It's been a while since we've had a "coming attractions" post, and a couple of major concerts for the first part of 2007 have been announced in the interim.* The Pageant has announced that the singular jazz-bluegrass-world music band Bela Fleck and the Flecktones will be returning to St. Louis for a concert on Monday, February 5. Tickets go on sale at 5 p.m. this Friday, December 8, via Ticketmaster and the Pageant box office.
* Guitarist Pat Metheny (pictured) and pianist Brad Mehldau will do a three-week tour in the spring in support of their recent collaborative CD Metheny/Mehldau, and they're coming to St. Louis on Wednesday, April 4 to perform at the Sheldon Concert Hall. The show isn't on the Sheldon's Web site yet, but it is listed on a number of others, including Metheny's site, various tour-tracking sites including Pollstar, and the site of jazz mega-manager/booking agent Ted Kurland and Associates, so I'd say it looks like a done deal.
* Finally, though I'd guess the information has been out there for a while, I've just noticed that the Arts and Issues series at SIU-Edwardsville has a couple of events coming up that are of interest to jazz listeners. The eclectic woodwind ensemble Imani Winds, part of the Josephine Baker tribute that played the Edison Theater here last Spring, will give a concert of their own music at SIU-E on Wednesday, January 24. The series has also scheduled an appearance by the Glenn Miller Orchestra on Saturday, April 28.
