BassDrumBone, Mark Helias, Gerry Hemingway and Ray Anderson, now enjoying it's 39th year of performing their collective and diverse repertoire of original work together will make an all too rare appearance Wednesday February 17 for the second set only at 9:30. The longevity of this trio seems to retains it's strength from the individual evolution of these three bandleader/composer's music which ranges from hard swinging blues and second line to the far reaches of color, texture and rigorous compositional structure. The bazillions of miles this trio accrued playing for audiences all over the world has heightened what began as a natural and immediate chemistry in 1977.

Part of the concert series of the new Jazz Loft. My Pocket Brass Band featuring Tom Manuel, trumpet; José Davila, sousaphone; and Tommy Campbell, drums.

Eine hochexplosive Mischung – das Aufeinanderprallen von Naturgewalten, das laute Ticken der
Urstunde. Diese vier Musiker sind mit allen Wassern gewaschene Jazzer, die jedes Raffinement zu kennen
scheinen. Ray Anderson gilt als herausragender Posaunist der amerikanischen New-Jazz-Szene und das
Trio Noisy Minority des Zürcher Saxophonisten Omri Ziegele ist seit bald 20 Jahren bekannt für seine
ungebremste Expressivität und atemberaubende Beschleunigungskraft. Omri Ziegele & Ray Anderson
haben neue Kompositionen für dieses Projekt geschrieben. Die beiden liefern sich also nicht nur auf der
Bühne die tollkühnsten Duelle. Man darf gespannt der dritten Auflage dieser Combo entgegensehen.

viDEO sAVant makes Spontaneous Cinema, performances in which the images and sounds are created in real- time in front of the audience. As the musicians watch the screen, they react to the flow of pictures, the music evolving in response to this visual score. The images in turn are being composed and manipulated in response to the music. The work is improvisational, with an emphasis on process and the dynamic evolution of the material, as sound and image lead each other back and forth in the mix.

with Steve Salerno, guitar; Dean Johnson, bass; and Phil Haynes, drums.

BassDrumBone, which is Mark Helias, Gerry Hemingway and Ray Anderson, respectively, is now in its 32nd year, a remarkable longevity few groups can claim. Like the Modern Jazz Quartet or the Emerson Quartet, the group possesses a lightning-fast sensitivity and ability to communicate which is clearly the product of their long association and deep respect for each other. The trio has the all the musical advantages of a true cooperative: three absolutely original instrumentalists who are also composers come together and inspire each other.
