Angling more toward the free and droney rather than the polished
acts (and instruments) currently gracing the stages of the JVC fest,
this mini-assemblage speaks to a more modulated audience of
electronic eclectics, free jazz freaks, and no-fi gearheads. On the
roof, Sapat and the SB make free with the noise and build complex
sound fields, while Matthew Shipp and Guillermo Brown, Triptych Myth minus one, Matt Mikas and Daniel Carter, N.R.A., Mogami, and many others
perform indoors. The gadget of honor is Paul Davies "Jazz-Shifter,"
two modified tractor gear shifts that allow users to cut up and
recontextualize jazz history by rewiring Brubeck to Davis to Parker
to Coltrane. (JKG)
What, do
you think, is it essential that free jazz free itself from? Our favorite two answers each
win a pair of tickets to this show, along with a pair of CDs.
