Los Angeles premiere | Produced by SASSASFans of improvised music are in for a special treat as New York avant-garde stalwarts Ikue Mori (laptop) and Zeena Parkins (electric harp) team up with legendary guitarist Fred Frith for a first-ever joint appearance in Los Angeles. The longtime collaborators are international icons of contemporary improvisation, regularly performing with artists from John Zorn to Ensemble Modern. The second night of this program is devoted to a rare screening of Werner Penzel and Nicholas Humbert’s Step Across the Border, an award-winning documentary on Frith’s music. This “celluloid improvisation†features performances by Frith and appearances by Zorn, Arto Lindsay and the late Tom Cora, among other luminaries of the international avant-garde.
