Steelpan Jazz
at the House of Jazz at Lincoln Center
New
York - The 2007 version of the annual Steelpan
Jazz Concert at the House of Jazz at Lincoln
Center is in the history books. The crowd was
ready, the showground was ready and the artists
delivered. Robert Greenidge, Ralph MacDonald
and David Rudder - the show's headliners - left
the crowd calling for more. Indeed, another
successful show for the event producers Abstract
Entertainment Inc. (AEI), whose name has become
synonymous with high level successful music
events.

Higher Levin
& Meyer Levin Steel Orchestras-
Still Reaching for Higher Heights
Brooklyn, New York - The Higher Levin Steel Orchestra, and the sixth, seventh and eighth grade steel orchestras at host institution Meyer Levin - IS (Intermediate School) 285 - are still reaching for the 'higher heights,' and show no sign of looking back at all.
If anything, Meyer Levin's 4th Annual All Star Culture Shock held on June 15, served notice that the upcoming pannists are proud to be part of the Meyer Levin legacy, under the proud stewardship of director Tichard Chapman. Beaming parents, family, faculty and fellow Meyer Levin students filled the auditorium to capacity for more than two hours of entertainment put on by talented youngsters and teens in the form of skits, song, dance and poetry, with the steel orchestra providing full musical accompaniment for the vocalists. As he had done at the Winter concert, Principal Edward Gentile would also join the cast once again and serenade the audience with Frank Sinatra's classic My Way, with the full backing of the steel orchestra.
