Three Views of a Trio:

Description

A special event featuring three unique takes on the most classic instrumentation in modern music; the trio. The Wee Trio celebrates the release of their new album, "Ashes to Ashes: A David Bowie Intrapsective." Don't miss this group that's being hailed as "the future of modern jazz." New York's beloved saxophonist Joel Frahm, briefly back from the road, leads his own magical trio in preview of an upcoming live album. On the heels of their debut release "The One Constant" (Songlines), the genre-defying Danny Fox Trio closes the show out with eclectic original music that pushes the boundaries of a jazz piano trio.

Description

A new collaboration from iconoclastic guitarist Frisell and "slightly cracked folksinger extraordinare" (Village Voice) Amidon, two artists who have created their own musical worlds from various corners of American folk musics.

Bill Frisell:
"It's hard to find a more fruitful meditation on American music than in the compositions of guitarist Bill Frisell." - The New York Times

"Frisell is a revered figure among musicians - like Miles Davis and few others, his signature is built from pure sound and inflection; an anti-technique that is instantly identifiable." - The Philadelphia Inquirer


Sam Amidon:
"Amidon has one of the most inviting voices around today...In bridging the very old and the very new on a handful of albums and collaborations, he has managed to meld the rural and the urban, the organic and the synthetic, the oral tradition and the written score." -Pitchfork

"In an era of overheated Nick Drake comparisons, Amidon is eerily close to the real thing." -Rolling Stone


$25 student ticket available at the door
