His last album was released on Aphex Twin’s Rephlex Records to international acclaim. This is the first time he has visited New York. Over the course of two concerts, he will play a series of duet and trio performances with free jazz bass master William Parker, and electronic artist Guillermo E Brown, a pivotal force in Thirsty Ear’s seminal Blue Series. Expect a variety of duet and trio performances bridging the gulfs between avant-jazz, hip hop, Afro-Cuban and Reich-esque minimalism. This concert is part of a digital arts project entitled Folk Songs for the Five Points, creating an interactive map of the Lower East Side which will allow visitors to remix a wide variety of musical and field recordings (the sounds of passing trucks, market shouts, buskers, church songs etc), creating new “folk songs” for the area. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Jazz News :: home page |
