From JP and The CMG:
Announcing the grand opening of:
The Alice Coltrane Memorial Coliseum
hope to see you at our first show:
Matt Ingalls, Sam Coomes, Mitchell Brown, The Tenses
Sunday, April 10th, 2011
The Alice Coltrane Memorial Colosseum, 5135 ne 42nd
8pm
Sliding Scale $5-15
The Creative Music Guild, in conjunction with the grand opening of new arts venue The Alice Coltrance Memorial Coliseum, is proud to present a night of innovative music by Matt Ingalls, Sam Coomes, Mitchell Brown, and The Tenses. These acclaimed musicians from divergent but complementary aesthetic backgrounds will traverse varied musical realms in this rare performance.
Sam Coomes (Portland) is a talented multi-instrumentalist who plays in experimental bands Quasi and Pink Mountain and has performed and recorded with Elliot Smith, Sleater-Kinney, Built to Spill, and Heatmiser.
Matt Ingalls (SF) is a master clarinetist and composer whose solo improvisations explore extended clarinet techniques that interact with the acoustic space. Ingalls has worked with Anthony Braxton, John Butcher, Meredith Monk, Pauline Oliveros and many others. The music press has responded,
"...shockingly talented..." -- Richard Warp, Oakland Music Examiner [12/15/2010]
"...awe-inspiring, reminding us that one does not need the full force of a symphony orchestra or all of the stops pulled out on a pipe organ to evoke the presence of something far greater than oneself. The overall experience was one of exhilaration." -- Stephen Smoliar, San Francisco Classical Examiner [8/21/2010]
Mitchell Brown is an experimental musician from LA. Brown doubles as Professor Cantaloupe while DJing on KXLU. He runs the Melon Expander record label, supporting humble hermits working in the field of head music. He has performed and/or recorded analog electronic and/or electro-acoustic music with: Joseph Hammer, Rick Potts, Joe Potts, Damian Bisciglia, Trevor Wishart, Tom Recchion, Petra Haden, Leticia Castaneda, Jeremy Drake, John Weise, Ezra Buchla, Lionel Marchetti, Jerome Noetinger, Space Machine, Points of Friction, and Thomas Dimuzio among others.
For this performance, Matt Ingalls will perform a short solo, Ingalls and Coomes will perform in duo, followed by a trio of Mitchell Brown (LA, electronics) and The Tenses.

3/15/11: CMG Present John Butcher & Gino Robair w/ locals
Tuesday, March 15, 2011: John Butcher (London; saxophones) and Gino Robair (San Francisco; percussion) at WorkSound (sliding scale - $5-15)
The Creative Music Guild is proud to present an evening of new music by world-class improvising musicians John Butcher (London; saxophones) and Gino Robair (San Francisco; percussion).
The Butcher/Robair duo is an established partnership of master musicians. These veteran improvisors play wildly creative music that runs the gamut from ecstatic to deadly serious, from contemplative to caustic. Butcher and Robair are visionaries in the innovative techniques and sheer musicality they bring to their instruments.
"In the hands of London improvisor John Butcher, the saxophone can sound like anything, from a peice of hollowed out brass baubled with pads and valves to a hermetically sealed feedback system, a minature sound enviroment teeming with ever-evolving note forms, or a huge echo chamber inflicting dub scale damage on every breath." - Wire
"Robair is an enormously talented percussionist, with a thorough-going musicality and an instinct for the unexpected." - The Penguin Guide to Jazz
For this Portland performance, the audience will be treated to a stunning duo set by Butcher and Robair followed by a second set in which Butcher and Robair will lead an ensemble of notable Portland musicians including Matt Carlson & Jonathan Sielaff (Golden Retriever), Brian Mumford (Dragging an Ox Through Water), Mary Sutton, Dr. John C. Savage, John Niekrasz (Why I Must Be Careful), Catherine Lee and Ben Kates (Thicket).

Jack Wright is a living legend; a master saxophonist from Philadelphia who has been playing improvised music exclusively since the 1970s. "Raw, visceral, urgent, his music demands to be heard" (The Wire). "The saxophonist Jack Wright remains the most indispensable musician of his generation. A true catalyst of energy, [...] he is still the reference par excellence for all the generations who have followed" (Jazzosphere no. 19).
Gust Burns is a ground-breaking pianist and composer from Seattle where he performs with a wide swath of contemporary avant musicians, teaches, and directs the Seattle Improvised Music Festival. Portland's own Mark Kaylor is a sensitive and visionary improvisor on drums. He performs with Hammer of Hathor, Kinetic Harpoon, and many of Portland's musical stalwarts.
For this Portland performance, the audience will be treated to one stellar set by Wright, Burns, and Kaylor followed by two shorter sets featuring Portland musicians hand-picked by Wright and Burns including Tim DuRoche (drums), Heather Vergotis (sax, guitar), and John Niekrasz (drums).
