The Freedom Party!

The Freedom Party and candidates represent the concerns of ordinary working and poor people that neither Cuomo (Democratic candidate) nor Paladino (Republican) care about. With a painfully high rate of unemployment in both Black and Latino communities, above 25%, voters are increasingly expressing a need for a really independent alternative to the whites-in-leadership-only Democratic and Republican parties.

Sistas' Place, 456 Nostrand Avenue (corner of Jefferson Ave.) where Jazz: A Music of the Spirit Lives and Culture is a Weapon, continues its 17th season and its own Central Brooklyn Jazz Festival with Ahmed Ahmedian and his Diaspora! This stellar band includes Ahmed Abdullah as bandleader and trumpet; Alex Harding, baritone saxophone; D.D.Jackson, piano; bassist Radu, bass; Reggie Nicholson, drums; Miles Griffith, vocals, and Monique Ngozi Nri, vocals & poetry on Saturday, May 12th, 2012, at 9 and 10:30pm.

We remember the late, great poet, Louis Reyes Rivera. Additionally, we celebrate Ahmed Abdullah's 65 years young birthday!

Once in a while Ahmed Abdullah switches hats from that of music director of Sistas' Place to that of trumpeter/bandleader. This Saturday is such an occasion and the band will include some of the foundational members of the band. Alex Harding will be back, on break from touring with the great musical "Fela." Along with Alex will be D.D. Jackson, Radu and Reggie Nicholson keeping a strong rhythmic groove. Vocalist Miles Griffith adds his powerful lungs to the mix along with the vocals and poetry of Monique Ngozi Nri. Don't miss this opportunity to experience this leading jazz supergroup live!

Call 718 398-1766 for reservations. Admission $20 with reservations/$25 at the door.
