| Bill Gerhardt's Cotangent Quartet at Sweet Rhythm Bill Gerhardt's Cotangent Quartet (Bill Gerhardt - piano/composition, Marc Mommaas - sax, Mike Holstein - bass, Tim Horner - drums) with special guests Ron Horton- trumpet and Mark Reboul- waterphone will perform Thursday November 2nd, 2006 at Sweet Rhythm, New York, NY. The quartet Cotangent was formed in 1999 in New York City. Mommaas and Gerhardt first met in Amsterdam, the Netherlands where they planned to some day form a group. Their first self-titled release was produced after a series of performances that culminated with a fundraiser for regional music programs in Gerhardt's home town of Cape Girardeau, Missouri. The band performs regularly at Sweet Rhythm (formally Sweet Basil) in New York. They have also participated in several programs for the Jazz Composers Forum including holding composition and small combo workshops throughout the Carolinas and appearing on the Main Street Jazz and Concert on the Quad series. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
