk Kat Modiano ensemble is run from the kick drum."- Time Out, New York.
- “…Acher raises the excitement level frequently by using overblowing techniques to ignite the collective voices”.- Cadence Magazine, Frank Rubolino, NYC.
-“…inheritance of post-hard-bop is specially original and convincing.” – Jazz Magazine, Thierry Quénum, Paris.
- “Very dense…highly original interaction between organic and non-organic….” – Berlingske Tidende, Kjeld Frandsen. Cph.
JUnk"KAT"&MODIANO played in NYC @ Blue Note, Iridium, BAMcafe, Bowery Poetry Club, Galapagos, Mercury’s Lounge, The Stone, etc.

TUESDAY, 3.3. 09 Join us early for the premiere of "Spanish Girls Are Beautiful" at 9pm!
OPEN BAR FROM 8:30-9:30
"
Spanish Girls Are Beautiful, a new short film from writer Gabrielle Rivera brings a hazy world of weed and women into sharp focus, with the intersection of urban and suburban, stoop and subdivision serving as a background to the story of Taylor, Jayla, and the friends and lovers that keep the smoke flowing and the tension growing.
An all female ensemble cast throws down a real picture of two would-be lovers living in totally different worlds. Beautiful, mellow Jayla is wound tight around Easy, her AG girlfriend who keeps the Bronx couple together--one nickelbag at a time. Taylor, a Westchester babydyke who has her own relationship baggage--and a shiny SUV to fit it all in. Between house parties, bedroom bickering, and bumpin' backseats, Jayla and Taylor draw closer together, playing on the edges of what holds them so far apart. "
