This time, like the other time with Reut Regev on Trombones and other stuff and Igal Foni on drums and other stuff. However, this concert may also include additional monstrous musicians, to be announced. If you missed our concert last summer - don't make the same mistake again. We nice. Why not?

6/7 Thursday
8PM
The Jacob Garchik Trio
Jacob Garchik (trombone, compositions) Jacob Sacks (piano) Dan Weiss (drums)
Elegant compositions for a bass-less ensemble with plenty of space to explore creative imaginations.

10PM
Water Surgeons (Josh Roseman)
Josh Roseman (trombone, bass, electronics) Curtis "CURHA" Hasselbring (trombone, guitar, FX) Jacob Garchik (trombone, accordion, possibly tuba) Tyshawn Sorey (trombone, percussion) with guest Barney McAll (sheep dip, samples, televisions, music boxes, stuff parakeet)
The WATER SURGEONS won Dublin Harbor's Lobstar Cage "synchronized brass" awared in 1987.
This "elite quartet" generates a lurid, expansive chromatic canvas. Roseman, Garchik, Hasselbring and Sorey demonstrate a healthy lack of regard for much of nothing, be it diatonic or trombonist.
Sadly, they seem to prefer to strap things on, inclusive of accordions, cheap guitar and a drumset, resulting in a sentimental morass of the harmolodic variety.
Hoping the SURGEONS present their extemporal acoustic "A" material for their debut at the STONE! And leave that weird loud dubby stuff in Brooklyn.
with "Guest Surgeon," Barney "Scratch" Mcall on found devices and ambience.
