Great show by improv/avant-garde jazz trio BB&C last Saturday. BB&C are Tim Berne (alto), Jim Black (drums) and Nels Cline, three NY musicians who've played and recorded with everybody I listen to! Coincidentally, I had a jam earlier with the exact same line-up (s, d, g) so the show was a good reminder of ways I can improve in that sort of playing context. Very inspirational!
Playing with percussionist/drummer Pedro Alçada in a duet on the 15th of June (7pm start). We'll be playing in a small bar in Lisbon called "A Vizinha". They've had improv/experimental duets there every Saturday for over a year. If you're a musician visiting Lisbon, and into this kind of stuff, I'd heartily recommend you get in touch and try to get a slot. Tuesdays are improvisation nights at Arch1 and I'm playing there with Improvisi on the 3rd of June. Official 'poster' coming soon! Amazing event yesterday - 11 bands for an all-dayer full of noise, free improv and experimental music. We (Improvisi) had a blast both as musicians and fans of this kind of music. Would play/attend again, ++++.
