THREE WORLD RENOWNED JAZZ AND IMPROVISATIONAL MUSICIANS, CELLIST HANK ROBERTS, PIANIST JOHN STETCH AND DRUMMER JIM BLACK PERFORM TOGETHER AS THE HANK ROBERTS TRIO. For the past 46 years improvisational cellist HANK ROBERTS has been creating new sounds on the cello. His rhythmic, harmonic, emotional and timbrel approach to the cello distinguishes him as a unique voice on the instrument and in the world of new music. He’s created an extensive body of music as a composer and recording artist, and has collaborated and performed with world class artists such as Bill Frisell, Hal Willner, Tim Berne, Andy Summers, Gavin Friday, Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, Larry Mullen, Gerry Hemingway, Mark Feldman, Mark Dresser, Joel Grey, Dave King and Ethan Iverson from “The Bad Plus”, Donna the Buffalo, Sim Redmond Band, Kevin Kinsella, Wingnut, and Ti Ti Chickapea. He is featured on Bill Frisell’s Grammy Award winning CD ‘Unspeakable” and Grammy nominated CD ‘History/Mystery’. JIM BLACK is at the forefront of a new generation of musicians bringing Jazz into the 21st century. Based on the foundation of his virtuosic but highly personal approach to jazz drumming, Black’s aesthetic has expanded to include Balkan rhythms, rock songcraft and laptop soundscapes. Although he is revered worldwide for his limitless technique and highly creative approach, many listeners treasure the relentless feeling of joy and invention that he brings to performances. The rhythmic mastery and timbrel-tonal colors that he expresses on his instruments is unprecedented. He has performed extensively throughout the world with a host of great musicians including Tim Berne, Ellery Eskelin, Dave Douglas, Uri Cain, Dave Liebman, Satoko Fujii, and Laurie Anderson. Jim and Hank have been friends and musical collaborators since 1990. They have toured Europe extensively, and are featured together on Hank’s 2008 Winter and Winter recording, “Green” which won the German Critics’ Award in 2008 and received great reviews in the press, including the NY Times. JOHN STETCH is regarded as one of the finest jazz pianists anywhere. He’s received 5 Juno Award nominations. He won the Prix du Jazz at the Montreal Jazz Festival in 1998, placed 2nd in the 1994 Thelonius Monk International composer’s Competition, has been frequently recorded by the CBC, and has appeared on several NPR programs such as Marian McPartland’s “Piano Jazz” and “Jazz Set” with Brandford Marsalis. He’s performed throughout the world with artists such as Rufus Reid, Charlie Haden, Seamus Blake, Mark Turner, Jeff Ballard, Jorge Rossi, Victor Lewis, Billy Hart, and many others. His latest CD, ‘TV Trio’ received glowing reveiws in Downbeat Magazine and other publications.

Annie Gosfield’s Experimental and Traditional Sound

From NYTimes.com:

John Zorn, the artistic director of the Stone, a small performance space in the East Village, has turned over the programming this month to his colleague Annie Gosfield. The series she has assembled, with two shows most nights, is a broad representation of the experimental music world. In her first week she devoted evenings to improvisation, bands that straddle rock and the avant-garde, composer-performer concerts, and recitals by the new-music pianists Sarah Cahill, Blair McMillen, Kathleen Supové and Anthony de Mare.
