Larry Ochs, Saxophones; Gerald Cleaver, drums; and Tim Perkis, electronics.


Larry Ochs returns to the Bird & Beckett stage, where he's been heard with Rova Sax 4tet and in his duo with drummer Don Robinson.

Tonight, he's invited Gerald Cleaver, drums; and Tim Perkis, electronics.

Close your eyes and open your ears. You're in for a fine ride.

"Ochs' full-bodied tenor is out of the John Coltrane/Albert Ayler 'free' tradition: forceful, passionate... talking-in-tongues."– East Bay Express

"A brilliant drummer/composer as comfortable leveling a straight-ahead ride cymbal groove as fulminating an avant-garde pulse" - Jazz Times

"Perkis' electronics give the proceedings a slightly sinister edge, an alien character completely different from what we are usually used to hear in jazz contexts." - Jazz Times
