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.

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.

Many of my finished video pieces (both studio and live) can be seen at http://www.youtube.com/Tobenfeld

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/

with:
Kelly Roberge - saxophone

Michael Dobiel - composition

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 with ANDREW HARDIN
Rain Perry - vocals / Andrew Hardin - guitar

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 + Tatsuya Nakatani - solo percussion

N.G.O. Boston Crew:
Kevin Frenette
Joe Monteiro
Todd Burnel
Matt Samolis
Forbes Graham

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.

SONS OF DAUGHTERS

Patrick Breiner - tenor sax, clarinet, voice (Easton, CT)
Aaron Darrell - bass, voice (Boston, MA)
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

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.

ABOUT THE FOUR BAGS:

Combining the vibrancy of modern jazz and popular music with the sophistication of a classical chamber group, The Four Bags feature a captivating blend of Trombone, Accordion, Guitar and Woodwinds. With mature improvisation and a wide array of tonal colors, The Four Bags approach music from Schoenberg to the Beastie Boys in a way that is "wonderfully difficult to define, easy to enjoy." (David Garland, WNYC “Spinning on Air”)

Based in New York City since 1999, The Four Bags have been featured at Symphony Space’s Thalia Theatre Music Series, the "Next Next" festival at BAM Café, the "Celebrate Brooklyn!" festival in Prospect Park, The Wall to Wall Joni Mitchell Marathon at Symphony Space, A Tribute to Burt Bacharach in the Allen Room at Jazz at Lincoln Center, Konnichiwa Festa!

The Four Bags have released three albums on NCM East Records and are about to release their fourth recording, "Forth" due out in the Fall of 2011, featuring a collection of original tunes as well as their spin on music from Brazil, Iran and French electronica.

JOSEPH BOWIE & ADAM RUDOLPH DUET

Adam Rudolph: handrumset (congas, djembe, tarija), frame drum, thumb pianos, gongs, percussion and mulitphonic singing, sintir, piano

Joseph Bowie: trombone, electronics, vocal, harmonica, congas, djembe, percussion)

"The evening was transformed into an extraordinary and lyrical happening with music of ethereal light" IL GIORNALE

Adam Rudolph and Joseph Bowie first performed together in 2000 @ Lincoln Center with Yusef Lateef. They have collaborated together in numerous projects since then, including a trio with Omar Sosa and, most recently, in Adam Rudolph’s Moving Pictures.
Their music is grounded in the American improvisational tradition while embracing music forms, languages, instrumentation, and cosmologies of Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the African Diaspora. Decades of performance and research into these music cultures have given the artists the background and experience to create a unique and unprecedented improvisational art form.

About JOSEPH BOWIE: http://joebowie.org/en/21/about-joe-bowie/

About ADAM RUDOLPH: http://www.metarecords.com/adam.html

PRESS REVIEWS:

"A pioneer in world music."
NEW YORK TIMES

"Percussionist Adam Rudolph has been fusing jazz and world music for decades, to the point where the two coexist as a seamless whole."
-The Philadelphia Daily News

"A project of haunting power and beauty. Captivating and profoundly beautiful."
-Earshot Jazz

"Adam Rudolph is percussion master...Dream Garden [is] a career achievement for Rudolph, one that should finally make the jazz world sit up and take notice."
-All Music Guide

"A vibrant collage that's soulful, edgy and refreshingly spiritual."
- Jazzwax.com

About the music:

Compositional forms serve as thematic material to provide an orchestrated context for improvisational dialogue. Music materials consist, among other things, of original melodies, textural gestures, sound languages, tone rows, traditional and synthetic scales, diadic and intervallicaly generated harmonies, call and response, polyphony, dynamics, and the coloration of silences.

Unique forms are generated through the concept of “Cyclic Verticalism”, whereby polyrhythms, as used in African music, are combined with rhythm cycles, as used in Indian music. When combined with the above-described tonal materials, larger forms can be generated. In the compositions these materials are utilized to serve emotional coloration; what in India is called Rasa. Performers are given the freedom to use their imagination and listening ability to develop the compositions within their own individual motion and timing, while still relating to the overall form and to the aesthetic and musical functions. The concept is to generate unusual relationships of sound against sound, form against form, and rhythm against rhythm in a non-linear, ever shifting kaleidoscope of music images.

BIOGRAPHIES:

Born in 1955, handrummer, percussionist, composer, multi instrumentalist and improviser ADAM RUDOLPH has been hailed as “a pioneer in world music” by the NY times. Currently he composes for his groups Adam Rudolph’s Moving Pictures Organic Orchestra, a 15 – 50 piece ensemble for which he has developed an original music notation and conducting system. He has taught and conducted hundreds of musicians in the Go: Organic Orchestra concept in both North America and Europe. He has performed at festivals and concerts throughout North & South America, Europe, Africa, and Japan, appeared on numerous albums and released over twenty recordings as a leader.

Over the past 25 years Rudolph has developed a unique syncretic approach to hand drumming in creative collaborations with outstanding artists of cross-cultural and improvised music, including Yusef Lateef, Jon Hassel, L. Shankar, Muhal Richard Abrams, Fred Anderson, Hassan Hakmoun, Sam Rivers, Omar Sosa, and Pharaoh Sanders, and Wadada Leo Smith among others. He has released over a dozen recordings on his own Meta Records label documenting his compositions for various size ensembles.

Hans Poppel's Brief Return: Duos, Trios and Beyond
Hans Poppel - piano / Curt Newton - drums / Jeff Song - cello / Tom Hall - saxophones / Neil Leonard - sax

Pianist Hans Poppel, who lived in the Boston area for many years, moved back to his native Munich in 2008. Hans is back in town in early June; this performance will feature rotating small-group improvisations with some of his frequent local collaborators and others less familar.

“There is no such thing as Free Music. There are places unheard of echoing sounds that seem to have been around for a long, long, time.“
–HANS POPPEL

Multi talented artist Hans Poppel is originally from Munich, Germany. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich and became an assistant set designer at the Bavarian State Opera. Hans has worked as a set designer and award winning book-illustrator. As a pianist of jazz and improvised music, he has developed his own extended piano techniques. He has performed and recorded in Europe and the United States. Hans currently lives and works in Munich. Musical collaborations include performances with Amiri Baraka, Joe Morris, Ken Vandermark, Hans Koch, Peter Schärli, Curt Newton, Soo-Jung Kae, Sebi Tramontana, and others.

“... churning waves of sound ignited by an impetus that borders on the manic. The music is hot ...”

François Tusques & Eric Zinman
Pianist François Tusques considered to be the father of French free jazz, will perform two piano concerts with pianist Eric Zinman. These are duets involving two pianos, something rarely available.

Born in 1938 in Paris and raised in Brittany, Tusques was among the first to bring together French musicians to explore a new musical language in the 1960’s. He also formed connections with all the significant American avant garde players who came to Paris at that time. This is a rare opportunity to introduce Mr. Tusques to Boston.

Loop 2.4.3
Thomas Kozumplik & Lorne Watson - percussion, electronics, voice
+Eric Dahlman - trumpet & objects

Outpost 186 presents the “Transportive” music of Loop 2.4.3: The New York Percussion Duo, with Eric Dahlman (trumpet, electronics) and special guest Erik Nugent (nu chromatic didjeridoo, throat singing).

Loop 2.4.3 is a composer/performer duo that has drawn comparisons to Steve Reich, Battles, Harry Partch, Moondog, Konono No.1, Brian Eno, and Belle Orchestre - an assortment that alludes to their hard to classify, yet visceral aesthetic. They are composers/instrument inventors/improvisers/performers and “virtuosi musicians of the highest caliber” (Gordon Stout, Ithaca College), mixing electro-acoustic techniques with an array of percussion and other instruments. Their new album, Zodiac Dust, features strings and two instruments of their invention, the Rose Echo and eLog. Their music has been described as "transportive percussion odysseys" (The Boston Phoenix), "taut compositions with a stunning improvisational sense" (Time Out Chicago), and as both "action adventures and reveries... all sound[ing] like part of a well-thought-out tradition, only the tradition has never existed until now." (Milo Miles, Fresh Air - NPR)

Boston-based trumpeter, and frequent Outpost performer, Eric Dahlman joins the bill with his ambient tribal soundscapes anchored by clouds of trumpets featuring new Antarctican inspired music, solo Trident trumpet and solo prototype chromatic didj and throat singing performed by Erik Nugent plus duo improvs and tribal drones with Eric and Erik.

Work/Death, Lolly Gesserit, and High Aura'd

Work/Death's sound runs from crumbling distortion and dense synth textures to delicate melodies and field recordings. Connect the dots between musique concrete, electro-acoustic improv, harsh noise and the pop song.

"Shimmering string and organ drones...churning clouds of electronics accumulate over a haunting tonal core. There is a calm buried under all the bristling textures, a gentleness that hovers inside the static."-The Wire.

Lolly Gesserit is the latest project of Elijah Forest (formerly Terrors) which creates a warm grim meditative blur through tape collage, industrial/dub overtones and occasional crooning. Headphone listening for heavy rains.

High Aura'd transports the soul with gorgeous, mysterious guitar soundscapes and hazy drones.

BBC Music Review of Art of the Improviser by Matthew Shipp

Matthew Shipp was born December 7, 1960 in Wilmington, Delaware. He started piano at 5 years old with the regular piano lessons most kids have experienced. He fell in love with jazz at 12 years old. After moving to New York in 1984 he quickly became one of the leading lights in the New York jazz scene. He was a sideman in the David S. Ware quartet and also for Roscoe Mitchell’s Note Factory before making the decision to concentrate on his own music.
Mr Shipp has reached the holy grail of jazz in that he possesses a unique style on his instrument that is all of his own -- and he’s one of the few in jazz that can say so. Mr. Shipp has recorded a lot of albums with many labels but his 2 most enduring relationships have been with two labels. In the 1990s he recorded a number of chamber jazz CDs with Hatology, a group of CDs that charted a new course for jazz that, to this day, the jazz world has not realized. In the 2000s Mr Shipp has been curator and director of the label Thirsty Ear’s “Blue Series” and has also recorded for them. In this collection of recordings he has generated a whole body of work that is visionary, far reaching and many faceted .
Matthew Shipp is truly one of the leading lights of a new generation of jazz giants.

"Watching Matthew Shipp play the piano is a bit like sitting ringside. Lefts and rights hit the keyboard's midsection in steady jabs, finding a rhythm that alternately lulls and stings. Or he might work his left hand, creating a rumbling dance of low-end notes. Then it comes: An unanticipated chiming cluster, landing like a roundhouse punch. At times, his playing turns meditative. Mr. Shipp's style knows no single pattern. Yet the boxing parallel is clear." -- Larry Blumenfeld, Wall Street Journal

"It doesn't seem so long ago that pianist Matthew Shipp emerged as a fiery iconoclast of the piano, a fearless experimenter whose tempestuous soliloquies ranged freely among jazz, classical and avant-garde idioms. Shipp recently turned 50, and to mark the occasion he has released a monumental double-CD, "Art of the Improviser". Though not for timid ears, Shipp's pianism sounds as galvanic as ever…Few pianists command a comparable improvisational imagination, nor the technical wherewithal to realize it. Shipp sounds similarly dynamic in the live trio recording of the first CD, which…flies like the wind. Ultimately, "Art of the Improviser" not only sums up Shipp's achievements to date but points promisingly toward important music yet to come."
-- Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune

"One of the most daring and original pianists in jazz." -- Rolling Stone

Doctor T
Emile Tobenfeld (Doctor T) has been doing improvised projections to music since 1974 -- always with the goal of creating Visual Music, a music that combines imagery and sound. His projections are produced by mixing multiple DVD sources with a video mixer and effects processor. The sources consist of computer-manipulated original material derived from his still photography and videography. The original subject matter is usually recognizable, but sometimes processed to complete abstraction. The projections and music respond sometimes directly to each other -- at other times they simply co-exist.

His videos (including some recordings made at Outpost 186) can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/Tobenfeld. A photo essay of images taken at Outpost 86 can be viewed at http://www.flickr.com/photos/22231918@N06/sets/72157624670849749

Living Room Music concert series presents
Esther Viola - oboe, voice / Eric Hofbauer - guitar / Ben Dicke - drums / Michael Dobiel - saxophone and electronics
This unusual and intriguing quartet configuration is the brainchild of Esther Viola, who has envisioned this type of group for several years. She recently asked Michael to compose a piece for the group. The evening will consist of two types of musicmaking: free improvisation by all the players involved, and compositions by the players. Michael's piece will be played in public for only the second time.

Esther Viola has pursued her calling as a musician since her teens. She studied at the Eastman school of music. Her career has brought her to many corners of the world. For ten years she studied and performed modern music in the Netherlands. She also spent six months in Rio de Janeiro, immersed in Brazilian music and culture. She uses oboe, English horn, flute, piano, voice, and percussion in her creative pursuits. Her music reflects the diversity and beauty of her tools and influences.

Eric Hofbauer has been an integral member of Boston's jazz scene for more than a decade. He leads his own group, The Infrared Band, and collaborates with local luminaries such as Garrison Fewell and Charlie Kohlhase. Hofbauer supervises his own record label, Creative Nation Music. He teaches jazz guitar and jazz history at Emerson College and The University of Rhode Island. His honors include a 2009 Massachusetts Cultural Council Fellowship in Music Composition.

Ben Dicke is a drummer and educator in the Boston area, originally from Trenton, NJ. At age eleven, he began to teach himself to drum and has played in bands ever since. A graduate of Berklee College of Music, his teachers have included Joe Falcey (a great player and personal hero) Jon Hazilla, Terri Lyne Carrington, and Ian Froman.

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. He is the instigator of the Living Room Music series at Outpost 186 in Cambridge.

The Changing Context of Improvisation:
Unplayable Instruments, Disaster Management and the Safe Handling of Dry Ice

A workshop with Mark Soden of Phog Masheen

Phog Masheen (from Los Angeles) investigates noise as post-millenial folk music, unusual uses of resonant chambers, and sound as an object that can be stretched, inverted, and manipulated like sculpture. In this discussion/hands-on workshop, explore topics such as:

· The vuvuzela: was the 2010 World Cup a defining public noise performance or an act of audio terrorism?
· Voted Off the Island: the rise of reality television and its effect on the perception of improvisation.
· Dwellers of the Land that Time Forgot: drum circle, sweat lodge, the trance dehydration vortex.
· The rise of dissonance: cognitive, auditory, economic and political. If noise is the soundtrack of our times, what of the future?
· Loosening the lug nuts on the wheels of orchestration.
· Is the audience part of the performance?
· High Art vs. roadside attraction: some thoughts on community action.

a night of singer-songwriters with

Kate Lee & the Opposites Attract
+Generifus
+ACLU Benefit
+Cal Folger Day

KATE LEE & THE OPPOSITES ATTRACT
As a founding member of the Whitehaus Family arts collective, label and venue, Kate has been a serious influence on that community for the past 4 years. She recorded a solo tape, "Whatever Whatever," in 2008. People listened to it on their Walkmen and enjoyed it. Since then, Kate has focused on creating music for her duo folk project, "Gracious Calamity," and her big-band experiential sound-sculpture + movement-”jazz” band, "Peace, Loving." She spent 5 months of 2010 on the road with Peace, Loving. This spring is the first time she has performed solo for 3 years and she likes it so far.

ACLU Benefit is the solo project of Noah Britton, singer and guitarist for The Best Thing Ever. "Endlessly wry... His songs fit squarely in the anti-folk terrain of sparse melodies assembled as excuses for minor monologues, but he's also got this baritone ribbit of a voice that inevitably recalls Stephin Merritt—an unavoidable reference considering that Britton's also very fond of understated punchlines." - Village Voice.

"Generifus is the main musical project of songwriter Spencer Sult. Generifus began performing in 2005. When he was seventeen, Sult began self-releasing music and booking west coast tours. Since then, Sult has recorded with Karl Blau and LAKE, who in turn, have also contributed to live performances and Generifus albums. Sult has lived his entire life in Washington state and currently calls Olympia home. His songs reflect the beauty found in nature and life in the Pacific Northwest, and he has taken those songs on tour all over the United States and into Japan."

CAL FOLGER DAY
Cal Folger Day was born and partly raised in our great nation's capital city. Now, in garretts and barrooms, she strums, whacks, hoots and hollers for congregations of customers most nights of the week. She'll release her first E.P. and tour the East Coast in March.

"the real thing, straight down the line from Sister Rosetta Tharpe, June Carter, and Memphis Minnie...breaking our hearts and making them sing is no mean feat. A wonderful voice, hot chick, fast mama." (Matt Sage, Catweazle U.K.)

Preggy Peggy & the Lazy Babymakers
+ All of Us

Preggy Peggy & the Lazy Babymakers is an ongoing studio project, often with secret contributors, that's been running for umpteen years & has unleashed both mangled bedroom pop and super extreme avant garde recordings. In 2010 it finally began morphing into a live act, though appearances are still rare. Electronics, grunting, ukulele ditties, unfunny jokes, terrifying blubbering noises, impressions of chinese opera singers, and awkward silences all come together to make audience members as nauseatingly uncomfortable as if they were watching live birth footage. The main brain behind Peggy is also the proprietor of a record store that specializes in unusual & esoteric musics, Angela Sawyer.

All of Us was formed by saxophonist Kelly Roberge in 2010. Performing several midi instruments and character sketches, Roberge takes on the roles of a four member band which performs sax heavy compositions ranging from jazz to metal. Merging Roberge’s love of music and improv comedy, the characters interact as real life people living ordinary lives in their respective communities.

Junko Simons - cello / Laurence Cook - drums

Luminous Flux

Falling between and concisely on through the translucent spaces of instrumental music and spoken word.

Brian Groder

“Groder speaks jazz as if it were his mother tongue, but that also means that he does not leave it as he found it.” -ImproJazz, France

This composer/trumpeter’s music is not limited to a single tradition; he draws on the entire rich history of music. His unique approach to jazz was the subject of a Downbeat profile (March 2010), a “Best Of” category in

All About Jazz for the 2010 CD release with Burton Greene and again in

2007 for a CD with Sam Rivers.

Albey Balgochian

"He’s all over the music like a man with the most vibrant lust for life." Nic Jones - All about Jazz

Working the NYC downtown scene, he joined Cecil Taylor’s Trio and Big Band in 2004 (best performances of 2009 -The Cecil Taylor Trio - All About Jazz.) As a band leader and sideman, he currently composes and produces music for a variety of projects including multi-media events with dancers, artists and poets, as well as a creative music show on Manhattan Cable TV.

Jane Grenier B.

"You scare & inspire me!" Steve Dalachinsky, PEN Award Winning nyc poet.

Psychedelic Poet Jane Grenier B. has emerged on the scene in 2010 to standing ovations at the Bowery Poetry Club, Blue Stockings Book Store, The Stone NYC.

Laurence Cook

Described as the “drumming power behind creative music ensembles”, Cook has worked with the shinning leaders of free improvised music, appearing on numerous classic albums with Alan Silva, Paul Bley, Bill Dixon, Jamell Moondoc, Thurston Moore, Sabir Mateen and Albey Balgochian.

Junko Fujiwara Simons

Boston’s own creative improvising cellist is actively engaged in some of the area’s most cutting edge new music and classical ensembles, including Lance Bryant’s Lyricalia Quintet, the classical Kalliope Piano Trio, the microtonal-acoustic Metal & Glass Ensemble and Butch Morris’s Conduction Series. Ms Simons also holds adjunct faculty positions with Boston College, Ipswitch Public Schools and Phillips Academy Andover. Junko can be heard on Joe Morris’ 2010 CD release, “Camera”(ESP 4063).

"Sons of Daughters"
Patrick Breiner - tenor sax / Aaron Darrell - double bass / Devin Drobka - drums

Description:
Sons Of Daughters was born through an unlikely union. Having heard for months of young guns Aaron Darrell and Devin Drobka, Patrick Breiner traveled from his home in Madison, WI to Milwaukee in May of 2010 for a one nighter at the Jazz Estate. He showed up a half hour late and the band was already knee deep in an epic performance of "Autumn Leaves". Breiner stepped on stage to take a solo before the rest of the band even realized he had shown up. He didn't meet the bass player and drummer until the set break.

Soon after, Aaron moved to Boston to complete a degree at Berklee College of Music and Devin moved to New York City to pursue his dream of becoming a failed actor turned singing waiter on roller skates in midtown (done, aaaaand done). Patrick stayed put in Madison, Wisconsin where he continues to undermine the lounge jazz scene one gig at a time.

This trio of brilliant young improvisers plays incendiary originals and reaches deep into the pantheon of jazz classics in order to deliver telepathy-laced shang-a-lang that transcends its geographical limitations.

Eight Foot Manchild

Eight Foot Manchild was once an improv/noise ensemble that has recently evolved into a mash-up power trio whose only attitude toward music is "if it feels good, play it". No genre is safe from us. We play medleys consisting of surf rock, thrash metal, Saturday morning cartoon and British sci-fi themes, film scores, video game music and everything in between, in all original arrangements.

DANIEL CARTER
Daniel Carter is not an enigma, no more than a teeming forest is.
Give some sincerely up for true and you've made a commitment
which will last a lifetime, if you've got the mettle for searching
unfettered.

I first became aware of Daniel Carter's immense talents through
the collective HYPERLINK "http://www.aumfidelity.com/
odim.html"Other Dimensions In Music. Every time, and I mean
every time, I've heard the man bring an instrument to his lips - be
it reeds, brass or flute - beautiful sounds emanate. His is a rare
natural gift, though he is learned a-plenty, never you mind about
the anarchy speak ~ in the sense that it is so commonly
misconstrued.

If the world ever does truly silence for a moment please, the first
sounds I would want to hear are the ones that Daniel Carter
chooses, because I know that true democracy is deep in his
essence.

I love it with tears of joy when he laughs; I love the way he
dances. -SJ

Over the past three decades-plus, Daniel Carter has performed
with: Sun Ra, Billy Bang, Roger Baird, William Parker, Roy
Campbell, Sabir Mateen, Simone Forti, Joan Miller, Thurston
Moore, Nayo Takasaki, Earl Freeman, Dewey Johnson, Nami
Yamamoto, Matthew Shipp, Wilber Morris, Denis Charles, MMW
(Medeski, Martin, & Wood), Vernon Reid, Raphé Malik, Sam
Rivers, Sunny Murray, Hamiet Bluiett, Cecil Taylor, David S.
Ware, Karl Berger, Don Pate, Gunter Hampel, Alan Silva, Susie
Ibarra, D.J. Logic, Margaret Beals, Douglas Elliot, Butch Morris,
TEST, OTHER DIMENSIONS IN MUSIC, ONE WORLD ENSEMBLE,
SATURNALIA STRING TRIO, LEVITATION UNIT, WET PAINT, THE
TRANSCENDENTALISTS, and many many many many others
(meaning more every week or day practically).

Mill City Trio
Jamie Dunphy – guitar / Greg Passler – guitar, bass / Tony D'Anna - drums

Since its formation in 2005, the Mill City Trio has appeared regularly in clubs, galleries and concert venues all over New England. They are dedicated to the performance of original jazz compositions, although recent concerts have included revved-up versions of "Canarios" by Baroque composer Gaspar Sanz, and "Overkill" by the 80's rock band Men at Work.

Mill City Trio released their debut CD, Solstice, in 2006 to extensive critical acclaim. Their 2008 release, Down Deep, was featured on "Eric in the Evening" on WGBH, Boston and "Jazz New England" on WICN, Worcester. Most recently, the trio has presented concerts in New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts featuring "The Syncopated Bird," an extended composition for jazz trio and narrator by Jamie and Drew Dunphy. Mill City Trio is currently performing in support of their third CD, Looking Up, which Music Web Express called, "one of the best guitar-based instrumental jazz albums of 2010."

Betty Widerski presents "Taking A Solo"

Members of several Boston bands stepping out on their own:

Reverse Polish Notation -- Betty Widerski (violinist for Ginger Ibex, Las Aboricuas, The Gobshites) presents her solo electric violin looping project.

Electro-Ren -- Mel Fitzhugh (bassist for Emmy Cerra & Amber Spyglass) explores lute, bandora and vihuella music of the renaissance and baroque on electric guitar, along with some favorite Balkan and original tunes with special guest Cathy Reuben (flutist for Urban Myth).

Rhombus - violinist Johanna Bobrow ( of Emperor Norton's Stationary Marching Band) joins singer/songwriter Deborah Haber to perform Haber's lyrically-driven brand of "raunchy jazz" and alternative art songs. "Some people are square on the beat - we're Rhombus."

“Reverse Polish Notation” is violinist Betty Widerski’s side project
(besides her two bands) consisting of original instrumental pieces on
string instruments over loops, samples and whatever other sounds she
finds. When performing live she combines an electric 5-string violin
with Boss loop stations to create layered improvisational compositions.

Her project is named after a type of mathematical notation wherein
“every operator follows all of its operands, precluding the need for
parentheses.” The description "Polish" refers to the nationality of
logician Jan Łukasiewicz, who invented (prefix) Polish notation in
1920s. During the 1970s and 1980s (when Betty was a Physics & Math
major) RPN was widely used in handheld calculators of the time.

ERIC JACKSON of WGBH jazz on Outpost in Globe Travel section, 9 Jan. '10:

Sonic Sandbox : Forrest Larsen – electronics / David Brown – Didgeridoo / Todd Brunel - clarinet
Cultivating his technique since 1982, Ben Miller/degeneration presents a sonic tapestry that defies standard guitar playing. By using several pickups outputted separately through two chain of effects, Miller produces a texturous, multiphonic soundscape. With the addition of a wide variety of preparations, radio and analog tape, it is difficult to discern where any one sound originates or where it is headed. Sonic Sandbox, an improvisational trio consisting of composer and electronic musician Forrest Larsen, percussionist and Didgeridoo player David Brown and clarinetist Todd Brunel will be performing in support of their latest release, "Turbulence."

Not Just Theater presents a new work-in-progress performance:

"pool"

Direction: Naomi Bennett
Featuring: Shawn Pauling, Jason Jedrusiak, Marlena Merrin, Brent Walton, and Li Feng.
Music: Clinton Degan
Poetry: Sarah Pearlstein

To benefit FEED FUND : Support The Starving Artist In Your Life!

Using Mark Ravenhill's play “pool (no water)” as inspiration, pool is an original performance focusing on the themes of Artistic Jealousy and being Present vs. Absent. This piece is being collaboratively created with the cast, primarily using forms from Interplay theater (with some exception).

This is a work-in-progress showing, and your feedback is greatly encouraged. There will not be a formal talk back, but there will be time after the show to mingle with the artists. We are also raising money to the cost of the final show in January. Whatever you can give will be greatly appreciated.

FEED FUND
This semi-irregular performance series is designed to both showcase and raise money for local starving artists, while feeding you! In a time when everyone is feeling the financial burden, coming together to support each other as a community is more important that ever. Enjoy good food, good drink, and good conversation.

NEW LANGUAGE COLLABORATIVE
Glynis Lomon - cello/voice
Mario Rechtern (Austria) - alto/baritone/sopranino sax and electric saxolin
Syd Smart - drums
Eric Zinman - piano

Bill Dixon said, "we do not discriminate against sound, all sounds are beautiful." Yet instead of searching for a sound, many musicians are content to have THE sound, a finality to their expressive capabilities, a plateau endorsed by "culture". Nostalgia reveals the taste of power. New Language Collaborative is ALWAYS in search of a sound, an expression that IS form. From my experience, this is the innocence of creation. Each musician tells their own story and keeps their own time. Without these human voices the jungle would seem lonely. Music is mysteriously ideology. There is no peace, only the joy of hunger and fulfillment, continuity and exquisite form.

Their first recording was a digital release on Ayler Records in 2008 called Unified Fields.

Sunday 10 October @ Outpost, 8pm $15
Eric Zinman Quartet featuring Mario Rechtern (Austria)

Mario Rechtern - alto/baritone/sopranino saxophone and electric saxolin

This concert follows the digital release of their recording WAKTE OGLAKA this year on Ayler Records in France.

"It is the total group sound that predominates, however. If free blow-outs attract you, you'll find this one satisfies your need for exuberant chaos, but in ways that show the mastery of the artists and their own original take on the scene. "

David Maxwell's Quantum Mathematics
Kevin Frenette – guitar / David Maxwell - keys / Bruno Raberg - bass / Luther Gray - drums

David Maxwell has amassed an enormous resume throughout the years playing piano with some of the greatest and well-known musicians in jazz and blues. David plays many styles of jazz, improvised music and blues, but he is best known for his soulful virtuosity and unmatched ability to reach the heart of post-war Chicago Blues. Through his work, he has gained the respect of artists, critics and fans and has established a reputation as one of the finest blues pianists alive.

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, Pandelis Karayorgis, Daniel Levin, Luther Gray, and Harvey Sorgen. 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.

Drummer Luther Gray was born March 10, 1972 in New Orleans, LA. His family moved to Washington, D.C. where, as a teenager, he started playing drums in punk rock bands. Though largely self-taught, his musical training involved drum lessons from Kim Martin, Larry Bright, Steve Bagby, and Mickey Newman.

The Palimpsest Ensemble, led by Ara Sarkissian, combines the art of group improvisation with a strict adherence to musical form. Thus, unlike many other musical situations in which we as players use the technique of improvisation in an open form setting, this ensemble requires the application of improvisatory techniques within strict rules pertaining to form, texture, motivic development, dynamics and other elements.

Broadcloth performs improvised music with a nod to various compositional outlets. Using a unique instrumentation of voice, cello and accordion/recorders, the trio plays from notated, graphic, embroidered, and textual scores in addition to completely spontaneous pieces. Without shying away completely from virtuosity, Broadcloth creates music that reflects the order of composition and the risk of unpredictable musical interactions. Emphasis lies on establishing a holistic sound that favors cooperation over hierarchy. Broadcloth is based in New Haven, CT, and performs regularly in the area, also appearing in NYC at such venues as The Stone and ABC No Rio.

Triple Bill! Featuring electronic, free improvised music and an electronic solo quartet.

Saxophones in Machines
is a sax duo improvising with computer manipulation. Computer chips meets wet reeds and bass with unpredictable results. Mike Dobiel and Kelly Roberge will work to bring the machines to a higher understanding of humanity through creative improvisation.

Cereal
a trio featuring Jesse Kaminsky on alto, Keiichi Hasimoto on trumpet and Kelly Roberge on tenor saxophone perform freely improvised music

All of Us
is an electronic solo quartet formed by saxophonist Kelly Roberge in 2010. Performing several midi instruments and character sketches, Roberge takes on the roles of a four member band which performs sax heavy compositions ranging from jazz to metal. Merging Roberge’s love of music and improv comedy, the characters interact as real life people living ordinary lives in their respective communities.

"All of Us " backstory:
Answering Kelly’s craigslist post to create an online electrochestra in late 2009, Stan, Marty and Cecil met on skype to do some cyber jamming. Since all the members live all over (Illinois, Minnesota, England and Massachusetts), they have to rehearse online by linking up their computers, midi instruments and saxophone. Technology has allowed this band to exist in its rehearsal phase but live gigs require a lot of frequent flyer miles!

Sons of Daughters
Patric Breiner – tenor / Aaron Darrell – bass / Devin Drobka - drums

SonsOfDaughters.Bandcamp.com

Sons of Daughters. Everybody's mother is somebody's daughter, brother. Dig?

This trio of brilliant young improvisers plays incendiary originals and reaches deep into the pantheon of jazz classics. They come from Boston, New York, and Madison, WI to deliver the kind of telepathy-laced shang-a-lang that transcends their geographical limitations.

Sons of Daughters was born through an unlikely union in Wisconsin. Having heard for months of young guns Aaron Darrell and Devin Drobka, Patrick Breiner traveled from his home in Madison to Milwaukee in May of 2010 for a one nighter at the Jazz Estate. He showed up a half hour late and the band was already knee deep in an epic performance of "Autumn Leaves". Breiner stepped on stage to take a solo before the rest of the band even realized he had shown up. He didn't meet the bass player and drummer until the set break. It took about a minute and a half for them to start making jokes about farts and poo (a surefire sign that they would become thick as thieves.).

Soon after, Aaron moved to Boston Devin moved to New York City. Patrick stayed put in Madison, Wisconsin where he continues to undermine the lounge jazz scene one gig at a time.

Their collective resumes include performances with Jerry Bergonzi, Tony Malaby, Michael Formanek, Greg Osby, Joe Lovano, Dave Ballou, Ches Smith Phil Grenadier, Dave Santoro, and Bruce Barth to name but a few.

-Daniel Carter, MULTI REEDS, TRUMPET:

Over the past three decades-plus, Daniel Carter has performed with: Sun Ra, Billy Bang, Roger Baird, William Parker, Roy Campbell, Sabir Mateen, Simone Forti, Joan Miller, Thurston Moore, Nayo Takasaki, Earl Freeman, Dewey Johnson, Nami Yamamoto, Matthew Shipp, Wilber Morris, Denis Charles, MMW (Medeski, Martin, & Wood), Vernon Reid, Raphé Malik, Sam Rivers, Sunny Murray, Hamiet Bluiett, Cecil Taylor, David S.

Logic, Margaret Beals, Douglas Elliot, Butch Morris, TEST, OTHER DIMENSIONS IN MUSIC, ONE WORLD ENSEMBLE, SATURNALIA STRING TRIO, LEVITATION UNIT, WET PAINT, THE TRANSCENDENTALISTS, and many many many many others (meaning more every week or day practically).

-Bill Elgart, PERCUSSION:

Bill Elgart, often credited as Billy Elgart is one of many American jazz musicians who have settled in Europe. Quite often based out of Munich, Elgart's credits include appearances on some choice Paul Bley records. Mr. Elgart replaced Paul Motian in Bley's band in the early 70's, and jazz listeners have the opportunity to directly compare the two drummers on several albums on which they both appear. Elgart has also collaborated with vibraphonist, pianist, composer and bandleader Karl Berger, appearing on that artist's return to recording following a hiatus, No Man Is an Island on the Knit Classics label. European musicians seem fond of having Elgart around, as he has appeared in a steady series of interesting bands through the 80's and 90's, with no signs of letting up. He will frequently have a superb rhythm section partner, such as Dave Holland on recordings with trumpeter Kenny Wheeler, or fine bassists such as Ed Schuller and Wayne Darling. Elgart performs frequently in these different contexts and also presents workshops for drummers all over Europe as well as giving private instruction. With the South African bassist Carlo Mombelli, the drummer played time feels both funky and free in the intriguing Zollsound 4, backing up a twin horn, piano-less line- up featuring alto saxophonist Lee Konitz and baritone saxophonist Thomas Zoller. From 1982 through 1990 he was a member of the Sundial trio fronted by guitarist Peter O'Mara, which recorded three albums and toured with Wheeler as a guest. In 1991 Elgart began working in the Caoma band, founded by tenor and soprano saxophinist Sigi Finkel and also featuring Schuller and Polish trumpeter Tomasz Stanko. The latter artist also played with Elgart in a quartet under the leadership of Vlatko Kucan. In 2001, Elgart and Berger were both part of the Annemarie Roelofs Projekt, recording for the Double Moon label with Frank Möbus, Vitold Rek and Ingrid Sertso.

A performance brought to life by the spontaneous meeting of poetry and music, within the deep-seated affinity of the two arts, both of them expressions of sound, rhythm, and assonance.

It is neither poetry in music or music-poetry; rather, a unitary and seamless work of art.

Nakatani/Testa/Frenette/Rohr

World renowned master percussionist Tatsuya Nakatani, bassist Carl Testa (from Anthony Braxton’s 12+1tet) and Boston's own avant-jazz co-conspirators Kevin Frenette (guitar) and James Rohr (fender rhodes) present an evening of improvised music centering on exceptionally intricate interplay, texture and timbre.

Please come by the Outpost and be part of this one-of-a-kind event! With Tatsuya Nakatani and Carl Testa on the bill --- it is sure to be SPECTACULAR!!!

Tatsuya Nakatani (percussion) is originally from Osaka, Japan. In 2006 he performed in 80 cities in 7 countries and collaborated with 163 artists worldwide. In the past 10 years he has released nearly 50 recordings on CD. He has created his own instrumentation, effectively inventing many instruments and extended techniques. He utilizes drumset, bowed gongs, cymbals, singing bowls, metal objects, bells, and various sticks and bows to create an intense, organic music that defies category or genre. His music is based in improvised/ experimental music, jazz, free jazz, rock, and noise, yet retains the sense of space and beauty found in traditional Japanese folk music.

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 wrestling with the piano since the age of 5. Sometimes he tries to play all 88 keys at once, sometimes just a few. He began playing professionally at 14 at a BBQ joint in New Mexico where he played a piano for ribs. 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 that a few people in Europe and Canada heard. 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.

Patrick Duggan has studied at Emerson College in Boston, and California College of the Arts in San Francisco. He is editor and co-founder of Idiolexicon, a Black River chapbook finalist, and his poems and articles have appeared in numerous journals, including Beeswax, Floating Holiday, Mirage, Monday Night Lit, Noö Journal, Oranges and Sardines, Parthenon West Review, Shampoo, and 26 Magazine.

José Molina (Salamanca, 1975). Poet, translator and editor of poetry magazines and journals like Torre de Papel (University of Iowa), Letra Viva (Oaxaca) and Portuguese Cultural and Literary Journal (Umass Dartmouth). He is an active member of the Whaling City Review in New Bedford, Mass. His work was included this year in the Anthology of poetry "Malditos Latinos, Malditos Sudacas: Poesía Iberoamericana Made In USA" published by El Billar de Lucrecia (Mexico City).

Antonio Ochoa is a poet and translator born in Mexico City in 1974. His poems have appeared in journals in Mexico, Spain, Brazil, and the US. His first collection of poems, Pulsos, was published by Libros del umbral in 2008. He has just finished a new collection entitled, Beltane.

David Haney Trio with Blaise Siwula & Dominic Duval
David Haney - piano / Dominic Duval - bass / Blaise Siwula - reeds / Juan Pablo Carletti - drums

Pianist David Haney studied composition for six years with the great Czech composer, Tomas Svoboda. After years of working with the Society of Oregon Composers, Haney honed his skills as a jazz pianist, often paired up with some of the greatest minds in jazz improvisation. From the famed Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires, to the Bla Jazz in Oslo, Haney has performed worldwide with such featured artists as Andrew Cyrille, Roswell Rudd, John Tchicai, Bud Shank, Bernard Purdie, Buell Neidlinger, Julian Priester, Han Bennink, Obo Addy, Wilbert de Joode, Gerry Hemingway, Wolter Weirbos, Perry Robinson, and Johannes Bauer.

Haney has recorded 12 albums in ten years for C.I.M.P. Records and Cadence Jazz Records. He has also collaborated on 14 albums on other labels such as Canada Jazz Studio, That Swan Records, NoSeSo Records, and his own labels, JazzAudioDotCom, Arctic Records, and Space Rat Records.

He has received grants and commissions for his creative work from the U.S. State Department; Alberta Film Works; and the Oregon Ballet Theatre. He was awarded a travel grant from the U.S. State Department to present the music of composer Herbie Nichols in concerts throughout Argentina and Chile. Haney's piano/trombone work “Ota Benga of the Batwa” was included in the critics pick for best Jazz Album of 2007 (Coda Magazine). David's recent releases "Conspiracy a go go" and "Clandestine" were were both selected Top Ten Jazz Albums of 2009 (Cadence Magazine).

Dominic Duval is one of the most-recorded free jazz bassists on the planet. Associations with producer Bob Rusch's C.I.M.P. and Cadence Jazz labels and producer Leo Feigin's Leo Records led to Duval's appearances on an extraordinary number of albums. Everything Duval's recorded presents him in a positive light, yet there's so much to choose from, one hardly knows where to begin. Remarkable is its Nightbird Inventions, a solo disc made for Cadence Jazz on which Duval electronically manipulates the bass to fascinating ends. Other collaborations of note include the band Trio X, a cooperative trio with saxophonist Joe McPhee and drummer Jay Rosen, and his various projects with saxophonist Mark Whitecage. Duval has also recorded and toured as a member of pianist Cecil Taylor's band.

Saxophonist Blaise Siwula has been an active participant in New York's 'underground' jazz scene for the past two decades. Although he released several recordings on independent labels, it wasn't until the millennium that he started garnering attention. Siwula is a committed free player and his highly unique sound couples a dry throaty wail with a command of his instrument's entire range and a wavering vibrato that's very effective.

UNDO (U.S.A.)

UNDO is the name this musician uses for his solo performances and recordings. UNDO was born in London, England and currently lives in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

UNDO plays “Unguitar” – a term he coined in 1994 to describe his approach to guitar. “With UNDO I play guitar, but what you hear doesn’t really sound like a guitar as I use little pedals and delays to make very un-guitar-like sounds – hence the name, unguitar."

“I like if listeners have their own mental imagery to accompany their experience of this music. I like to slow things down. The time between when things happen makes this magical space I like to hold open as long as I can.”

UNDO music is at: http://www.myspace.com/undomusic
For information about UNDO releases, please contact UNDO at UNSTRUNGONE@YAHOO.COM.

Ginger Ibex:

One of Sharon Crumrine's earliest influences was Beethoven, whose music alternately rocks the world or moves listeners to tears with its dark lyrical beauty. She was also deeply affected by the Romantic Classical composers (Schubert, Rachmaninoff), Impressionistic composers, Middle Eastern modes, Tango and contemporary Rock. Betty Widerski's radically eclectic background (Classical gone Irish Punk/Rock/Improv) and endless creative & technical ability on a wild variety of stringed instruments, plus some percussion added to the mix, give Ginger Ibex a powerful yet lyrical sound.

David Maxwell presents
Gong With The Wind - Thibetan gongs and bowls

David Maxwell brings an assortment of seven gongs, including one
Balinese (male) and a bunch of Tibetan bowls and some miscellaneous
stuff to the resonant 186 space. Through this soundscape various
performers will interact; individually at first, and then in
combination of twos and threes and more ----possibly leading up to a
divine cacophony of ecstatic sound. Featured performers:
Allan Chase - soprano, alto and baritone saxes / Kelly Roberge - tenor sax / Fred Stubbs - ney (Turkish flute) / Tom Plesk - trombone, blown and bowed / Junko Simmons - cello / Bruno Raberg - double bass

Maxwell will play
the gongs and bowls and bring a Moroccan flute, raita and Tunisian
mijwids for some group fun.
All the usual blather about meditative and trance states will apply
if the gods cooperate. We are very hopeful.

rough night presents
Looper Super Group
basically a bunch of musicians getting together and looping the heck out of acoustic and electronic equipment, getting into feedback, serialism, drone, and more. Performers include Jesse Kaminsky, Keiichi Hashimoto, Kelley Roberge, Michael Dobiel, Travis Nutting, and plenty others.

MORE:

This “dream-team” of loop-artists includes James Coleman, a highly regarded electronic soloist known for his work with the Theremin, the rare electronic instrument created in 1928 and still notoriously difficult to master (Coleman’s Theremin was personally built for him by Robert Moog, creator of the eponymous synthesizer); Mike Dobiel, a Boston-based saxophonist and composer recently graduated from the Berklee College of Music, myspace.com/michaeldobiel; Travis Nutting, an guitarist and artist at the School of the MFA; and members of the horn trio Cereal, with Jesse Kaminsky and Kelly Roberge on saxophones, and Keiichi Hashimoto on trumpet. Kaminsky, a visual artist, is host of the WMBR radio program The Intercontinental, www.jessekaminsky.com, and Roberge was recently, glowingly, profiled in the Boston Phoenix with his other group, the Quartet of Happiness. Cereal, whose previous experience working together could help to serve as the show’s backbone, draws on the influence of jazz and folk music as well as drone and meditational practices to explore, in the group’s words, “the liminal states of sound.”

Biography
G Calvin Weston was born June 6, 1959 in Philadelphia, PA. He became interested in drums at the age of 6, when he (and his neighbors) discovered his talent for rhythm as he beat on every car on the block. He lived in North Philadelphia where he saw musicians like Stevie Wonder, The Jackson Five and James Brown at the Uptown Theatre. Seeing his attention focused on the drummers, his Father bought him a small set. In high school Calvin learned to read music and played second snare in the drum ensemble. He co-founded the group Bad Influence which played in cabarets and clubs around Philadelphia. At 17, Calvin joined Ornette Coleman's Prime Time Band,with bass player jamalaadean tacuma.and charlie ellarbee,his close friend from Philly, which toured extensively in North America and Europe. After recording four albums with Prime Time, Calvin went on to play and record with guitarist James "Blood" Ulmer, until he joined John Luries Lounge Lizards in 1990. During the late 90s Calvin recorded and toured with Billy Martin of Medeski Martin and Wood, Tricky, Eyvind Kang, Derek Baily, Mark Ribot, and James Carter. He also played on several movie soundtracks including "Get Shorty". For his latest project, Calvin Westons Big Tree, Calvin explores the many musical influences of his career as band leader and composer.He also has a new band with world guitarist,Vernon Reid and bass player,Jamalaadean tacuma and formed the group freeformfunkyfreqs and there new cd Urban Mythology Volume 1.
