Greetings from Oslo. Have survived the Terries tour (actually very civilized). Of course it was great to hang out with the band (nobody even got into a fight!). Ken's new pieces are excellently mysterious in construction but make sense enough that it was a pleasure playing them again and again and the audiences seemed to be enjoy them too! The forms are a bit like Calder mobiles or something in that they balance but the objects are all different and one isn't quite sure why it doesn't just fall flat.
Onward... Tonight is a quartet with Froede Gjerstad, Amit Senn and Paul Nilsson-Love at Bla here in Oslo (the land of the $11 shot of bourbon!!) and we do it again tomorrow in Stavengar.
After that... am doing some hanging in berlin until the McPhee/Zerang/FLH trio tour...
11/01 Poitiers (F) - Carree Bleue
11/02 Saarbrücken (D) - Künstlerhaus
11/03 Vienna (A) - Blue Tomato
11/04 Florence (I) - Musicus Conc.
11/05 Ulrichsberg (A) - Jazzatelier
11/06 Maribor (Slo) - Narodni Dom
11/07 Zagreb (Cro) - KSET Club
then the V5 tour - will post dates when I get them (promise)! (I think its a lot of East Europe and Switzerland with a bit of Norway and Spain for good measure)
Tak Sa Mycket!
