Eli Wallace with Jared Talaga
Agape Trio + Zekkereya
Doors 7:30 pmEli Wallace is a pianist, improviser and composer who resides in Brooklyn, leading his own projects, collaborating with other like-minded artists and co-curating the interdisciplinary performance series Invocation with Drew Wesely. His work as a pianist displays his experience in classical, jazz, free improvisation studies, and extensive piano preparation, while his compositions employ notational strategies to broaden the manner in which sounds are created and the ways in which musicians interact. Over the past decade he has appeared on dozens of albums and has performed at such esteemed venues as The Stone in New York, Experimental Sound Studio in Chicago and the Outsound New Music Summit in San Francisco. For this performance, Wallace will be joined by electronic artist and local house-show host Jared Talaga.
The many projects and recent tours of Agape Trio’s members has meant that 2023 hasn’t featured many performances by this aggregate, comprised of baritone sax great Alex Harding, double-bassist Joel Peterson and percussionist Dave Hurley. This special performance features them with guest trombonist Zekkereya, for the first time ever!

There is more than one way to access the infinite.” (Daniel Spicer, The Wire) Thollem is “a modern griot who has absorbed sounds from every place he has visited.” (William Parker, Conversations II, Rogue Art) He is “an intense and virtuosic keyboardist.” (Time Out, New York) whose works are “drenched in many musical traditions, an original brew.” (Dolf Mulder, Vital Weekly)Thollem has released well over thirty electric albums playing a wide array of rigs, both solo and in collaboration with many different musicians, on Astral Spirits Records, Relative Pitch, Setola di Maiale, Personal Archives, ESP-Disk, Aural Films, New Atlantic Records and Union Pole Tapes. Currently he’s working with live manipulation of samples from a variety of pianos along his travels, as well as from his upcoming album “The Light Is Real” with Terry Riley and Nels Cline on Other Minds Records.
