MIKE HANSEN • EUGENE CHADBOURNE • JOE MCPHEE
(Hamilton) (Greensboro, NC) (NY)
record player banjo, vocals reeds, trumpet
3 solo sets back to back by 3 originals ...alone and overlapping. A sound sculptor, a strings inventor/ iconoclast, a reeds/ brass master... fresh ideas, grooves, the nectar... in 3 parts!
CLUTTERTONES (Toronto)
LINA ALLEMANO trumpet
TIM POSGATE banjo, guitar
ROB CLUTTON double bass
RYAN DRIVER analogue synth
Drawing from a broad range of experience—which includes jazz, European classical music, electronica, improvisation, folk, singer-songwriter, experimental— Cluttertones play what some have called “otherworldly chamber music.” Nothing cluttered about this rigorously composed, spontaneously arranged contemporary quartet!
MCPHEE / CALOIA / STEWART (NY/Montreal/Ottawa)
JOE MCPHEE reeds, brass
NICOLAS CALOIA bass
JESSE STEWART drums
A power trio that rarely plays together, this unit is even bigger than the sum of its parts. Saxophonist Joe McPhee is a treasure, free jazz royalty, one of the torchbearers for the art form for over 50 years! Bassist Nicolas Caloia represents the best of what Montreal has to offer, as a player and an organizer of the grand Ratchet Orchestra, In The Sea and many more. Jesse Stewart represents the best of Ottawa; as a very active teacher, instrument-maker, artist and improviser... not to mention a deep drummer!
