greg davis interview
a great interview with greg davis from the canadian music website/magazine textura. greg talks about the music and recording processes of six of his albums. a fascinating read.
rip kriya
the show last night at kriya studio was a rousing success- very well attended by an appreciative and attentive audience, i think everyone walked away from kriya for the last time feeling enlightened. i especially liked the piece 'stones' by christian wolff- i'm not sure how much was 'composed' because it sounded and looked like an improvisation to me- maybe greg or toby could help us out with this one...
well, i still have a cold and am feeling run down- i'm going to miss my third show of the week tonight when i dont go see the engines, and i feel like an ass because the sweethearts at tick tick were good enough to put me on the half price list... but life goes on...

tick tick presents
Some Chicago free jazz coming up on Dec 9. It should be excellent! Some members of Vandermark 5, whom Greg booked last winter at the Firehouse, and they were awesome.
Tick Tick Presents:
THE ENGINES
Sunday, December 9th
The Firehouse Gallery
135 Church St, Burlington, VT
Doors at 7:30 pm
First set at 8pm, second set at 9:15
$7 advance tickets, $10 day of.
Call 802.540.0088 or email dale@ticktick.org for will call tickets.
THE ENGINES, one of Chicago's strongest improvising bands, announces a 13-date North American tour for December 2007, to coincide with the release of their self-titled debut on the Okkadisk imprint ( www.okkadisk.com). This collaborative band features four mainstays of the Chicago jazz and improvised music scene, with Jeb Bishop on trombone (Jeb Bishop Trio, Brotzmann Tentet, School Days), Dave Rempis on saxophones (Rempis Percussion Quartet, Triage, Vandermark Five), Nate McBride on bass (FME, Powerhouse Sound, Pandelis Karayorgis Trio), and Tim Daisy on drums (Festival Quartet, Dragons 1976, Vandermark Five).
The Engines started as a trio with a residency at Chicago's Empty Bottle in the summer of 2005. Bishop was added as a regular member after he joined them for one concert in May of 2006, since the dynamic of the group as a quartet worked so well. Since then, they've been working regularly in Chicago at many of the venues associated with creative music including The Hideout, Elastic, The Hungry Brain, and The Velvet Lounge.
All of these musicians have distinguished themselves as both leaders and sidemen, but formed this band as a collaborative meeting of minds and talents. Each member contributes original compositions, producing a wide set of expressive possibilities ranging from high-energy jousting over driving bass vamps to quieter moments of melodic exploration. With McBride on both acoustic and electric bass, the band can explore some of the sonic textures associated with the early AACM, or launch into hard-hitting Zeppelin-like grooves, and they use this range of possibilities to its fullest.
