VORTEX series for new & improvised music presents:
Little Mystery
+
Skinny Vinny
Josh Jefferson - sax / Andrew Eisenberg - percussion.
LITTLE MYSTERY improvises music by drawing upon a vast array of jazz and experimental influences to create a free, spacious and frequently ethereal soundscape. This music is created in part by drawing upon a somewhat unusual line-up of instruments to create music that is both visually and sonically evocative.
:
Eric Dahlman - trumpet
Dahlman has performed with the late great free jazz icon Hal Russell and his NRG Ensemble, The Aardvark Jazz Orchestra, The Travis Chandler Philharmonic, Auddity, The Calypso Invaders, and others. Dahlman’s newest CD “Ripped Echo” has met with rave reviews in many journals and features members of Auddity, John Voigt, Eric Royer, members of the Aardvark Jazz Orchestra, Devil Music and others.
Michael Knoblach - Hat box drum set, percussion
A musician, artist, writer, antique dealer, Knoblach has played with Auddity, Yani Batteau, Reg Bloor (Glenn Branca Band), Boston Rock Opera, Brian Viglione (Dresden Dolls), The Calypso Invaders and Cul de Sac among others.
Blair Raker - trombone
Also plays with the USAF Band of Liberty at Hanscomb Field, Massachusetts. He had played for a number of years with the Brian Setzer Orchestra, The Disneyland Band, Blast!, and was a busy freelance trombonist for several years in the Los Angeles area.
Jim Warshauer (aka Krivati) - Contra Alto Clarinet, other reed instruments
Jim has been playing saxophone since 1967 and has branched into contra alto clarinet more recently. He has played in a variety of settings in the San Francisco Bay area for over 25 years before coming to Boston for a Y2K gig and then staying there.
SKINNY VINNY
Inspired by speed chess, fast art, and all things Duchamp, Josh Jefferson and Andrew Eisenberg work together to define, refine and otherwise extend their understanding of music. Andrew Eisenberg plays percussion on an assortment of modified drum parts that he has reduced and eroded through a process of playing and breaking them. Josh Jefferson plays alto sax and bass clarinet and focuses on pushing the boundaries of his instruments with extended technique and abstract sounds...

Cello Alley presents:
Josiah Altschuler - “Murder Ballads & Love Songs for Cello & Voice” (www.TheBusKing.com)
Equally at home performing in front of a crowded club, or on the concert stages of prestigious classical music halls across the United States and abroad, Josiah Altschuler’s music summons a raw, primal energy, fused with a sophisticated, virtuoso technique. Although rooted in American Primitive music, he uses both cello and guitar to bridge many seemingly disparate genres into cohesive solo performances. His stage appearances balance an intelligent process of experimentation with pure and simple entertainment.
He now accompanies various musicians, and performs as a soloist, carving his own niche by presenting hybrid shows of folk, rock and classical music. A typical solo performance will cross over a wide variety of genres, from the ancient to the modern, incorporating several instruments. He has adapted a guitar-like fingerpicking technique to the cello, which brings a gothic, twisted and haunting signature sound to his music.
Josiah is currently recording his debut CD, "Murder Ballads and Love Songs for Cello and Voice," which will be available in June, 2008.
Saturday 10 May @ Outpost, 2-5pm, free

Jim Hobbs - Alto Sax / Forbes Graham - Trumpet / Jacob William - Bass / Croix Galipault - Drums
Born in Madras (Chennai), India, Jacob William is a Boston-based bass player, composer and improviser working to stretch the multicultural paradigm - exploring the innate, ornate and the palpitating roots of diverse musical traditions.
" Jacob is a true breath of fresh air...special spirit...formidable bass skills...rare and wonderful...inspiring and motivational...one of the most exciting...” Joe Hunt
Jacob has performed and or recorded with musical luminaries such as: Anthony Braxton, Maynard Ferguson, Charlie Mariano, Rudresh Mahanthappa, Omar Sosa, T. Viswanathan and many more. He has appeared on records released on Warner Bros. and Intuition and has played numerous concerts and festivals internationally.
About Alto saxophonist Jim Hobbs, "ask around town, at least among the avant-garde set, and Hobbs’ name is evoked with near-reverence. Guitarist Joe Morris summed it up best in a radio interview a few years ago: “He’s as good as anyone who’s ever played that instrument.”
This group is rounded out by the fast establishing talents of Forbes Graham and Croix Galipault who are both fixtures on the Boston scene in different musical configurations.

QUOTES:
³JAZZ MORE THAN ONLY MUSIC: John Voigt with his super-modern sleek structured bass makes light as a feather dialogues with the drums, then trumpet...he [Voigt] says: ŒThere is much that's bad in the world, but even the worst hides sparks of divine light.' .... ³Here is music that celebrates the victory of life over death; [as Voigt mentioned] the victory of the glittering sparks over the darkness."
-- [Munich] Dachauer Nachrihten 12. März 2007.²
"In his hands the bass turns into a real talker, a mythical creature, a mouthpiece for the history of man. Voigt's very personal musical metaphors should not be missed." --The Improvisor, 1993.
John Voigt is "an avatar of creative music in Boston" -- Cadence, Dec. 1997.
"Friday night brought one of the world's most inventively alive bass players to Seattle. Boston's John Voigt has done everything from transforming his instrument into a conduit for readings of the Kabbalah to wringing from its neck the scream of an electrocuted pickle." Bill White, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, July 2002.
