Hey everyone,
I hope you’re having a happy and healthy fall. I’m just popping in to let you know that if you’re in Southeast Michigan, I’ll be playing a solo piano set at Edgefest — our local festival of experimental improvised music that’s really so much more than a local festival. Other artists on the festival include heavy hitters like Matthew Shipp, Angelica Sanchez, William Parker, and honestly too many others to name. I’m honored to be on the same stage as them. I’ll be sharing some new music, and I’m really looking forward to hearing some great music too.
I have a special relationship with Edgefest, both as a performer and an audience member. I’ve been lucky enough to share the Edgefest stage with some great artists, including Ken Filiano, William Hooker, and John Lindberg. And as an audience member, I’ve seen more mind-blowing performances than I can count. One that will always stick with me was seeing Muhal Richard Abrams, Roscoe Mitchell, and George Lewis. Some of the most beautiful, startling, and exhilarating music I’ve ever heard in my life.
Note: according to Kerrytown Concert House’s website, proof of vaccination or a recent negative Covid test is required of all patrons and artists, and masks will be required of audience members.
I’m playing on Thursday, October 28 at 7:00pm. Get your tickets for the day or the whole weekend here:
