Upcoming Performances & Broadcasts:
9:00 pm Saturday, May 4 Misha Feigin at The Candlestick Maker, 4432 N. Kedzie Avenue, Chicago
- A special concert performance by renowned Russian-born guitarist Misha Feigin, performing solo and trio with special guests Carol Genetti and Eric Leonardson, two of Chicago's own exceptionally original experimental improvising sound artists.
Leaving behind an established position in the Moscow arts scene in 1990, Misha Feigin made his home Louisville, Kentucky, where he quickly reestablished himself in the folk and improvised music scenes, both nationally and internationally. His work can be heard on numerous records that feature him with such well-known artists as Elliot Sharp, Eugene Chadbourne, Ami Denio, LaDonna Smith, Davey Williams, and Peter Kowald, to name a few.
Reuniting after three years in the intimate confines of THE CANDLESTICK MAKER —Michael Zerang's new venue for jazz and experimental music—this concert promises to be a wonderfully strange and dynamic event.

8:00 pm Sunday, May 5...with Tatsuya Nakatani, percussionist from NYC, and Kyle Bruckman on double reeds
- ...at Crac House, 1626 S. Newberry (one block west of Halsted), Chicago.
"Tatsuya Nakatani is a methodical musician concerned with the development of an idea in time. His beginnings are arresting; his endings are satisfying. The right duration and variety of events are fully charged with a visceral intensity that can captivate a true listener. There is a sense of control,strength, and endurance as ideas are developed and sustained into rapid motion, rolls, and varied sounds from bells, gongs, and singing bowed cymbals. At times the drum set is reduced to just a few sounds like a single bounce of a stick floating before it falls. All this hits me like a vibrating temple of metal - a sense of vastness in a small room, and the variety of sounds Mr. Nakatani derives from the cymbals is suprising. The music is clear in its execution and sensitivity to the room. This CD merits close listening. It will purify any space." -- Eric Zinman, on Green Report 9 (recorded at Studio 234 in Cambridge, Mass, 12-April-2001)
