Greetings, friends! It has been quite a while, but I am thrilled to announce the next installment of the Opening Ears Concert Series! The Opening Ears Concert Series is dedicated to creating opportunities for the artists of the Bay Area’s vibrant creative music scene to present their work to folks who may or may not be aware that this kind of expression exists!
Please join us at 1026 Pleasant Oaks Dr. 94523
Saturday, September 26 at 4pm (doors open) music at 5 pm for a truly stacked show! First set will be the return of the great
Jordan Glenn (solo percussion) followed by a set from Trio Z, and concluded by a free for all quintet which will include me on trumpet.
As always I will serve food and drinks and collect at the door for the visiting musicians ($20 suggested donation, no one turned away for lack of funds).
Jordan Glenn is a drummer, percussionist, improviser and composer who spent his formative years in Oregon drawing cartoons, taking dance classes from his aunt, and putting on plays with his sisters. His solo work distills what he values most... spontaneity, space, texture and groove. A document of this work can be heard on his first solo recording "Flustered", released in 2022 on Full Spectrum Records.

TRIO Z, the Berkeley-based experimental string trio of bassist Gianna (Zakhary) Caudillo and cellists Ali Ziyad and Julius Zimmerman, is an unbridled conglomeration of its members’ musical backgrounds, ranging from Baroque counterpoint to free jazz. Equal parts Igor Stravinsky and Ornette Coleman, Trio Z’s frenetic spontaneous composition turns a chamber string trio upside down and backwards, inside-out and outside-in. Described as "transgressive," "poignant," and "thoughtful," the band sets out to swing, even when caught in the middle of a wash.
We hope to see you there!
