Sun 5/03 5:00 PM Spruce Street Concerts [send email to harry@fullplatemedia.com]
Ben Goldberg (clarinet) and Scott Amendola (percussion) share an improvisational language and musical intimacy borne of a years-long collaboration. Artistically, they are as attuned to each other as two humans can be. In this stripped-down format of clarinet & drums, the absence of harmonic instruments sharpens the focus: melody and rhythm carry the full weight, and the space between them becomes part of the music. Goldberg can suggest entire harmonic worlds with a single line, while Amendola shapes the music’s direction through color, touch, and subtle shifts in pulse. The result is a conversation that is at once playful and precise—music that unfolds in real time, attentive to detail but never fixed. The intimacy of a living room is the perfect venue to watch this musical conversation between two masters of improvisation.  More...

There exist unknowable things that you can't know because they are so numerous they constitute a whole set, the null set, the abyss, and it has your name all over it. Time to get started somewhere, you aren't alone in fact the number of minds who cannot know exceede even the number of unknown things and when they overlap... well the duo of Isabelle Waldner Kalb & Conner Tomaka will take it from there.
