The ensemble, which began to attract international attention in the 1980’s for its unique fusing of elements of world music with the aesthetics of the jazz avant-garde, received a Grammy nomination in 1991 for the album “Signs Of Life” (Antilles) and helped launch the careers of fellow Berkeleyans Joshua Redman, Benny Green, Craig Handy and Steven Bernstein, among others. The current version of the ensemble, now in its 43rd year and known as New York Hieroglyphics, released “It Is Written” in 2005 and toured an extended work, “Aural Histories” (commissioned by Chamber Music America), throughout the U.S. in 2008-2009.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn influential figure in new jazz for over three decades, Apfelbaum has worked with some of the leading figures in contemporary music, including the late Don Cherry (whose group, Multikulti, Apfelbaum was Musical Director of from 1989-1995), Cecil Taylor, Harry Belafonte, Omar Sosa, Bill Laswell and Phish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"loove labs","offers":[{"title":"March 07, 2026 07:00 PM \/ General Admission","offer_id":53029830295859,"sku":"2613463","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"March 07, 2026 07:00 PM \/ Student \/ Artist","offer_id":53029830328627,"sku":"2613464","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"March 07, 2026 07:00 PM \/ Supporter","offer_id":53029830361395,"sku":"2613465","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"March 07, 2026 09:00 PM \/ General Admission","offer_id":53029830394163,"sku":"2613466","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"March 07, 2026 09:00 PM \/ Student \/ Artist","offer_id":53029830426931,"sku":"2613467","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"March 07, 2026 09:00 PM \/ Supporter","offer_id":53029830459699,"sku":"2613468","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/8032\/3123\/files\/NYhieroglyphics-SQ_1.png?v=1776553812"},{"product_id":"peter-apfelbaum-hieroglyphics-quintet","title":"Peter Apfelbaum Hieroglyphics Quintet","description":"\u003ch2\u003ePETER APFELBAUM HIEROGLYPHICS QUINTET\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLive at LOOVE ANNEX — Saturday, August 8th\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDoors 7:30 · Music 8:00 · $15\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore the Hieroglyphics, “world jazz” didn't have a name. There was American jazz and African jazz, Latin jazz and European free jazz — Peter Apfelbaum wanted all of it. The band he founded at Berkeley High in 1977 went on to open for the Grateful Dead, record with Don Cherry, and send generations of players — Steven Bernstein, Benny Green, Craig Handy, Joshua Redman, Ambrose Akinmusire — out into the music. Nearly five decades on, the Hieroglyphics remain less a fixed lineup than a living language: polyrhythm, melody, and improvisation spoken fluently across borders. This August, that language comes to LOOVE ANNEX in its most intimate form — a quintet, up close, in a room built for listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePETER APFELBAUM — saxophones, flute, piano, percussion A visionary multi-instrumentalist, composer, and bandleader whose music has never been easy to categorize — and has never needed to be. On any given night he moves from tenor sax to flute to keys to a rope of dangling bells, sometimes within a single tune, conducting as much with his body as with a pen. His compositions — collected most recently on the New York Hieroglyphics' \u003cem\u003eIt Is Written\u003c\/em\u003e — are the band's real frontman: generous, rhythm-drunk, and built to be danced to as much as studied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJOSH ROSEMAN — trombone \u0026amp; electronics A trombonist of rare duality. Roseman's horn can be straight and buttery one phrase, then spectrally active the next — a herald's voice, muted, electrified, chorused, deployed fluidly and in sequence. It's a voice he developed across years with the Skatalites, Dave Holland, Don Byron, John Zorn, and Me'Shell Ndegeocello, and on his own recordings (\u003cem\u003eCherry\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eTreats for the Nightwalker\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eNew Constellations\u003c\/em\u003e), where groove music and dub-space are treated as serious compositional terrain. Here, with electronics extending the horn, he plays both sections — brass and atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDAVID PHELPS — guitar The Hieroglyphics' longest-serving guitarist and, by several accounts, its smiliest. Phelps grew up in Denton, Texas, started on bass, and went on to study with Dave Liebman and Dave Holland; his playing carries both lineages — the lyric and the drive. Heard on \"It Is Written,\" leading his own Eclectic Troubadours, and co-founding International Orange, he plays the guitar less as a chordal instrument than as a second horn line, always inside the melody, always smiling at it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMARCELO PÉREZ — drums The youngest member of the band and, like Apfelbaum and Garabedian, a Berkeley native. Pérez took over the Hieroglyphics' drum chair at Winter Jazzfest and promptly won the room with a solo that the crowd wouldn't let go of. His playing carries the Afro-diasporic pulse at the center of this music — not as decoration but as first language — and he holds the rare quality in a young drummer of making deep groove feel quiet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOAH GARABEDIAN — bass A large, kind spirit, and his sound mirrors that. Raised in Berkeley, trained in ethnomusicology at UCLA and at NYU, a John Coltrane National Scholarship winner and Thelonious Monk Institute finalist, Garabedian plays the bass the way he moves through the world — warmly, unhurriedly, and with room for everyone else in it. A bandleader himself (and a member of the trio collective Ember), he is the floor this quintet stands on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaturday, August 8th at LOOVE ANNEX.
