Please join us on Thursday, October 14, 2004 from 8-10pm at Slought Foundation for a live concert by Felt but Not Heard
with Erik Friedlander, Tim Berne, and Tom Rainey.
Cellist Erik Friedlander, son of street photographer Lee Friedlander, has performed on over 100 CDs including movie scores as well as 7 under his own leadership. Friedlander composed and arranged the score for a the 4-part PBS documentary series called, "The Kingdom of David: Saga of the Isrealites". He has recorded with Laurie Anderson, Dar Williams, John Zorn, Dave Douglas and Fred Hersch. An integral part of NYC's downtown jazz scene, Friedlander recently released "Maldoror", an homage to 19th century poet Isidore Ducasse.
Alto saxophonist Tim Berne moved to New York in 1974, sought Julius Hemphill out, and entered into an apprenticeship with the elder musician. In 1979, Berne began issuing his own albums on his Empire label and over the next five years he would record and distribute five albums under his own name which included such musicians as Ed Schuller, Olu Dara, Paul Motian, John Carter, Nels Cline and Bill Frisell. Following two recordings for the Italian Soul Note label, Berne recorded Fulton Street Maul and Sanctified Dreams for Columbia Records. These recordings coincided with an increasingly active worldwide touring schedule. In 1988, Berne began a long relationship with the JMT label with the first of two recordings with the co-operative Miniature (with Joey Baron and Hank Roberts). Berne's JMT legacy climaxed with the historic Paris Concerts given by his quartet bloodcount, released in three volumes (Lowlife, Poisoned Minds and Memory Select). Berne once again founded his own record label, Screwgun Records, and released a three CD set of live recordings by bloodcount, Unwound. Tim Berne has continued to perform and record with his bands, Big Satan (with Marc Ducret), Paraphrase (with Drew Gress), Science Friction (with Ducret and Craig Taborn) and Hard Cell.
Percussionist Tom Rainey was born in Los Angeles, California in 1957. Since moving to New York City in 1979 he has performed at festivals and clubs throughout North America and Europe with a wide range of artists, including John Abercrombie, Ray Anderson, Tim Berne, Jane Ira Bloom, Ted Curson, Marc Ducret, George Gruntz, Mark Helias, Fred Hersch, Andy Laster, Joe Lovano, Carmen McRae, Mike Nock, Simon Nabatov, New and Used, Matthias Schubert, Tom Varner, WDR Big Band, Ken Werner and Denny Zeitlen. Rainey received an National Endowment for the Arts grant to compose and perform a concert of music for percussion and drums featuring Dave Samuels and Arto Tuncboyaci. Currently he is busy with the Fred Hersch Trio, Tim Berne's ensembles, among others.
