Jacob William returns his Para Quintet to Outpost 186 on Saturday March 24th after an interlude of gigs in other dubious roosts.
Now that he is once more in the cozier confines of the Outpost, free of the concerns attending tavern work, he'll shine at his usual level of dazzle with his astute and earnest compadres. Laurence Cook will once again demonstrate his agile defiance of the aging process til the walls well ring as sonic cascades, thunderclaps and whirlwinds ricochet around the coy room from the applied exhaustiveness hurtling every which way.
Jim Hobbs, fresh from the triumphant release of Aych on Relative Pitch Records, will be at a sharply honed frenzy point as Steve Lantner focuses on the moment in his laser like way and the astute conjurations of Forbes Graham make a sonic mandala mosaic of it all.

In other Outpost news.
Our very own beloved Dr T has trotted out a well polished gem from the vault of his imaginative capacities. Don't let that anarchist beard, those Clyde Crashcup glasses and the aged baseball cap fool you. Dr. T is to his art what the musicians are to theirs. He has brought the many astonishing qualities of the structural film tribe to the age of web 2.0.
The facets of the gem turn on lung powers pumped by no less than stalwarts, Neil Leonard, Tom Plsek and the aforementioned team of Graham and Hobbs. It promises to be light years ahead of “Four Brothers."

I play frequently with Vinny Golia, Alex Cline, Scott Amendola, Steve Adams, Lucio Menegon, Amy Reed, poets Josh Fernandez and NSAA, Phillip Greenlief, Lisa Mezzacappa and many more.
