In the spirit of Bay Area artistic experimentation and exploration, THE LEFT COAST IMPROV GROUP (TLCIG) has crystalized from divergent musical and geographical backgrounds to form a unit of unprecedented talent. It's members are products of deep dedication, long study (both in and outside of academia), and many years of performance experience. The emphasis of the group's approach is on relaxation, freedom, and listening, rather than individual virtuosity which, nevertheless, underlies the ensemble as an unfailing support for its cohesive expressiveness.

Cancelled Set

9:00pm from L.A.! SUCH SIMPLE EARS
Brian Christopherson-drums, percussion
Dan Clucas-trumpet, cornet, flugelhorn, flute, misc.
Brian and Dan, who also play together with guitarist Jeremy Keller in the Dead Air Trio, have been playing as a duo since 1996. Their improvisations, while ranging from the sparsest textures to wild onslaughts, are grounded by mutual respect and an insistence on true dialogue at every step of the way.
