Dylan Carlson!! Lloyd Thayer/Jerome Deupree!! Klezmatics!! Shay Hazan Quintet!!
Decided to go hog-wild and o a Program with 4 features - Dylan Carlson's 2018 solo LP, 'Conquistador', Lloyd Thayer and Jerome Deupree's guitar /drums improv LP 'Duets', The Klezmatics new album 'Letters to Afar' (Chant Records) and Tel Aviv Jazz combo, the Shay Hazan Quintet's 'Nuff Headlines' (also on Chant).
| Dylan Carlson,in his band Earth pioneered the concept of 'colossal drone', then, in a second phase, Earth returned with a trance-inducing take on Americana that underscored the drone inherent in primal blues. Carlson's 2018 solo LP is... solo. Solo guitar, and it's sparse, meditative, everything you'd expect. |

| A set of duo improvisations from a string player once known as the King of the Dobro, and the original drummer for Morphine. Long based in the Boston area, lloyd Thayer is a master musician as well as a teacher, a street performer (retired, I think) and a collector of esoteric stringed instruments (many of which are played with a slide). Deupree has been around for a long time, starting off in the legendary Bar-B-Q Records scene in Bloomington, then new-waving it up in Santa Cruz with the Humans, eventually co-founding Morphine in Boston, while simultaneously moving into jazz with Joe Morris and the Either/Orchestra. |

| The Klezmatics are renowned in the field of world music (the only klezmer band to win a Grammy award), emerging out of New York City’s East Village in 1986, combining eclectic musical influences including Arab, African, Latin and Balkan rhythms, jazz and punk. Letters to Afar, The Klezmatics’ 13th and most adventurous release to date, contains music composed for Hungarian found-footage artist Péter Forgács’ acclaimed installation of Polish-Jewish historical films sourced from the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research. This is The Klezmatics as you’ve never heard them – still deeply rooted in the traditions of klezmer and experimental avant-garde musics, but filtered through Brian Eno, David Torn, Duke Ellington, Morton Feldman and electronica |

| Bassist and composer Shay Hazan is a mainstay on the Tel Aviv jazz scene. His new album Nuff Headlines finds him in the leadership role, a rare position for a bass player. The quintet is filled out by the two-horn duo of Tal Avraham on trumpet and Eyal Netzer on saxophone, along with Milton Michaeli on piano and Haim Peskoff on drums. Hazan’s musical roots spread far and wide into the magical realm of Moroccan Gnawa music (Hazan often plays gimbri, the traditional three stringed skin-covered bass lute), the new wave of hip hop, and the 1960’s Chicago free jazz and human rights movement. |
