The most prominent baritone saxophonist of his generation, Hamiet Bluiett (b 1940) combines a blunt, modestly inflected attack with a fleet, aggressive technique, and a uniform hugeness of sound that extends from his horn's lowest reaches to far beyond what is usually its highest register In St Louis in the 1960s, Bluiett co-founded the Black Artists' Group (BAG), an artist collective not unlike Chicago's AACM And, in 1969, he moved to New York City to join the Charles Mingus Quintet and the Sam Rivers Large Ensemble In 1976 he co-founded the World Saxophone Quartet (along with two other Black Artists' Group members, Julius Hemphill and Oliver Lake), which soon became jazz music's most renowned saxophone quartet Over the years, Bluiett has also worked with Babatunde Olatunji, Abdullah Ibrahim, Stevie Wonder, and Marvin Gaye Kahil El'Zabar (b1953) is one of Chicago's jazz treasures He joined the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) in the early 1970s, and became its chairman in 1975 He regularly records for Chicago's Delmark Records and, during the 1970s, he formed the acclaimed ensembles Ritual Trio and the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble, both of which remain active today El'Zabar has performed alongside a myriad of jazz greats such as Cannonball Adderley, Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp and Dizzy Gillespie, but also in the bands of Stevie Wonder and Nina Simone

Cerulean Arts is excited to present the exhibition Michael, Where are You? Altered States of North America, featuring recent paintings, prints and mixed media works on paper by Michael Kowbuz How one really looks at the world around us is at the heart of Kowbuz’s vision Through his work, he seeks to turn our mediated view of the world inside out Kowbuz first captures his subjects – people posing with their vehicles, fleeting reflections in windows, somber urban views – in photographs Using a grid and working square by square, he transforms the mechanically-reproduced image back into something unique with subtle qualities of color, light, temperature and texture He hopes his work poses the question “What is real?” Originally from Canada, Kowbuz received his Master of Fine Arts from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1996; previously he earned a Master of Arts in Community College Teaching and a Bachelor of Fine Arts He is the Director of Continuing Education Programs and an adjunct faculty member at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and co-proprietor of Cerulean Arts Gallery and Studio Michael, Where are You? Altered States of North America is on view November 18 – January 8, 2010 and is free and open to the public The opening reception is Friday, November 20 from 5-9 pm The artist will be available to answer questions about his work Saturday, December 19, 1-4 pm with a gallery talk at 2pm Additionally, Michael Kowbuz will conduct a weekend workshop “Ink Wash Drawing” on January 2 and 3, 2010 from 9 am–12 pm
