Lindsey Walker - Trauma Diaries No. 1
Formal music training is fraught with scarring, if you're lucky. For instance, my second of four piano teachers, Cathy Carr Watson, berated me for potentially scratching her piano bench with the buckle of my sandal and in the process demoralized my desire to practise her assignments. Of course at home, Mom and Dad said, "Time to practise," so I sat at the piano and improvised without knowing what it was I was doing. I was ten years old. This is what I did.

8:30 pm
Phillip Greenlief - alto saxophone
Lindsay Reich - dance

Greenlief & Reich have participating in the Headlands Center for the Arts Summer 2013 Residency program - on this occasion, they will be performing CHICAGO, a new composition from Greenlief's map series.

Saxophonist/Lyricon master Jorrit Dijkstra returns to the Bay Area for an extended visit, and we get to hear the awesome sonic results. In this particular outing he'll be joined by Scott R. Looney on piano/prepared piano, and the wonderful Kjell Nordeson on drums/percussion, who is also visiting us for a brief time this summer before returning to San Diego. This will be the second time the group has played together. Be sure to check it out!
