**The arts and music presenter Ars Nova Workshop, in partnership with FringeArts,
has announced the finalized lineup for the October Revolution of Jazz & Contemporary
Music to be held in Philadelphia, Pa. on October 5-8, 2017. **

Among the artists slated to appear are: Anthony Braxton; Sun Ra Arkestra; Art Ensemble
of Chicago; Tim Berne’s Snakeoil; Mike Reed’s Flesh & Bone; and many others.

The festival was inspired by Bill Dixon’s DIY jazz festival – The October Revolution
in Jazz – produced in 1964 in New York City.  That event featured many of the artists
who have been presented by Ars Nova over the years, including Dixon, Burton Greene,
Paul  Bley and Sun Ra.

In a press release received at _JT_, Ars Nova executive director Mark Christman 
said, “In this kind of landscape, in which music of all kinds can play a central
role, the participants do not listen _for_ something.” He added, “They are focusing
instead on the experience of listening itself—tuning in.”

The festival will be held at FringeArts’ waterfront headquarters, as well as at 
several other venues in the area, including the Race Street Pier, Christ Church 
Neighborhood House, and the Christ Church Sanctuary.
