Please join us on Thursday, June 17, 2004 from 8-10pm at Slought Foundation for a live concert with the Claudia Quintet and the Jorrit Dijkstra/John Hollenbeck Duo.
The Claudia Quintet’s newest release, 'I, Claudia' (Cuneiform Records) demonstrates that "innovative jazz does not have to be harsh, angry, loud, shrill or grating; it can be delicate, witty, ethereal and radiantly lyric” [Chicago Tribune]. Their music is highly seductive, ripe with compelling, propulsive grooves, dynamic sensitivity and telepathic improvisation. Aside from the Claudia Quintet, leader/composer/drummer John Hollenbeck is best known for his work with Theo Bleckmann, Fred Hersch, and Meredith Monk. He is joined by some of the finest downtown players including bassist Drew Gress (Fred Hersch, Tim Berne, Uri Caine), clarinetist Chris Speed (Pachora, Yeah No, AlasNoAxis), accordion player Ted Reichman (Marc Ribot, Sue Garner, Anthony Braxton) and vibraphonist Matt Moran (Joe Maneri, Butch Morris).
Dutch saxophonist and composer Jorrit Dijkstra (b.1966) has been an active member of Amsterdam’s vivid jazz and improvisation scene since 1985, before moving to Boston early 2002. In concert, Dijkstra uses electronics such as loop and delay machines, a pitch shifter and an analog modular synthesizer to process his saxophone sounds in real time. He will be performing in duo with John Hollenbeck.
