Robert Kuhlman was-Born in Nebraska in 1954 and headed West to see the ocean. He inadvertently saw the Beatles on the original Jack Parr show late one night when he woke up to get some water. It was the Black and White film clip from the original Cavern Club in Liverpool. That was it. What ever those guys had goin’ on was what Robert started to pursue. After landing a scholarship to College, Kuhlmann moved to the East Bay to attend what was then called California College of Arts and Crafts. It was here that Kuhlmann was introduced to Ornette Coleman. This was a pivotal meeting. Robert pursued the “Free Jazz” genre and practiced and learned theory and jazz harmony.

Moxie will be performing part three of
Bill Noertker's Tricycle, a musical travel diary recounting his recent journeys in the UK and Mexico. Part three reflects on the circular nature of time as seen through the prism of his repeated encounters with the work of Leonora Carrington in London, Mexico City, and San Francisco.
