Yeah... the last gig i posted was several days ago now. Oh well...
I am in Arizona right now chilling wth my buddy Michael Krassner working on a secret project for the government (no kidding!).
Anyway... after this, its off to visit the folks for Turkey and then a few days in NYC working on some stuff for the future (my string quartet might finally get played a decade after it was written).
I will be doing a solo set at Barbes in Brooklyn on the 1st of December and then play some improvised small group things with a cast of New Yorkers invited by Michael Attias. I will post their names when I remember.
On the 3rd there is an opening of "art" by "musicians" at Corbett vs. Dempsey in Chicago. Some of the artists include Han Bennink, Peter Brotzmann, Sun Ra, Sebi Tramontana, Michael Hurley, Anthony Braxton, Michael Snow, Iue Mori, Chrstina Kubisch Pee Wee Russell and on and on... sheez! A lot to look at. Anyway...
Back to work... shhh!

irony

well... perhaps the most immoral administration in US history is re-elected because of its strong "moral" appeal. Oh well... fuck you and your god! My god is sending you and your god to hell... donchaknow?

Anyway... have been derelect about keeping this thing up to date. Jeb Bishop wrote this:
The Peter Brotzmann Chicago Tentet is performing with guest performer Mike Pearson as part of the Chicago Humanities Festival. The work to be performed, called "Be Music, Night," features poems by Kenneth Patchen, read by Mike, accompanied or otherwise by the band.
The performance is at 8 PM on Sunday, Nov. 7th, at the Thorne Auditorium at 375 E. Chicago Avenue -- part of Northwestern University's law school campus downtown.

That was so much more complete than anything I ever write. Thanks Jeb!

After that we (THE 10TET minus Mike) will play in Milwaukee on Monday. On Tuesday, Joe McPhee and Zerang and I are in Ann Arbor. The next night we are back here at the Cultural Center (Da Mayor!) On Thursday Flockterkit (Shelton/Karel/Rosaly/Roebke/LH) is at the 3030.
Saturday the 13th my trio with Jason Roebke is at the Charleston. Rosaly can't come but Jason Adashevitz is going to take the sticks.

And to all you republicans... wait until next time!
