Arthur Lipner's career has spanned three decades and he has emerged as one of the leading vibes and marimba voices of today. As such he is one of the few musicians carrying the message of jazz mallets into the 21st century. Arthur’s live performances and recorded projects convey an exuberant drive of creativity and depth. His travels around the globe as a jazz musician and percussionist have delighted audiences and critics alike. Of a recent live performance, the Chronicle Herald (Nova Scotia) wrote, “Lipner belongs to that rare category of master player that includes Art Tatum and Oscar Peterson.”
Arthur’s quest for new musical experiences in his life knows no boundaries. The venues at which Arthur has appeared is mind-boggling: aside from concert halls and jazz clubs and recording studios around the world, he has performed with Tuvan Throat Singers from Russia, The National Dance Company of Ghana in a small rural village, in the streets of Rio de Janeiro for Carnival, in Chiapas Mexico where today’s marimba has it’s roots, at the Royal Palace in Marrakesh, and high in the mountains of Norway on an ice xylophone he constructed with Bill Covitz (former Grand Champion of The National Ice Carving Association). In recent months, Arthur has performed at legendary NY nightspots, including the Blue Note and the Iridium.
Presented by the Levitt Pavilion as part of the Celebration Sundays Series sponsored by Jewish Senior Services: The Barons (7/12), Dr. K's Motown Revue (7/19), Incendio (7/26), Arthur Lipner & Brasilian Vibes (8/2), and Peacherine Ragtime Society Orchestra (8/9).
