Junk Kitchen Series #2 - Get Out of Your Mini
While mini skirts are more than welcome, and may even get you a surprise at the door, this night is about an altogether other kind of mini: the miniature piece of music.

The miniatures featured in this Junk Kitchen installment are very, very short pieces of music, ranging from a matter of seconds to a minute, maybe two. But anything over two minutes isn't very mini anymore, now is it?

So this program will feature dozens of pieces—composed, improvised, covered or stolen—performed on oboe, piano, vibraphone, guitar, voice, and more!

featuring
—husband-wife duo Cotton Candy: a cappella vocals and small percussion
—compositions and performances by John McDonald (piano) and William Kenlon (piano, voice)
—US premier of miniatures for Esther Viola, oboe

Junk Kitchen Series #1 - Music For Toy Instruments

Musicians: Have you ever graced through the aisles of a toy store, spotting various musical instruments on display? Has the temptation of creativity hit you enough that you’ve banged out a few chords at the toy piano, broken into a beat on “My First Drum Kit,” or tried to come up with something... anything interesting on a one octave xylophone in the key of C?

Well, the folks at the Junk Kitchen Concert Series have concocted a remedy for those of you with such childish urges: a musical pursuance that will relieve you of being seen in a toy store and getting kicked out by security. This first installment will feature music written for and improvised on toy instruments and will feature many area performers and special guest Jaggery.

Our mission here is not only to give these instruments their due, but also to pose a challenge to those performing on them. We‘re going to keep the Jazz Box in its case, and the Mark 7 at home, 'cause this is a night for musicians to get in the zone with the most interesting sounds this side of Christmas.

Dr T presents Visual Music Live
Dr T - live video mix in duets with

solo : Dave Bryant - piano
duo : Dave Bryant - piano / Jim Hobbs - alto sax
trio : Dave Bryant - piano / Jim Hobbs - alto sax / Eric Rosenthal - drums

My projections are produced by mixing multiple DVD sources a video mixer and effects processors. The sources consist of computer-manipulated original material derived http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.giffrom my still photography and videography. The original subject matter is usually recognizable, but sometimes processed to complete abstraction. Sometimes the projections and music respond directly to each other -- sometimes they simply co-exist.

Those of you who attend or perform at events at Outpost 186 may find my photo essay "Improvisations from an Outpost" to be of interest,

Naked Girls read Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol!
Sure WBUR does a reading of Charles Dickens' Christmas classic, but does anyone really want to see what those radio personalities look like without their clothes on? Continuing a tradition started in Chicago by burlesque Hall-of-Famer Michelle L'Amour, the Boston chapter of Naked Girls reading will strip down to their Christmas stockings and read every line from "Marley was dead..." to "God bless us – every one!". Seasonal cheer is also available.

Doors open at 8:00 p.m. for a pre-reading reception, and the reading begins at 8:30 p.m. The reading is about two hours long and there will be two breaks.

There are only 35 tickets, so we recommend you get them in advance (and you’ll save some cash too!). Space is very limited. Tickets $20 adv/$30 at the door. http://ngrboston.wordpress.com/

Kelly Roberge has been a saxophonist in the Boston area for several years. Prior to this he studied at the New England Conservatory and Oberlin. The Quartet of Happiness, of which he is a member, was profiled in the Boston Phoenix last year. Roberge has recently added electronics to his palette of sounds. These can be heard in projects such as the one man show All of Us and the duo Saxophone in Machines. Kelly plays regularly in Garrison Fewell's Variable Density Sound Orchestra.

Tony Leva is a recent transplant to the Boston area. He is a continual musical explorer whose interests range from classical to rock to avant-garde. Tony performs regularly with several groups, including Jaggery, Bury Me Standing, and the Metal and Glass Ensemble. One of his most notable learning experiences occurred when he spent time driving for the legendary bassist Henry Grimes.

Daniel Schubmehl is a NYC-based drummer/percussionist. In 2000 he studied drumming and the gyil in Ghana under the Lundquist International Fellowship. Upon returning to the US he moved to NYC and has been playing with a variety of musicians across many genres. He has been studying jazz drumming applications with Brooklyn educator/performer Vinnie Sperrazza for five years and has recently begun piano studies with Jamie Reynolds. Daniel also frequents Boston as a member of the band Jaggery.

Erich Hochstrasser has been studying music since he was 6 years old and is currently a student at Berklee College of Music. While studying Electronic Production & Design and Music Education at Berklee, Erich has also been learning about analog audio electronics in his free time. He seeks to explore the sonic possibilities of homebrew modular synthesizers and modern audio production. Throughout all of his efforts, he ensures that his projects have as many colors and blinking lights as possible.

Michael Dobiel is a musician in the Boston area. Before becoming active in Boston he studied at the University of Louisville and Westfield State College. He is currently involved in several projects as saxophonist, composer and laptop musician. Michael is one half of Saxophone in Machines with Kelly Roberge. He has recently started the Living Room Music series at Outpost 186 in Cambridge.

Carl Testa/Kevin Frenette Quartet

World renowned master bassist Carl Testa (from Anthony Braxton’s 12+1tet) and Boston's own avant-jazz co-conspirators Kevin Frenette (guitar), James Rohr (piano) and John McLellan (drums) present an evening of improvised music centering on exceptionally intricate interplay, texture and timbre on Saturday, October 22.

Carl Testa is a composer, bassist, bass clarinetist, and electronicist who has been composing and performing creative music since 2000. He is primarily known as one of the members of multi-instrumentalist/composer Anthony Braxton’s Sextet, Septet and 12+1tet. He is featured on the 9 Compositions (Iridium) 2006 box set on Firehouse 12 records, on 12+1tet (Victoriaville) 2007 on Victo Records, as well as the Quartet (GTM) 2006 box set on Important Records. His debut recording as a leader, Uncertainty, features his compositions for clarinets, percussion, string bass, and
electronics, which blends chamber music, free improvisation, jazz, and modern electronic music.

Boston area guitarist Kevin Frenette has performed throughout the Northeast USA making music that is inspired by both avant-garde jazz and contemporary improvisation. He studied guitar, composition, and music theory at UMASS-Dartmouth where he received a BA in Theory/Composition. He has performed and/or recorded with such artists as
Tatsuya Nakatani, Jack Wright, Joe Giardullo, Daniel Levin, Forbes Graham, Luther Gray, Harvey Sorgen and Dan DeChellis. In 2007, Fuller Street Music released Kevin’s first date as a leader: CONNECTIONS. That album featured Frenette with Tatsuya Nakatani on percussion, Andy McWain on piano and Todd Keating on bass.


James Rohr has been playing the piano since the age of 5 and began playing professionally at 14 in New Mexico. In the mid 1990's, James formed a piano trio with Nate McBride on bass and Curt Newton on drums - together they released
three recordings. James has had the honor and privilege of playing with many of the great improvisers in the Boston/NYC area. Currently, James is interested in writing and performing songs with his band, the blue ribbons, which he describes as Ray Charles and Johnny Cash meet Captain Beefheart and Sun Ra.

Rain Perry is an award-winning songwriter and author of the autobiographical play "Cinderblock Bookshelves: a Guide for Children of Fame-Obsessed Bohemian Nomads." Her song "Beautiful Tree" is the theme song for the CW Series "Life Unexpected." She is currently finishing work on her third album, "Internal Combustion," with producer Mark Hallman.

She is the Grand Prize winner of both the John Lennon Songwriting Contest (Folk Division) and the ROCKRGRL Discoveries Award, as well as a finalist at the Telluride Troubadour competition. Of her song "Yosemite," cowboy songwriter-poet Tom Russell said, "It slapped my heart around like a good song should," and he recorded it with Nanci Griffith.

In addition to developing her own career as a performing artist, Rain has found herself in the role of concert promoter, producing Agility: a Women's Music Festival to Benefit the Arthritis Foundation in her hometown of Ojai, California. She created, as well, a concert series that has featured some of her favorite troubadour songwriters.

She divides her time between parenting and the lucrative world of independent folk/pop music.


Andrew Hardin
In 2005, Andrew released "Blue Acoustic," a collection of instrumental acoustic guitar duets with songwriters Dave Alvin, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Eliza Gilkyson, and Tom Russell, cowboy singer Don Edwards, and bassist Washtub Jerry. Also available are "Just Like This Train," a collection of vocals and instrumentals from 2002, and a newly remastered "Coney Island Moon," featuring guitar great Albert Lee.

Andrew's guitar style incorporates influences as diverse as Roy Buchanan, Clarence White, Ry Cooder, Gabby Pahinui, and Grady Martin; that is to say it contains elements of blues, rock, R&B, country, tropical, and Spanish-flavored music.

NAKATANI GONG ORCHESTRA

The project will start off with five people performing on 5 gong kits (usually about 5-10 gongs will be set up on the stage, depending on the venue's situation and capacity).
In contrast with a solo percussion setting, where he is limited to two arms and two legs, this 5 person group is capable of simultaneously striking or bowing ten gongs.
Nakatani will be the ensemble's conductor.
Generally, the gongs will be bowed and softly struck with mallets to produce a comfortable sound level for all in the room.
No need for you to prepare ear plugs or afraid of loudness. Sound of N.G.O., is not typical GONG image as usually people have been hearing over the TV.
Audience and performer will experience a new world: the drone of deep space and inner relaxation.
The music of N.G.O. creates a metallic temple of deep harmonies, a beauty of spaces. The sounds are unlike any existent music categories.
An over 40-inch large gong creates extreme Lo-frequency wave forms.
These cross-vibrate with the tones of all the other gongs, and give us a sound ebbing from the deepest frequency pool, which can be very deeply felt in the body.

Devin Drobka - drums (New York, NY)

Everybody's mother is somebody's daughter, brother. Dig? This trio of brilliant young improvisers delivers telepathy laced shang-a-lang that transcends its geographical limitations.

What began a year ago as a chordless jazz trio evolved into a three-headed improvising monster. Breiner, Darrell, and Drobka each contribute compositions ranging from wistful rubato ballades to reckless free jazz avalanches.

Sons Of Daughters features Berklee College of Music alums Devin Drobka and Aaron Darrell as well as New School for Jazz alum and John Coltrane Foundation scholarship winner Patrick Breiner.

The members of this trio have performed with Greg Osby, Jerry Bergonzi, Joe Lovano, Billy Hart, Michael Formanek, Dave Ballou, Becca Stevens, Dave Stryker, Ches Smith, George Garzone and Tony Malaby among others. They tour the east coast and midwest regularly playing concerts and teaching clinics and master classes to students of all ages. They have collectively graced the stages of Dizzy's Club Coca Cola, Skuller's Jazz Club, Yoshi's, the Kitano, Smalls Jazz Club, the JVC Jazz Festival, the Isthmus Jazz Festival, Milwaukee's East Side Jazz Fest, and many other stages across the US and in Europe.

Each Musician will perform a duet with Doctor T. The duets will be followed by a quartet set.



I am an improvising video artist exploring the interaction between visuals and music. I work live with improvising musicians and do non-real-time studio improvisations using a variety of tactics to unify imagery and music. My video is derived from photographic and video sources, sometimes computer processed beyond recognition.

I treat my visual materials as sources for improvisation, much as a jazz musician uses melody and chord changes. I've been creating this work since 1970.

Visual Music LIVE is a monthly series featuring my video improvisations

Come experience true instrumental bliss, crackly and inventive, funky and yet oddly familiar, but still irrevocably distinct in its own way.

Saxophone in Machines
Kelly Roberge - sax & electronics
Michael Dobiel - sax & electronics


Tamandua is a sax/guitar/drums trio based in Boston, MA. Labels are hardly accurate, but the band plays a sort of progressive/avant-garde jazz-rock that is often influenced by various Eastern (Indian, East Asian, and Middle Eastern) ethnic music. Drummer/composer Rick Landwehr was a founding member of Ann Arbor, MI based progressive rock/pop band Ape 7. In addition to Tamandua he currently plays with The Boston Jazz Trio, Colin Stack & Novelty Act, Daniel Bennett Group and Ra Quintet. He is also a faculty member at the National Guitar Workshop's New Milford, CT campus. Guitarist/composer Joe Conley played on Chris Opperman's Purple Crayon album which was produced by Frank Zappa alum Mike Keneally. He also recently performed and recorded with Boston based indie rockers Molecule and is a member of The Boston Jazz Trio. Saxophonist/composer Rick Stone performs with Quartet of Happiness and Colin Stack & Novelty Act. All members of Tamandua are working musicians and music educators in the metro Boston area.

Saxophone in Machines is Michael Dobiel and Kelly Roberge, who harness the disparate powers of cognition and kinetics to create fully integrated musical experiences. When the cerebral austerity of computers collides with the salubrious sensuality of saxophones, results are unpredictable, to say the least. Mike and Kelly first played together May of 2010. Video of moon landings played as sounds emitted from malfunctioning computers, microphones beaten against the ground, and the devil’s horn itself, the saxophone, wielded by several performers. SiM has never looked back.
