Hot Ticket: Catch the acts of Beat Circus
By JOHN FLEMING
Published May 12, 2005
Trumpeter Brian Carpenter moved from Florida to Boston in 2001 to play improvised music and make a movie about jazz legend Albert Ayler. Now Carpenter is back in Florida with Beat Circus, the band he put together in Boston; it performs Saturday at Tropical Heatwave and Sunday on the Emit series at the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg.
In December, Boston Phoenix jazz critic Jon Garelick named Beat Circus to his top 10 list, saying that Carpenter had created "a band with a decidedly Fellini-esque bent who allude to Nino Rota, Kurt Weill and the American circus music of Karl King. They even deconstruct Rodgers & Hammerstein's The Lonely Goatherd."
The Sunday concert is at 8 p.m. in the Dali's main gallery. $5-$10. (727) 823-3767.
