On Friday February 13 at 8:00pm, Tom's Place presents
New Olduvai Music
(Elliott Levin -- reeds, words
Tom Rollison -- guitar
Fred Lonberg-Holm -- cello
Jordan Glenn -- drums)
and
Tim Duff -- solo string bass
New Olduvai Music is a long-running project (originating in the 1970s) of Philadelphia reedman and Cecil Taylor collaborator Elliott Levin and an evolving list of of partners, promising spontaneous compositions merging extended techniques, electronics, and poetry. At this show Levin and his long-time collaborator Tom Follison (guitar) will be joined by Bay Area improv stalwarts Fred Lomberg-Holm (cello) and
Jordan Glenn (drums).
Tim Duff is a songwriter, bass player and pianist whose interests run from energy music to Tin Pan Alley. He is particularly known (by me at least) for his solo bass+narration performances of avant-standards like Joelle Leandre's "Taxi" and Tom Johnson's "Failing, a Very Difficult Piece for Solo String Bass". I think he's working on something new for this evening's performance.
