Jeff Davis Band (8:30pm)
Kirk Knuffke (cornet)
Jon Goldberger (guitar)
Jesse Stacken (piano/nord)
Eivind Opsvik (bass)
Jeff Davis (drums)

Drummer/composer Jeff Davis is known as the propulsive force behind a host New York mainstays. Troy Collins (All About Jazz) says that “like many of his generation, his writing encompasses a number of genres, yet Davis understands the importance of creating a context for such diversity. Sequencing individual tunes into a suite-like program, the set unfolds episodically, seamlessly blending divergent moods.” And Bruce Lee Gallanter (Downtown Music Gallery) described Jeff Davis’s first disc as a leader as “a powerful debut from one of Downtown’s best drummers.” Davis guides his band just to the edge of chaos while at the same time exercising focus and restraint. The group weaves through Davis’s compositions with a hypnotic ease, creating moods that are at times peaceful and other times explosive.

Devin Gray’s Dirigo Rataplan (9:30pm)
Ellery Eskilin (tenor sax)

ELEONOR SANDRESKY – 8:30pm
The Mary Oliver Songs Bk 1: The Return
Based on a poem by Pulitzer prize-winning poet Mary Oliver, The Return, the creation of the piece initially took the poem as a point of departure, although through the process of making this piece, I was increasingly drawn into the story of the slaying of the Minotaur, or, as Ms. Oliver’s title implies, the slayer’s return after the slaying. The material for the music was taken from a reading of the poem that was recorded and then processed. This yielded certain pitch and rhythmic material that recurs throughout the movements. The titles of the movements, of which there are seven, refer to the text of the poem, although not necessarily in the order that they appear.

JP SCHLEGELMILCH & MICHAEL CLEMOW – 9:30pm
Structured Improvisations for Piano and DSP
In this performance we will create a musical structure by joining two distinctly different instruments (an acoustic piano and digital processing) in an improvisational dialogue. The sound of the piano is sampled and transformed in real time, setting in motion a dynamic musical framework where even the smallest sounds can become woven into a complex musical web. As we listen and respond to each other, a world of surprising new sonic textures emerges and evolves from moment to moment.

Ensemble, Et Al. 8:30 PM

A Brooklyn-based pseudo-classical percussion ensemble led by Ron Tucker.
http://www.ensembleetal.com/

Loop 2.4.3 9:30 PM
Loop 2.4.3 is a composer/performer duo that has drawn comparisons to Steve Reich, Battles, Harry Partch, Moondog, Konono No.1, Brian Eno, and Belle Orchestre – an assortment that alludes to their hard to classify, yet visceral aesthetic.

Thomas Kozumplik – percussion
Lorne Watson – percussion

http://www.loop243.com/

This concert showcases 2 groups that both feature drums and keyboard percussion, yet with very different and uniquely interesting results. Melodicism and infectious rhythm are uniting factors, but ensemble, et al focuses more on meditative grooves, while Loop 2.4.3 creates sonic journeys tinged with romanticism and psychedelia.

Ron Tucker, the creator of ensemble, et al, met Loop 2.4.3 at a live show and asked to buy the score for their work, Zodiac Dust, to perform it with a group he was creating. This stimulated Kozumplik and Watson to actually write the piece out! It seems natural that these two groups will now share the stage for the first time.

Maria Stankova – voice
Gelsey Bell is a singer, songwriter, and scholar. She has released two studio albums, Under A Piano (2005) and In Place of Arms (2010), and two experimental albums, February (2008) and Love Is Just a Crack In the Space of You (2009). Composer and vocalist Odeya Nini, constructs acoustic, electro acoustic, and electronic music, incorporating experimental improvisation and malleable forms. Maria Stankova is a vocalist/composer who grew up in Sofia, Bulgaria. Her recent musics explore the liberating powers of restriction and the (im)possibilities of timbre in both performance and composition.

David Whitwell continues his program of new works for trombone. This night includes: Marc Thorman’s Kerouac Poems for String Quartet and Speaker, Jay Vilnai’s Only One is a Wanderer for Trombone Duet performed with Jen Baker Joe White’s F*#kfest for Tuba and Trombone, performed in a full version with tubist Chadwick Walther, Amir Shpilman’s Abashment for Trombone and String Quartet (a piece premiered by David with the MIVOS string quartet) and Jakob Polaczyk’s Combonations on Olympus.

With a shared background in an enormously diverse array of music — comprising everything from noise, punk and funk bands, to contemporary classical, electro-acoustic, jazz both “free” and “traditional” and much else besides — Chemistry Set is a 21st century improvising acoustic chamber trio unstuck in genre, radically recombinant, discovering new questions to old answers, collectivizing individual intellectual acuity and soul imperative through eclectically rigorous harmolodic invention. It’s jewels we make. We don’t get alot of gigs.
