Another week, another show! Wow were did the weekend go? I did make it to see Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, not as surreal or distorted as I hoped, the pictures in my head were far more exciting, and bright. I did like Marvin The Paranoid Android, I would have liked more of him, he reminded me of a MAC albeit a Sad Mac. Anyway onto the show and also the Shins are Tuesday and VNV Nation in a week, and NIN!(I got tickets) and the Black Keys and Clientile(sp) and Spoon and so much more..

Gianni Gebbia, from Palermo, Sicily, is one of the most active saxophonists on the European experimental jazz and free improv scene. . http://giannigebbia.com
Massimo Pupillo is from Rome and plays electric bass in the well-known Italian group Zu, who, with their mixture of tightly-arranged, jazz-influenced hardcore and free-improv mayhem, have become extremely popular on the European club and festival circuit. http://zuism.com
Lukas Ligeti was born in Vienna, Austria, studied composition there, then worked for two years at the computer music institute at Stanford University, and has lived in NYC since 1998. His musical interests
include new forms of ensemble interplay, polymetric structures, alternative tunings, the use of computer technology, and the adaptation of approaches from traditional musics, especially from Africa, where he has worked with musicians in six different countries (the best known project being Beta Foly, based in the Ivory Coast). He has composed music for the Ensemble Modern, the Kronos Quartet, the Vienna Festwochen, etc., and a CD of his chamber music was recently released on Tzadik. As an improvisor, he has played with Henry Kaiser, Raoul Björkenheim, Daniel Carter, John Oswald, Elliott Sharp, Chris Cutler, John Tchicai, Robert Dick, Ned Rothenberg,
etc., and with members of groups ranging from the Grateful Dead to Deutsch-Amerikanische Freundschaft to Tosca. http://lukasligeti.com
“Highly focused improv…a grand effort. Spiraling alto sax with
swirling
and interlocking electric bass and drums.”
– Bruce Gallanter, Downtown Music Gallery
“Ligeti is a profound, forceful thinker and his playing has lit up a
clutch
of important recordings over the past few years…Here he dominates the
sound, his locomotive rhythms combining with Pupillo’s uptight electric
bass to cast brawny shadows not seen on New York walls since the early
80s
gave angular avant funk 15 minutes in the sunshine.”
– David Keenan, The Wire (UK)
“Cazzo che disco.” (“Fuck, what an album!”)
– inkoma.com (Italy)
Gebbia-Pupillo-Ligeti will also be performing on May 3 at the Flicker
