Grammy winner Henry Kaiser is widely recognized as one of the most creative and innovative guitarists and producers in the fields of rock, jazz, world, and contemporary experimental musics. He has appeared on more than 250 different albums and contributed to countless television and film soundtracks.

For Scott Amendola, the drum kit isn't so much an instrument as a musical portal. An ambitious composer, savvy bandleader and capaciously creative foil for some of the world's most inventive musicians, Amendola applies his rhythmic virtuosity to a vast array of settings.

Domene normally plays a seven-string guitar. I'm not sure how many strings Henry will bring, but I'm pretty sure Scott doesn't use them.

This is the first of three Tom's Place concerts in the month of February. The others are:

Tuesday February 19
Ken Field (winds)
with Eric Glick Riemann (prepared Rhodes)
and Karen Stackpole (gongs)

Monday February 25
Matt Ingalls (solo clarinet)
Sandy Ewen (guitar) and Phillip Greenlief (sax)
