Hi folks,

I'll be doing video improvisations at the Zeitgeist Gallery in Cambridge, 
with
-BIRDSONGS OF THE MESOZOIC
-DAVID GROSS & BRENDAN MURRAY: "CADDYSHACK"

Its always a pleasure to work with Birdsongs, and I'm looking forward 
to working with Dave and Brendan. Hope some of you can make it

Birdsongs will preview brand new material from our forthcoming
Cuneiform release "The Iridium Controversy", due out in 2003, plus
music from our 20-year repertoire.  This is our first Cambridge
gig in quite some time.

"Birdsongs is distinguished by a sound that's at once avant-garde
and organic, contemporary-sounding and primal-feeling...their reach
is vast."
(The Boston Globe)

"The band captures one's imagination with memorable melodies,
crunching ensemble work and truly spirited interplay as the
strong writing often spawns wonderment."
(All About Jazz)

"Twenty years after forming, this group is still on the cutting
edge...Birdsongs melds layers of sound best described as the
soundtrack to a primordial epic."
(Boston Magazine)

"A Boston band that compresses Stravinsky, Steve Reich, and Question 
Mark and the Mysterians into keyboard driven stomps."
- Jon Pareles
The New York Times


DAVID GROSS & BRENDAN MURRAY:
"CADDYSHACK"

Labeled as "One of Boston's steadfast explorers," by Bob Blumenthal 
of the Boston Globe, saxophonist and clarinetist David Gross 
discovered the world of improvised music while studting with Yusef 
Lateef at Hampshire College. He has performed with Le Quan Ninh, 
Eddie Prevost, Steve Roden, Gino Robair, Martin Tetreault, Kaffe 
Matthews, Glenn Spearman, Raphe Malik and many members of the Boston 
free-improv scene including Bhob Rainey, Greg Kelley, and Laurence 
Cook. Currently, Gross is transforming the saxophone into exactly 
what it is: a metal tube with keys, mouthpiece, and a reed. Reviews 
of his recordings, on his own Tautology label with ensembles EED and 
FETISH, have been as varied as "The range of textured noise that he 
cajoles from his instrument is impressive" to "lengthy episodes of 
fingernails ripping at a blackboard". He has performed throughout the 
US including at festivals as diverse as The KNOB (Witchita, KS), Big 
Sur Festival of Experimental Music (CA), High Zero (Baltimore, MD), 
Improvised and Otherwise (NYC) and Autumn Uprising (MA) which he 
created in 1997.

world. There were millions of people, the strange reflective bars of 
the buildings and the shiny and shimmering towers that seemed like a 
fairy tale"   -- David-Michael Cook
