Tiberius
Dominique Cramp - electric piano, electronics
Mike Guarino - drums
special guest
Phillip Greenlief, alto & tenor saxophones
TIBERIUS is the long-standing duo of Dominique Cramp and Mike Guarino. Tiberius swerves unpredictably from quiet, near-ambient meditations to densely populated post-free jazz, energy-driven music. Their improvisation style, however, is more informed from the tenets of experimental rock. On this occasion they are joined by
Phillip Greenlief, a veteran free improviser who seems to thrive in any musical situation. Please join us for this rare meeting of what is sure to be a compelling trio of improvisers who share a vast sound palette and vocabulary of technique.
