The Twilight of Bohemia also explores the changing notions of what it means to be a successful artist and the heartbreaking difficulty of surviving as one at our present cultural moment. \nREVIEW EXCERPTS\n“Who would have thought that a book about artist housing in Lower Manhattan would be impossible to put down? The force and beauty and clarity of Peter Trachtenberg’s writing is what makes The Twilight of Bohemia a page-turner about so much more than the characters we meet and the lost world of New York City that it so vividly evokes.”\n— Francine Prose\, Vixen \n“Reading The Twilight of Bohemia\, I had the feeling that its subject—a complex of buildings—had been condensed into book form through some Borgesian literary-alchemical process. This work is elegiac\, intimate\, and wry. Trachtenberg tells interlacing tales of an architectural entity\, artists who have lived as neighbors for fifty years\, an art world that now only exists in New York City’s rear-view mirror\, and a friendship that began in youth and ended with suicide in Westbeth. But the book is also a true historical document\, detailed and precise. And completely crucial.” – Nelly Reifler\, Elect H. Mouse State Judge \n“Beautiful! How often have you read a great book and thought\, ‘Why can’t I live there? Why can’t I live that story?’ . . . Trachtenberg has artfully\, tenderly\, and wisely recreated New York City’s legendary Westbeth artists’ community through the stories of dozens of artists who lived there\, himself included. The result is a messy tale of love and loss anchored in the equally messy act of creation. . . . It is a story that left this reader hungering for more.”\n— Mary Gabriel\, Ninth Street Women: Lee Krasner\, Elaine de Kooning\, Grace Hartigan\, Joan Mitchell\, and Helen Frankenthaler: Five Painters and the Movement That Changed Modern Art \nBIO\nPeter Trachtenberg is the author of the memoir 7 Tattoos\, The Book of Calamities: Five Questions About Suffering and Its Meaning\, and Another Insane Devotion\, a 2012 New York Times Editors’ Choice. His honors include Whit­ing and Guggenheim Fellowships and the Nelson Algren Award for Short Fiction. He is a professor emeritus in the Writing Program of the University of Pittsburgh. He has been connected to Westbeth since the 1970s and lived in the building from 1995 to 2006.

The intuitive\, spontaneous nature of the music between the musicians in the Quartet is deeply rooted in the traditions that come out of the Free Bop era created in the “Moment Of Now!” \n\n\nJOHN MENEGON (bass & compositions)\nSTEVE EINERSON (piano)\nPETE SMITH (guitar)\nMATT GARRITY (drums)\nspecial guest ANGUS MENEGON (voice\, synthesizers & compositions) \nJOHN MENEGON (bass & compositions)\n“New York bassist JOHN MENEGON is in the line of George Mraz and Michael Moore; a harmonically sophisticated bassist with technical facility who swings hard when it’s called for.” Kirk Silsbee\, DOWNBEAT!\nMenegon is a jazz bassist\, but is also a guitarist\, arranger\, singer\, and composer. He began his career as a musician in Montreal before moving to New York City\, where he spent ten years as bassist for two legendary tenor saxophonists\, Dewey Redman and David “Fathead” Newman. This experience provided a solid foundation for Menegon to continue his explorations as a bandleader\, composer and arranger\, and he has been composing and arranging music throughout his career. Menegon has released 6 recordings as a bandleader\, and his latest recording\, SOUND EMBRACE\, was released in 2024 on Valley Jazz Records. It features Jean-Michel Pilc on piano\, Chet Doxas on sax\, and Jim Doxas on drums. Here is what Abe Goldstein had to say about John’s latest recording on his blog PAPATAMUS REDUX (NOV 2024): “Although he is known primarily for his bass playing with folks such as David Fathead Newman\, Dewey Redman\, Joe Lovano\, and other notable musicians (not to mention his own recordings)\, Sound Embrace showcases Menegon’s exceptional writing skills. Let’s not forget the strong\, lyrical and harmonically- advanced bass playing of Menegon as a soloist or intuitively interacting with the ensemble.”\n@johnmenegonjazz \nSTEVE EINERSON (piano)\nPianist Steve Einerson originally hails from Milwaukee (WI) where he spent three formative years studying with David Hazeltine. After freelancing in the Milwaukee/Chicago circuit for several years\, he relocated to New York City in 2004\, fresh off the heels of being selected as a finalist to compete in the national jazz piano competition sponsored by the American Pianists Association. Whether it’s solo piano\, small groups or big bands\, Steve now finds his services in NYC in high demand and has performed at venues and jazz festivals across the country and around the world. A sampling of some of the musicians he’s had the privilege of working with include Marlena Shaw\, Joe Farnsworth\, Philip Harper\, Killer Ray Appleton\, Slide Hampton\, Ian Hendrickson-Smith\, John Dokes\, Hilary Gardner\, Teri Roiger\, the George Gee Orchestra\, and the Cab Calloway Orchestra.\n@seinerson \nPETE SMITH (guitar)\n“Mr. Smith is something rare\, fair and fine…a consummate musician who makes an unsuspecting audience aware that his guitar is not his instrument – it is his partner and musical mate for life – Mr. Smith exhibited skills that would make a symphony conductor salivate.” Stephen Mosher\nPete Smith is a New York City-based guitarist who performs in a wide range of musical settings. As a founding member of Grupo los Santos\, a vanguard Afro-Cuban and Brazilian-style quartet\, he has played New York’s Town Hall and concerts throughout the U.S.\, Cuba & Austria. Pete has performed at the Berlin Jazz Festival and Montreal Jazz Festival\, as well as concerts in thirty countries throughout Europe\, Eastern Europe\, Africa and Asia. He has worked with Norah Jones\, trumpeter Donald Byrd\, Cuban trombone master Juan Pablo Torres\, Andrew Hill\, Kat Edmonson\, Vince Giordano & the Nighthawks\, the Moonlighters\, Madeline Peyroux\, Natalie Merchant and Huun-Huur-Tu\, and is a member of Michael Feinstein’s Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra.

He has performed with some of the best in the business\, including Grammy winner Vincent Herring\, David Williams\, Teri Thornton\, Peter Bernstein\, Gary Versace\, Ed Cherry\, Ben Monder\, Jeremy Pelt\, among others. Garrity has been living in the Hudson Valley since 2017 and produces a concert series out of his home/studio in Woodstock called BARNSTOCK.\n@garritydrums \nANGUS MENEGON (vocals\, synthesizers\, compositions)\nMonolounge is the synth-punched\, reverb-soaked vision of Australian songwriter-producer Angus Menegon. Crafting dream-pop from his bedroom\, Monolounge melts 70s drums\, 80s synthesisers\, and 90s guitars into a melancholic journey through time.

He visited concentration camps in Berlin and Vienna. “In America if you were Black\, you were a slave\, you picked cotton and sugar cane and that was it\,” said Arnold. “But to see how the Germans built these camps/houses with sinks and toilets and wash basins for people that you were going to annihilate– to me\, it made no logical sense.” Despite facing his own share of systemic barriers and societal prejudices\, his work conveys a sense of activism and empathy\, calling for a dialogue that bridges the past to the present. \nMei-Yin Ng Focusing initially on modern movement as inner being\, Ng’s work continues to evolve with the possibilities of contemporary technologies. Her extensive prop training in Chinese dance inspired her to meditate on the use of props\, and later technology\, as an extension of the human form.

MEI-BE WHATever has performed at festivals\, museums and theatres in US\, Asia\, Europe\, North and south America. \nSiaka Hinton “My screenplays\, in sum\, nurture characters\, birthed by phenomena and landscapes\, which I absorb each day.
