Dutch reedist Ab Baars brings his trio (bassist Wilbert de Joode and drummer

Location: Community Music Center: 3350 SE Francis St Portland, OR 97202 (503) 823-3177
Price: $12 ($10 for students & members), tickets available at www.brownpapertickets.com

_______
The meeting of Dutch reedist Ab Baars and his American counterpart Ken Vandermark offers the uproar you'd expect when acknowledged tenor heavyweights join forces. But there's plenty more to enjoy than displays of heroic strength. This band, with bassist Wilbert de Joode and drummer Martin van Duynhoven shows open forms, varied improvisational strategies, wacky use of juxtaposition, and an unwillingness to treat jazz—or any music—as a fixed art form. They play two sets preceded by an artist’s talk.

Kai Fageshinski | clarinet, composition
Michael Theilke | clarinet, composition
Kai Fageshinski (Los Glissandinos, The Magic I.D., etc.) and Michael
Theilke (Unununium, The Magic I.D., etc.) are members of Berlin's
vibrant echtzeitmusik scene. The International Nothing (*2000) is
their hardest working project of the last years. They are working
exclusively on compositions (no improv), where both instruments melt
into one sound, which sometimes sounds like more than two instruments
through the extended use of multiphonics and difference tones. Their
pieces have a delicate and slowed down quality and celebrate a unique
and timeless beauty. They will present a collection of pieces
developed between 2003 and 2009.

Better Homes & Gardens (Reed Wallsmith, Sly Pig, Tim DuRoche, and Bob Jones) will be performing Tuesday, February 3 at Valentines (232 SW Ankeny Street in Portland) along with Oakland’s Painted Cakes and Portland’s own Bird Costumes. Music at 9 pm.
On the menu: Free Improvisation for a Brave New World. Shades and flavors recalling revolutionary jazz from the nostalgic era of late-60s Vietnam escalation, when fire, beauty, freedom and raw story-telling was a powerful currency in film, popular music and on the street and jazz was still a threat to the Man. Ah the good old days.
The Willamette Week’s Whitney Hawke gives it a high-five: “More exciting for Portlanders is the rare appearance of local gems Better Homes and Gardens—an orchestral indie ensemble comprised of members from Blue Cranes, the Decemberists and Evolutionary Jass Band.”

His music is diverse, with each album and every concert exploring a variety of approaches and paths, resulting in dramatically different outcomes.
Thollem is a recent recipient of a Meet The Composer grant. He was commissioned by The Limon Dance Company for a large-scale piece in commemoration of their 50th year anniversary. Last Autumn he spent 15 weeks playing 65 concerts circumnavigating the U.S. This September he has been invited to perform the late works of Claude Debussy on the piano on which they were written, as well as his own comprovisations with Stefano Scodanibbio. This will be the first album (They're Seen From Other Places) ever recorded on Debussy's piano.
Thollem has performed in theaters, art galleries, universities, elementary schools, concert halls, jazz clubs, rock clubs, festivals, warehouses, house concerts, streets, forests, riots and on television and radio. He has performed piano concertos with symphonies, played in West African drumming troupes, Javanese gamelan ensembles, an afro-punk band, with hundreds of free improv groups, and as an accompanist and a composer for opera and modern dance. His music appeals to a wide variety of audiences because of these rich and wildly disparate experiences. Currently Thollem Primarily plays his own comprovisations he calls Eccentriclect Music, for people and everyone else.

10/24: Wooley, Lytton w/ Swanson - NEW DATE
The date for this show is now FRIDAY, October 24th.
8PM

Lytton/Wooley Duo
Paul Lytton (drums, percussion, electronics) - legendary London improviser
Nate Wooley (trumpet) - Oregon born, and now an established NYC improviser http://www.natewooley.com/
The duo will be joined in the second set with local guest Pete Swanson (electronics/tape) - of Portland's acclaimed Yellows Swans http://www.jyrk.com/yellowswans/media.htm
about the Duo:
Two musicians of different backgrounds share passion for improvisation and redefining their instruments.
Genres are meant to be bent. That's what legendary British percussionist, Paul Lytton and New York trumpeter Nate Wooley believe. The two musicians, from seemingly different backgrounds and musical circles met up in 2006 to record their eponymous debut LP for Detroit's Broken Research Records.
Paul Lytton, known primarily in the US as the drummer for the ground breaking Evan Parker Trio, has been forging new ground as a free jazz percussionist, electronicist, and maker of instruments (for example, the lyttonophone) for almost 40 years. Along with Paul Lovens, Tony Oxley, and John Stevens, he is firmly entrenched in the British tradition of experimental improvisers who have gone beyond the jazz tradition to deal with a new way of improvising. Over the years, he has played with such improvising luminaries as Parker, Barry Guy, Marilyn Crispell, and Ken Vandermark.
Nate Wooley is a relative newcomer to improvised music circles, breaking into that public's consciousness with his solo recording, "wrong shape to be a storyteller" (Creative Sources Recordings) two years ago. Growing up in a small fishing town in Oregon, Nate got a solid jazz education from his father in a northwest coast dance band, but eschewed the tradition of jazz trumpet to concentrate on extreme sound, touring and recording with such hard noise and rock groups as Melee, Graveyards, and Akron/Family. He is currently working in New York with everyone from Drag City's David Grubbs to new music composer/bagpiper Matthew Welch.
The two met at a birthday concert for experimental jazz tubist, Carl Ludwig Huebsch in Cologne, Germany last year. Wooley remembers, "The whole group was playing very quietly, lots of silence. I love that kind of playing, but really prefer a wide dynamic range. Out of the blue, there was this huge crash in the corner. I think Paul had thrown all his percussion on the ground, just to shake things up. I went nuts. I thought, 'this is a real improviser'."

CANADA 1981
Director: RON MANN
Thu Jan 31 7:00 PM Whitsell Auditorium, Northwest Film Center
IMAGINE THE SOUND remains one of the best documents of free jazz ever made. Ron Mann and Coda Magazine editor Bill Smith profile four artists who were influential in the evolution of jazz into a free-form musical art beginning in the early '60s. The film catches pioneering pianists Cecil Taylor and Paul Bley, tenor saxophonist Archie Shepp, and trumpet player Bill Dixon in dynamic performances and fascinating interviews shedding light on their approaches to music and life and the history of this unique musical genre.

8/21: Improv at Valentines
Tuesday August twenty first at nine pm
at Valentines-232 SW Ankeny
JP Jenkins and Gregory Reynolds guitar and sax duets...
Asa Gervich, Johnathan Sielaff and Arrington DeDionysio drums and clarinets trio
A night of improvised music from some of Portlands finest and visiting sax champion; Gregory Reynolds. Gregory lives in Brooklyn and plays the saxophone (an alto) with stuff in the end of it sometimes. He sounds like a computer alot of the time. He can also circular breathe which means he can keep making sound for minutes at a time without taking a breath. That makes him really sound like a computer. I really like playing with him because he makes me look like I know what I am doing. That takes real talent. He has played with tons of other people besides me and they like his playing too. Or at least they say they do on the internet. He is really nice and we talk about tea and philosophy when we hang out. I think that probably has some bearing on the music we play together but as for what that is, your guess is as good as mine. We have done a few duets in the past and both enjoy them so on tuesday we will do some more because he will be in town for a few days.
The other group is 3 guys from Portland you might know from seeing in your neighborhood. They will play drums and 2 bass clarinets. If you have never heard a bass clarinet or even if you have you might be surprised at the sounds that get made. Both Arrington and Jonathan have been playing for a long time and that means they have alot of ideas about how to make interesting sounds come out of their horns. The best thing about this show for me is going to be how different each one of them plays the same instrument. Arrington is usually into textures and sound shapes and Jonathan seems to be more into note patterns and sometimes repetition. Often they each do something that is not their usual though, so it may become hard to tell who is playing what. Asa is always a ball of energy. I like his playing alot because he listens very well and gives people alot of ideas to improvise off of. I think this trio will be alot of fun to listen to.
at Valentines-232 SW Ankeny
JP Jenkins and Gregory Reynolds guitar and sax duets...
Asa Gervich, Johnathan Sielaff and Arrington DeDionysio drums and clarinets trio
A night of improvised music from some of Portlands finest and visiting sax champion; Gregory Reynolds. Gregory lives in Brooklyn and plays the saxophone (an alto) with stuff in the end of it sometimes. He sounds like a computer alot of the time. He can also circular breathe which means he can keep making sound for minutes at a time without taking a breath. That makes him really sound like a computer. I really like playing with him because he makes me look like I know what I am doing. That takes real talent. He has played with tons of other people besides me and they like his playing too. Or at least they say they do on the internet. He is really nice and we talk about tea and philosophy when we hang out. I think that probably has some bearing on the music we play together but as for what that is, your guess is as good as mine. We have done a few duets in the past and both enjoy them so on tuesday we will do some more because he will be in town for a few days.
The other group is 3 guys from Portland you might know from seeing in your neighborhood. They will play drums and 2 bass clarinets. If you have never heard a bass clarinet or even if you have you might be surprised at the sounds that get made. Both Arrington and Jonathan have been playing for a long time and that means they have alot of ideas about how to make interesting sounds come out of their horns. The best thing about this show for me is going to be how different each one of them plays the same instrument. Arrington is usually into textures and sound shapes and Jonathan seems to be more into note patterns and sometimes repetition. Often they each do something that is not their usual though, so it may become hard to tell who is playing what. Asa is always a ball of energy. I like his playing alot because he listens very well and gives people alot of ideas to improvise off of. I think this trio will be alot of fun to listen to.
8/19: No West Festival
From their website:
August 19TH - PORTLAND - Portland Art Center - 7PM
NO WEST is a music festival dedicated to developing the fast-growing community of Northwest improvisers. This year, NO WEST is proud to present 35 improvisers from the NW and beyond. Artists from Vancouver B.C., Portland, Bellingham, Olympia, Seattle, NYC, California & Tokyo will perform in Seattle & Portland. This year No West will also be opening its doors to improvisers working in the fields of dance and poetry.
The festival is designed to present improvised music in both informal and formal settings. Each city will host a semi-private daytime show at a player's home, followed by an evening performance at a public venue. This provides an enriching opportunity for both improvisers and the communtiy. Started in 2005, NO WEST has presented many Northwest musicians in the field of improvised music. Festival organizers have included Gust Burns, Bryan Eubanks, Jonathan Sielaff & Jason E Anderson.
