IJKL at The Monday Make Out, Sept. 7
Hello Folks,I wanted to let you know about a show coming up this Monday night which I'm excited about--I'm going to be debuting a brand new project at the Monday Make Out music series at the Make Out Room in the Mission, which has been a great showcase for creative and experimental music for years.Based on a shared love of free jazz and group improvisation, IJKL brings together my long-time collaborators alto saxophonist Kasey Knudsen and drummer Jon Arkin, along with acclaimed bassist and composer Lisa Mezzacappa ("one of the most imaginative figures on the Bay Area creative jazz scene" —San Jose Mercury News) in this adventurous new quartet.The group is dedicated to performing a new book of compositions by me, inspired by classic and current legends of free improvisation including Ornette Coleman, Anthony Braxton, John Carter, Jimmy Giuffre and others.We're going to be playing the third and final set of the night (probably starting around 10pm) and will be preceded by Sound Etiquette (Aaron Levin, Nick Obando and Eli Wallace) and Past-Present-Future (Myles Boisen, John Hanes and Lisa Mezzacappa).And there's no cover! Hope to see you there.WHAT: The Monday Make Out, with IJKL (Kasey Knudsen, alto saxophone; Jon Arkin, drums; Lisa Mezzacappa, bass; and Ian Carey, trumpet), plus Sound Etiquette and Past-Present-FutureWHEN: Monday, September 7, 8:30pWHERE: The Make Out Room, 3225 22nd St, San FranciscoHOW MUCH: Free!
