There S Plenty To See This Weekend At The Hothouse S Old And New Dreams Festival

You might’ve been able to glean from some of my Soundboard items that this is a pretty busy weekend, jazzwise. On Saturday night trumpeter Russ Johnson brings his excellent Eric Dolphy project to Constellation, but the big action is happening mostly at Hyde Park’s Promontory, where HotHouse makes a splash from beyond the grave with the Old and New Dreams Festival, an action-packed three-day event where the venue founded by Marguerite Horberg will make some kind of announcement about its return to a new location in Bronzeville, although I’m betting details will be sparse. In any case, the lineup for Promontory is impressive. In this week’s paper I wrote about the David Murray concert on Friday and a rare pairing of Pharoah Sanders and the Chicago Underground Duo on Saturday, but there are some other promising sets as well.
