Mon Feb 28 21 CENTURY SCHIZOID MUSIC PRESENTS: NICK BROOKE
Nick Brooke--new music for electronics, lipsynching, and gamelan.
Nick Brooke's unique mix of sampling and lipsynching has been called “giddily disorienting" and “deftly blended" (New York Times), and hailed as some of the “most exciting and innovative" recent work in musical theater (Meredith Monk). February 28's program features new music for gamelan and electronics, as well as selections from Tone Test, premiered last summer at the Lincoln Center Festival. 8:30PM Cover $10 www.nbrooke.com
Tue Mar 01 JONATHAN KREISBERG QUINTET Jonathan Kreisberg-guitar, Scott Wendholt-trumpet, Aaron Goldberg-keys, Ugonna Okegwo-bass, Mark Ferber-drums “Guitarist Jonathan Kreisberg led a quintet at Cornelia Street. Armed with ridiculous chops and a singing, straightahead tone, Kreisberg tore through a batch of tremendous original jazz, matching wits with the other monster soloists on the bandstand. The writing was highly advanced yet accessible, and deeply in the pocket. He's truly one of New York's undiscovered treasures." David Adler-All About Jazz 8:30PM Cover $10 www.jonathankreisberg.com
Wed Mar 02 TANYA KALMANOVITCH: MAJOR OVER MINOR & HUT FIVE (MAJOR OVER MINOR: Rob Thomas, violin; Tanya Kalmanovitch, violin & viola; Lindsey Horner, acustic bass; HUT FIVE: Tanya Kalmanovitch, violin & viola; Pete McCann, guitar; John Herbert, bass; Owen Howard, drums) A formidable classical performer, Kalmanovitch is fast developing a reputation in the international jazz and creative music community as an innovator on her primary instrument, the viola. She explores the viola’s dark, warm terrain, uncovering its rich, vocal qualities in the context of jazz and free improvisation. Unabashedly expressive and a fierce technician, Kalmanovitch’s breathtaking performances have garnered rave reviews in DownBeat, Coda, the Montreal Gazette, and the Irish Times.
On March 2, Kalmanovitch will be showcasing her range in two separate projects. At 8:30 PM she will be performing with Major Over Minor, a collaborative acoustic string trio with violinist Rob Thomas and bassist Lindsey Horner. In this performance, the trio will be improvising over Bela Bartok’s 44 Duos for Violin, exploring the unique harmonic and melodic soundscapes in the composer’s miniatures.
For the second set at 10:00 PM, Kalmanovitch will feature her electric quartet Hut Five. Joined by guitarist Pete McCann, bassist John Hebert, and drummer Owen Howard, she will perform original compositions blending her primary musical influences: contemporary jazz, 20th Century classical music, rock and free improvisation. Central to the group’s aesthetic is the idea of expressive contrasts. The original compositions span the poles of extended composition and free improvisation, and Kalmanovitch’s rich viola and sweet violin float over the astringent chromaticism and rhythmic complexity of her compositions. The group has released two records on Perspicacity. 8:30PM Cover $10 www.tanyakalmanovitch.com
