In November of 1998, the trio of Carla Kihlstedt (violin),
Gino Robair (percussion/piano) & Matthew Sperry (contrabass)
recorded a session for Sonarchy Radio in Seattle. Coming up on
a decade later, you now have the chance to listen to this
incredible session - sounding as if it could have been
recorded yesterday or forty years ago, existing on a plane of
living music as it does.
BIO:
There isnt enough space here to chronicle the incredible
music that these three are responsible for. Playing in groups
as diverse as Tin Hat Trio, 2 Foot Yard, Sleepytime Gorilla
Museum and more while somehow finding time for solo pursuits,
Carla Kihlstedt has to be rated as one of the most inventive
violin players currently performing.
In the world of improvised music, it might be easier to come
up with a list of major players that Gino Robair hasnt yet
performed with than those that he has, although his work with
John Butcher and Gianni Gebbia may be among his most fruitful
in this area. He is also a member of The Splatter Trio and has
performed with some pretty big names in the music world and
has written an opera about Emperor Norton titled I, Norton.
Matthew Sperry is a sorely missed forced in the world of
creative music. As stylistically diverse and skilled as his
cohorts on this date, Matthew brought an intense energy and
intelligence to his bass playing that would be the envy of
someone twice his age. The music presented here is dedicated
to his memory.
Sonarchy presents these players in top form operating in an
improvised context. The interplay here is incredible the
musicians shared a great empathy on this date, this is
everything you hope for in an improvised musical experience.
