Scott Amendola, Trevor Dunn, and Phillip Greenlief have been working together in various configurations for more than 30 years. Here we are pleased to present these storied players in a classic horn - bass - drums trio, a historic jazz formation that each of these players has expanded and exploded. Their distinguished solo careers have seen them share stage and studio with eminent artists ranging from Fred Frith, Meredith Monk and Mr Bungle to Buzz Osborne, Zeena Parkins and John Zorn. But it is this time-tested relationship that conjures their most personal and profound creations.
Whether mining electro-acoustic textures that veer into microscopic noise, or the cross pollinated avant garde history to which these musicians have been active contributors, this trio creates spontaneous improvisations that evoke both abandon and crafted composition. The musicians' formal and stylistic experimentation is always in service of urgent emotion; you can hear it in the duo recordings of Greenlief and Amendola (Collect My Thoughts, on Nine Winds; Stay With It, on Clean Feed Records) and Greenlief and Dunn (Untitled on Greenlief's Evander Music; Twenty-Seven, on Dunn's Riverworm imprint), as well as in the extensive body of work Amendola and Dunn have created with the Nels Cline Singers.
Doors are at 7pm and music will start at 730. This show is all ages and seating is limited and also first come first served.
