May 5th (tuesday)
Presented with Plays and Players
Fabrizio Spera - Alberto Braida - Jack Wright
Mike Szekely - Matt Mitchell - Matt Engle
Larry Toft - Dawn Webster - David Fishkin
@ Plays and Players
1714 Delancy Street
8pm; $10
Much of the jazz tradition is built on well defined instrumental roles
- bass and drum in the rhythm section, horns playing melodic solos and
harmonic supporting material. But just as quickly as these norms were
established, musicians have been breaking these boundaries to redefine
the own sonic territory. This evening, three trios of jazz-capable
musicians suspend these questions for another day.
Italians musicians Fabrizio Spera (percussion) and Alberto Braida
(piano) will be joined by American saxophonist Jack Wright. Forged
through a globe trotting story becoming more common in improvised
music, the trio came together after Spera, who had met Wright at the
Irtijal Festival in Beirut Lebanon, suggested that a regular partner
of his, pianist Braida, would be a superb choice for a trio. The group
first came together in the village of Montepulciano, Italy in November
2006 and was followed by an Italian tour. Fabrizio and Alberto have
toured several times in the US, supported by the Italian Institute in
2006 in San Francisco, and in 2008 in New York. Fabrizio has come
several times with his trio Ossatura, most recently in 2007, and also
performed in May 2008 at the Vision Festival in NY. He also toured
with Jack Wright in San Francisco and in trio with Gust Burns in
Seattle and Portland Or in spring 2008.
Opening the evening are two trios made up Philadelphia musicians.
Though drawn from a pull of frequent collaborators, these groupings
constitute new experiments in personnel. Shot x Shot bassists Matt
Engle is joined by percussionist Michael Szekely and pianist Matt
Mitchell. Rounding out the night, West Philadelphia Orchestra
trombonist Larry Toft and trumpeter Dawn Webster will be joined by
baritone saxiphonist David Fishkin.
