Upcoming at the Bohemian National Home

From the Bohemian National Home:

Wednesday, April 25th: The Thing
Some of northern Europe’s finest improvisers. Free jazz, energy-music and covers of Lightning Bolt and The White Stripes! Gustafsson is one of Sweden’s primary musical exports, playing with great musicians like Joe McPhee (an occasional member of The Thing), Ken Vandermark, Derek Bailey and Hamid Drake. Some people say he has replaced Brotzmann as the most powerful saxophonist in Free Music. Flaten and Nilsen-Love are Norway’s heaviest rhythm section and the choice of any improviser who hits the country.
Mats Gustafsson (Sweden):REEDS
Ingebrigt H. Flaten (Norway): BASS
Paal Nilsen-Love (Norway): DRUMS

Saturday, April 28th: CD release for Frank Pahl’s “Songs of War and Peace”
Some of you may know the side of composer/inventor Frank Pahl that has a weak spot for protest songs from a few of his recent, frenetic acoustic performances. His new CD “Songs of War and Peace” features some of this material, but in settings that bear a closer resemblance to the pretty and challenging music he’s best known for. With a couple great send-ups of patriotic songs opening and closing the record, you’ll be all set for this year’s Fourth of July. Coincidentally, the show falls on National Impeachment Day. What could be more perfect? Doors at 9 pm; $5-10.
