what I'm looking forward to: Here is the Cornelia Street Cafe show for 9/7: Saturday, Sep 07 - 9:00PM & 10:30PM CHRIS LIGHTCAP - BIGMOUTH Chris Lightcap, bass; Chris Cheek, tenor sax; Tony Malaby, tenor sax; Matt Mitchell, piano; Gerald Cleaver, drums For two nights Bigmouth will perform a new batch of music by Chris Lightcap, commissioned by Chamber Music America and premiered at the 2012 Earshot Jazz Festival. They will also play music from their acclaimed CD, "Deluxe" which was named one of the best CDs of 2010 by the New York Times, NPR, Jazz Times and the Village Voice. "Righteous" ...NY Times "Superb"...Wall Street Journal "****1/2"...Downbeat then: And I will try to make the Sunday night shows for this - if the weather is somewhat cool and not 80's and 90's outside - I am already making the Cornelia Street show on the 7th: Also at The Stone: 9/7 & 9/8: 8 pm Jones Jones Vladimir Tarasov (percussion) Mark Dresser (bass) Larry Ochs (saxes) Ochs and Tarasov met and recorded together when Rova first toured the former USSR in 1983. He was already a legend in the USSR as one of the players in the original Ganelin Trio, as important a band there for "avant-garde" listeners in the sixties and seventies as the Art Ensemble of Chicago was here. Dresser met him not long after that, and they performed together intermittently in ensuing years. This trio first performed in the Bay Area in 2008, with tours to Europe in 2009 and 2010. First East Coast performances. 10 pm Ochs-Shelton Quartet Aram Shelton (alto sax) Mark Dresser (bass) Kjell Nordesen (drums) Larry Ochs (saxes) This is a West Coast quartet. Mark Dresser is the newest member simply because it's been hard to catch him in San Francisco when he's usually very busy down at UCSD in San Diego. A recording session and concerts by the quartet out here in July has the music focused! Great writing for the band by Shelton (especially) and Ochs. Kjell Nordesen was born in Sweden but has been a West Coast resident for close to a decade. He works with all 3 of the other players in this band in other contexts All below at The Stone: 9/18 Wednesday 8 pm Duos Evan Parker (saxes) John Escreet (piano) John Hébert (drums) Tyshawn Sorey (percussion) TWENTY DOLLARS. 10 pm Quartet Evan Parker (saxes) John Escreet (piano) John Hébert (drums) Tyshawn Sorey (percussion) TWENTY DOLLARS 9/20 Friday 8 pm Mat Manieri, Lucian Ban, Evan Parker Mat Manieri (viola) Lucian Ban (piano) Evan Parker (saxes) TWENTY DOLLARS. 10 pm Evan Parker and Sylvie Courvoisier Evan Parker (saxes) Sylvie Courvoisier (piano) TWENTY DOLLARS.
