Sonoma State University
Holly Martins performance/workshop at Sonoma State -
1pm - 3:30pm
1701 E Cotati Ave.
Rohnert Park California 94928
US
The Holly Martins (Kasey Knudsen- alto sax, Eric Vogler- guitar, Lorin Benedict- scatting) do a performance/workshop at the Sonoma State University Music Department for the students in their Jazz program. I'm really looking forward to this for at least two reasons: 1) I'm starting to really LOVE the north bay, and 2) Kasey recently started teaching there in an adjunct capacity, so it'll be fun to see the environment where she's now spending a not insignificant fraction of her time.

Rob Ewing's abode
Improvised Duets -
8pm
TBA
Berkeley California 94105
USA
Yet another installment of keyboardist Michael Coleman's Improvised Duets, in which he picks (in impromptu fashion) pairs of musicians to play with one another. These evenings typically involve a collection of the Bay Area's best improvisors. Not sure who he'll be getting for this one yet- save myself, Michael, and most probably Rob Ewing (since it will be at Rob's home).

The Holly Martins (Eric Vogler- guitar, Kasey Knudsen- alto sax, me- scatting) play the series, "Willamette Underground: Jazz and Improvisational Music- The Art of the Trio", which is a year-long venture into the area of trios, also to include (spread out through their academic year) other visiting performers such as Paris' Kandinsky Effect, LA's Matt Mayhall Trio, etc. The whole thing has been set up by Willamette University's main improvising cat up there, one James Miley.
