west oakland sound series
SUNDAY AUGUST 16 2026 7:15p
Oakland musicians NATHAN CLEVENGER, JORDAN GLENN, and CORY WRIGHT share a long and entwined history of collaboration across various projects, including Wiener Kids, Ashen Cleric, and Fellow Hominids. Formed in 2021, the trio has released 3 albums and initiated a series of collaborations with guests artists, including Kasey Knudsen, Crystal Pascucci, Phillip Greenlief, Marié Abe, and Safa Shokrai. Working from, between, and against Clevenger’s compositional frames and utilizing the multi-instrumental flexibility of each player, the trio (and guests) weaves between non-idiomatic improvisation and often gnomic composed material, with focus on spaciousness and timbral detail. For tonight’s performance, the trio is joined by vocalist DANISHTA RIVERO and trumpeter ARI BROWN. FORNAX LINTEUM is a free improv trio consisting of ANDREW JORON (theremin), JOSEPH DEE BRADSHAW (guitar), and JANEL WAGNER (voice). Andrew Joron is a theremin player who has performed in a variety of experimental and jazz ensembles, including the duo Fornax Linteum, the free-improv quartet Ouroborous, and Evidence Trio. Joseph Dee Bradshaw is a guitarist and improviser based in Oakland. Janel Wagner is a classically trained vocalist and a multi-instrumentalist rooted in jazz and folk traditions. |
