7:30 PM Myles Boisen's Past-Present-Future
8:30 PM Touch & Go Quintet, featuring Avram Fefer
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Myles Boisen's Past-Present-Future is an ongoing band project dedicated to improvisation and instrumental abstraction of the language of the blues. Boisen is a guitarist and composer well-known to Bay Area audiences after years of playing and recording with The Splatter Trio,Clubfoot Orchestra, Tom Waits, John Zorn, Rova Saxophone Quartet, et.al.

Touch & Go is a new ensemble co-led by New York saxophonist/composer Avram Fefer and Bay Area drummer/improviser Vijay Anderson.

Fefer, a mainstay in the New York jazz-creative music scene, has performed and recorded is own music extensively over the last 20 years, working in Paris with expats Sunny Murray, Graham Haynes and Archie Shepp, and in NY as a sideman with artists like David Murray, Butch Morris and Frank Lacy. Anderson, among the hardest working drummers on the local scene, plays in ensembles led by Graham Connah, Adam Lane, and Aaron Bennett, and leads several of his own improvising groups. Avram and Vijay have been playing together over the past four years in groups led by NYC bassist Adam Lane, and they meet here in a new ensemble assembled by Vijay. Both musicians share an interest in music ('jazz' or otherwise) that pushes forward, focuses on creative individuality, and highlights group interaction.

This evening's performance includes some of the area's finest musicians playing original compositions by the band members, which
will serve as springboards for group improvisation.
