      NEW YORK CITY, New York:

      HEADFONE FOLLIES - live in NYC!

      After three successful nights at HERE in January, we're now making the FOLLIES a Saturday night series running every Saturday in February and the first two Saturdays in March, all at 10:30pm, at HERE, 6th Avenue between Spring and Broome, New York City. Note also that HERE has a very nice cafe (recently under its own management), and the show is little over an hour, so it's not really like a 10:30 show. It's like a 9:30 tea/coffee plus a show. Information is at http://www.here.org.

      EAGLE ROCK, California:

      Open Gate Theatre presents JACK WRIGHT & BOB MARSH

      On Sunday, March 4th at 7:00pm, the first in the spring series of Sunday evening concerts will take place at the Eagle Rock Community Cultural Center, 2225 Colorado Blvd. (just west of Eagle Rock Blvd.) in Eagle Rock. Admission is $10. Free parking is plentiful. Further information can be obtained by calling 626.795.4989.

      Jack Wright is an improvisor in the truest sense. His instruments are the tenor, alto, and soprano saxophones and contralto clarinet. Presently residing in Boulder, Colorado, he is an uncompromising artist who has been called the "Johnny Appleseed" of free improvisation due to his penchant for constantly traveling around the country to join forces with any number of sonic collaborators. Joining him for this performance is Bob Marsh, a multi-instrumentalist, instrument inventor, and sound investigator who hails from the San Francisco Bay Area and also holds advanced degrees in sculpture and humanistic clinical psychology.

      Open Gate Theatre, twenty-year-old locally-based music-dance-theatre ensemble and host of the monthly concerts, will open the evening with a mostly musical rather than multidisciplinary performance featuring the group's founder and director, flautist-vocalist-dancer Will Salmon, together with the virtuosic newcomer Chris Lancaster on cello and longtime collaborator percussionist Alex Cline in a set of eclectic, sonically delicate and intense chamber improvisations.

      Sonny Smith presents: THE NOE VALLEY MINISTRY

      The Court and Spark waltzed onto the San Francisco music scene in 1998 like a funeral band scoring the trajectory of Halley's Comet. Comprised of M.C. Taylor, Scott Hirsch, James Kim, Joe Rogers, Tom Heyman, and Wendy Allen, the band has been filling ballrooms and dancehalls across America for some time now with their singular blend of drunken crash-and-burn country honk and harmonic moonmusik, hushed morphine shuffles equal parts joy and sorrow. Extensive touring, legendary live sets, and the release of their debut record Ventura Whites on San Francisco's Tumult Records and Germany's Glitterhouse Records garnered the group unanimous praise from the SF Weekly and Guardian, Time Magazine, Spin Magazine, and the UK's Rolling Stone, among others. They are currently at work on their as-yet-untitled second. record.

      Four albums in, Willard Grant Conspiracy--named after a couple streets in their native Boston--are becoming special. While neither alternative nor country, they have been corralled into the alternative country ghetto but they are a more complex beast then the genre standard bearers. Richly baritoned singer Robert Fisher, part Johnny Cash part Tinderstick's Stuart Staples (particularly on the lachrymose closer Massachusetts), pitches his New England mini tragedies with a swamp blues edge against a tumbleweed backdrop. In more butterfingered hands, the results could be a sloppy mess but guitarist Paul Astin disciplines these 11 tracks into a cohesive whole. It's a nether world where love happens by accident, as in the oppositely titled Beautiful Song, or not at all, as in Drunkard's Prayer (I'll lift the glass as it lifts me), narrated by a character of unmitigated Leonard Cohen-esque sadness. --The Guardian U.K. September 2000

      ABOUT MISHA MENGELBERG:

      Born in 1935 pianist Misha Mengelberg is a godfather of the new jazz and improvised music scene in Holland, having played with almost every musician of note in improvised music: Anthony Braxton, Derek Bailey, Evan Parker, Peter Brotzmann and many many more. In 1964 Mengelberg made his first recording with Eric Dolphy, the live recording "Last Date" with drummer Han Bennink, with whom he has had a long-standing duo. With Bennink and reed-player Willem Breuker he founded the Instant Composers Pool (ICP), a landmark consortium in the Dutch improvised music scene. Recently, he is working with the ICP orchestra, a 10-piece ensemble that emphasizes improvisation and plays his music as well as the music of Herbie Nichols, Thelonius Monk and Duke Ellington. He is also touring in a trio with drummer Joey Baron and bassist Greg Cohen, the rhythm section of John Zorn's group Masada. His solo piano performance in Los Angeles is part of a short tour in the US.
