Musicians' Collective Harks Back to '70s Avant-Garde
The rainstorm raging outside Never Ending Books, a modest space on State Street, seemed to echo the sonic deconstruction taking place inside as the New Haven Improvisers Collective held its monthly workshop dedicated to breaking down music into its basic parts and building it up again on the fly. The workshop focused on melodic fragments, metric ...
Interview: Marty Sheller (Part 3)
