Please join us for this celebratory improvisational music concert in memory of David Wessel. David loved to improvise and to host concerts by his favorite improvisers at CNMAT. We will listen to some great spontaneous music, drink wine and eat cheese, just as David loved to do.
One of David’s favorite musician-collaborators, Joelle Leandre, bassist and composer from Paris, will be our special guest. Other performers include collaborators of David’s and members of his community at UC Berkeley:
Ken Ueno,
Myra Melford, Matthew Goodheart, Jason Levis and
Lisa Mezzacappa.
