epistrophy arts Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 Epistrophy Arts presents Nohband David Torn - electric guitar Tim Berne - alto saxophone David King - drums Wednesday, October 26 8PM The North Door (502 Brushy) Austin,Texas https://www.artful.ly/epistrophy-arts David Torn's Nohband is a sonic voyage that defies categories and blurs boundaries, featuring three of the most recognizable names in experimental jazz with Tim Berne, and Dave King. The music has all of the David Torn trademarks: multi-layered textures, thick chords, disruptions, distortions and hypnotic loops. Torn wraps his sounds around those of his band mates, often taking apart their improvisations and reassembling them.www.screwgunrecords.comdaveking.netwww.davidtorn.nethttp://www.thebadplus.com/ “Torn, with his loops and sheer psychedelic abandon, is able to create dense textures, screaming intervallic leaps and dark-hued washes of sound that are as ingenious as they are impossible to imitate.” Downbeat “His (Torn's) work is very spiritual, and has an ephemeral quality that I adore.” David Bowie “Few musicians working in or around jazz over the past 30 years have developed an idiomatic signature more distinctive than Tim Berne.” New York Times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bria Skonberg will be at the Petroleum Club of Midland on Thursday, November 17, 2016. The Canadian singer, trumpeter, and songwriter Bria Skonberg is described by The Wall Street Journal as one of the “most versatile and imposing musicians of her generation.” Noted as a Millennial “Shaking Up the Jazz World,” according to Vanity Fair, Skonberg is a self-described “small town girl” from Chilliwack, British Columbia. The board of the West Texas Jazz Society has elected to have the 51st Collaboration in May 2017 – more details to follow! 2 hours ago, JSngry said: Ancient history by now, but apparently something got tweeted.

JSngry Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Not on this horizon at this time. 2016 has been one weird year, lots of personal stuff to deal with. But I ain't dead yet and the people I play with still conversate with me. So there will be more, at some point. "Career" is the punch line of a sick joke for me, but "giving it all up" is not an option, desired or otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second set will be performed with Turrell's Night Piece.FREE Admission Ran Blake (Boston, MA) - piano Deeply introspective, often starkly expressed and sometimes beautifully austere, Ran Blake possesses one of the truly personal stylistic voices of modern jazz. It's is a piano music that is unquestionably of the idiom. Yet it defies the easy linear histories that simplify jazz as a succession of heroic musical innovations, and that position artists on a chronology of what is supposedly avant-garde. Much of Ran Blake's unique musical world is constructed from a combination of clear yet seamless inspirations. His deft ear and adroit touch that dovetail blues tonalities and atonalism are likely born from the marriage of early influences such as Bartok, Debussy, Stravinsky, Monk and Ellington. But other influences may be more surprising. Important to Blake is his love of singers like Mahalia Jackson, Al Green and Ray Charles. Far from mere stylistic influences, they are inspirations in the deepest sense, and subjects of study. One of Blake's most important influences is not directly musical. He apparently had a life epiphany at the age of 12, when he saw the film Spiral Staircase. And he watched the thriller 20 times in a three-week period. Of this period, Blake said: "Plots, scenes, and melodic and harmonic surfaces intermingled, obtruding into my day life as well as my dreams." He began mentally placing himself inside noir films. This, as well as real life scenarios, inspired his first original compositions. The influence of the Pentecostal church music he heard growing up in Suffield, Connecticut, combined with his musical immersion in what he terms "a film noir world" and laid the groundwork for his earliest musical style. He was formally and informally a student of some of the most impressive names in modern jazz, including Mary Lou Williams, Oscar Peterson, Mal Waldron, Bill Russo and Gunther Schuller. It was Schuller, who brought him on to the faculty of the New England Conservatory of Music, the first American conservatory to offer a degree in jazz. There, the future MacArthur "Genus" founded the Contemporary Improvisation Department and developed his pedagogical approach, called "The Primacy of the Ear". At New England Conservatory he became highly influential himself, mentoring generations of musicians including Matthew Shipp, Don Byron and John Medeski. "Here there is jazz per se, and there is music that sounds like Debussy improvising alone at night in a big room, trying to scare himself." - Ben Ratliff, New York Times About Ran Blake: https://ranblake.com/ About Live Oak Friends Meeting House:http://www.friendshouston.org/skyspace/about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally, a room. That empty space in the middle was pretty much all piano. Made it down for this last night, ended up sitting front row to the right hand side of the piano, about even with the dampers about 3 feet from the piano played by Ran Blake, who is now 81 and gets around with a walker. Seems that he had been in Houston for a few days, and had visited the grave of Jean Tierney while there. Was able to hear the instrument fully from both above and underneath it's soundboard,, as well as watch the pedal work. Believe me, it was as close to total immersion in Ran Blake's music as you can get in a public performance setting. Two sets, solo, the first one continuous medley, the second broken by a quite startling stop to allow him to stand up and rotate around the room to say hi, thanks for coming out tonight, now we'd like to play, all while really twisting his legs around while holding on the the chair, it was very dramatic. And then he sat down and played the rest of the set, again uninterrupted.and SRO crowd in a very small space, plenty of body heat warming up the room, and this old man is playing piano with a full size knit scarf/muffler/whatever it is wrapped around his neck. Beside Autumn Leaves & Laura, he also played Let's Stay Together & Never Can Say Goodbye, and at the merchandise table in the lobby, besides the usual merchandises for sale, they were giving away free uninflated balloons with the Ran Blake "black bag" logo on them. "Take as many as you want" they said. The concert was free, started at 5 PM, and although the capacity of the seating looked to be about 125-150, there was still overflow crowd, literally SRO. Even with stopping for dinner on the way back, we were back in Dallas at 11:30. It was a very powerful, impactful evening. Ran Blake is a very weighty proposition no matter what, but live, at this age, in a venue like this...wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
