Live Jazz in SF Bay

Two adventurous musical spirits who delight in the here and now. Over the last decade, internationally acclaimed recording artist and multi-percussionist Ian Dogole (www.iandogole.com) and master multi-instrumentalist and sound healer René Jenkins (www.vibetherapy.org) have developed a symbiotic chemistry that knows no bounds. Their musical forays are deeply rooted in the ancestral indigenous music cultures of the Americas, Africa and beyond, and when combined with their irrepressible spirit of adventure, the result is a sonic feast for the senses and an uplifting, healing experience that is transformational.

On Saturday evening, June 6th, at 7:30 p.m., I'll once again have the pleasure of playing adventurous and uplifting music at the Bay Area's most welcoming space for creative improvised music – Bird & Beckett Books & Records, located at 653 Chenery Street in San Francisco. We'll be performing pieces by Ornette Coleman, Thelonious Monk, Elvin Jones, Athur Blythe, original compositions and free improvisations. The ensemble for this sonic adventure is: Richard Howell – saxophones & vocals Sheldon Brown – saxophones, bass clarinet & Chinese flutes Fred Randolph – double bass Ian Dogole – cajon, doumbek, udu, kalimbas, talking drum & misc. percussion $20 cover charge. $10 for students.
