September 22nd, 2013: #85 – Craig Pedersen, solo trumpet and workshop
- Craig Pedersen, solo trumpet, improvisation lecture and workshop.
Three months ago, Craig Pedersen’s creative identity was shattered into a million pieces, and he still hasn’t recovered. Join him as he tries to put it back together by sharing his music and thoughts in what will probably amount to a group therapy session. Bring an instrument, as he may call on participants to join.
October 6th, 2013: #86 – Dialoog
- Yuri Bakker, keys, synth, samples
- Michael Powell, drums, percussion, samples
One Dutch magazine describes Dialoog’s dance-floor as intergalactisch. A smeltkroes of hiphop, electro, funk, jazz, and classic. Not to mention the onbereikbare niveaus van grooveheid. No translation required. Astronauts make love to Dialoog. Shit’s got grooveheid.
The universe was kind to place Yuri & Michael on either side of a townhouse wall, growing up in Rotterdam, NL. Trained at Juilliard and Berklee, respectively, it’s remarkable—while highly unlikely—for two virtuosic artists to be paired so.
