First Set - 8:00
Jon Raskin Trio
Vijay Anderson - drums
Matthew Goodheart - piano
Jon Raskin - saxophones
The trio will be performing "structured chaos" and "knowing the unknowable". These long time musical alchemists will descend into the musical memes of their past and burnish the fossils and jewels of inspiration. They will endeavor to "lift the bandstand".
Second Set - 9:00
Thollem McDonas - piano
Karen Stackpole - gongs and percussion
Bruce Ackley - soprano and tenor saxes, Bb clarinet
Gongwoman is our local maestro of the vibration, Ackley a founding member of Rova, and Thollem our vagabonding hero keyboardist. The trio's first concert together at Berkeley Arts last year was exciting and mysterious. Mutual affinities have drawn us together for another performance-which is sure to delight and surprise listeners.
8pm to 10:30pm, Berkeley Arts 2133 University Avenue, between Shattuck & Oxford
