WORLD CAN'T WAIT was awarded "Most Valuable Crusade" of 2007 by the Nation magazine. World Can't Wait seeks to organize people to take responsibility to stop the whole disastrous course led by the Bush administration, to create a political situation where the Bush administration's program is repudiated, where Bush himself is driven from office and where the whole direction he has been taking U.S. society is reversed.
Featuring: Rick parker - trombone;
Dave Binney - alto sax;
Xavier Perez - tenor sax;
John Chin - piano;
Gavin Fallow - bass;
Kyle Struve - drums

Grandmothers Against the War was founded 4-1/2 years ago by Joan Wile, a grandmother of 5. Among their many activities, they were arrested and jailed when trying to enlist at the Times Square recruiting center in Oct., 2005. They've traveled to Europe and to Washington to press the ant-war case. They hold vigils, demonstrations, protests, all sorts of actions, and do shows written mostly by Joan. In short, these are some hip grannies!
Music by The RUSSELL BRANCA QUINTET Russell Branca - bass, Jerome Sabbagh - sax, Tom Beckham - vibes, Heather Bennett - piano, ken salters - drums
There will be TWO JMP concerts this Fall at
The Bowery Poetry Club.

ADMISSION: $8 dollars + 1 drink minimum.
ADVANCE TICKETS AVAILABLE: We are now making it possible to buy advance tickets and we urge you to do so. This makes our planning much easier and gets more money to the Peace Organizations we support. With advance ticket sales we can organize more elaborate events. We hope this is the wave of the future! To get your tickets you can contact any one of the four great peace organizations below. A ticket is good for either of the two events this fall.
Proceeds from these events go to BROOKLYN FOR PEACE, WORLD CAN'T WAIT, PEACE ACTION NY, THE WAR RESISTERS LEAGUE

On May 22nd ARIA APERTA launched a unique experiment that aimed to bring together New York City's jazz community and the peace activist community. Each week a great jazz group performed and a great NYC grassroots peace organization was honored.
