Dennis Gonzalez, legend of the New Jazz genre leads one of the few free-, ethnic-, and improvisational-jazz groups in the North Texas region, the trio Yells At Eels; amazing since he hails from the same area as the likes of Ornette Coleman, Charles Moffett, Dewey Redman, Ronald Shannon Jackson, and the late Prince Lasha. The trio Yells At Eels started playing in 1999 and are still going strong a decade later. Gonzalez has released 35 CD's as a leader with legends such as Famoudou Don Moye, Charles Brackeen, Reggie Workman, Oliver Lake, Alvin Fielder, Malachi Favors, Ahmed Abdullah. Yells At Eels itself has released four CD's: "Home", a double disk titled "Pictogram/Home Away From Home", and the most recent release, called "Geografia", produced by Aaron and Stefan Gonzalez, Gonzalez's sons, who play bass and drums, respectively, in the trio.

If you've ever put your support behind something spectacular and subtle, Aaron could use your support now...
Legendary Jazz pianist Dave Burrell is coming to Sandaga African Market, 1325 E. Levee (a few blocks west of downtown Dallas), a week from tonight, Saturday, December 12...doors at 8 pm.
It's a bit more expensive than your usual punk or noise, or even jazz show, so save up your money for this one ($15 - it's OK, you'll live!). Let's make this a beautiful event.
