Jaroba/Kevin Corcoran Duo & Medium Sized Band

8 pm
Jaroba - reeds
Kevin Corcoran - percussion

A duo pursuing sounds which could reference various histories of adventurous music but also the sounds of objects and energies in everyday environments. Beginning between Davis and Sacramento, Jaroba and Kevin played music in an apartment. They both moved to San Francisco and now play music in a garage and occasionally for other ears in various public settings. They play improvised music on instruments to blow and spit into and instruments to hit and scrape percussion, invented horns, soprano saxophone and bass clarinet

...with very special guest Rent Romus - Alto/Soprano Saxophones, small instruments, objects

Formed in 2012, the Oakland-based Medium-Sized Band has dedicated itself to the exploration of novel formal structures and directed improvisations. Acting as a composer's collective in which each member contributes pieces to the pool, the MSB draws on a diverse set of techniques aiming towards group communication and conduits for creative energy. Each individual member's unique background contributes to an eclecticism and freedom of movement between different sonorities and musical perspectives."
