Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle, Nels Cline, Sean Lennon), Travis Laplante (Little Women, Extra Life, Anthony Braxton, John Zorn), and U Sco (from Portland) play jazz. 8pm. All ages.

Trevor Dunn :

Trevor Dunn was born in 1968 behind the Redwood Curtain in The Emerald Triangle traversing a fine line between hippies and rednecks. His first instrument was the clarinet and he began to focus on the electric bass at age 13. Four years later he co-founded the avant-rock band Mr. Bungle. In 1990 he received a BA in music from Humboldt State where he performed Koussevitsky’s Concerto for Double Bass with the HSO. In 2001 he was commissioned by the Elaine Kaufman Cultural Center to write a solo bass piece for Jon Deak. Mr. Deak performed “Depaysemant” for prepared contrabass later that year at Merkin Hall, Lincoln Center. Currently Dunn lives in Brooklyn, NY and can be heard on over 80 recordings including a disc of original film music entitled Four Films (Tzadik). Recent projects include his rock band MadLove, the quartet PROOF Readers which plays the music of Ornette Coleman as well as The Nels Cline Singers and a new, original quartet Endangered Blood. He continues to perform with John Zorn’s Electric Masada, Erik Friedlander’s Broken Arm Trio, Curtis Hasslebring’s New Mellow Edwards and occasional appearances with Andrew D’Angelo and John Hollenbeck’s Claudia Quintet.

Travis Laplante:

Travis Laplante is a powerful new voice in New York City’s experimental music scene, and has toured extensively with his band Little Women, whose acclaimed full-length debut was recently released on AUM Fidelity Records; with his trio, which features bassist Michael Formanek and drummer Gerald Cleaver; and with under- ground experimental rock bands Extra Life and Skeletons. Laplante has also worked with Anthony Braxton, Mark Dresser, Mat Maneri, Trevor Dunn, and many other luminaries of improvised music.
Laplante’s debut album, ‘Heart Protector’, features original music for solo tenor saxophone. ‘Heart Protector’, the first vinyl release on Skirl Records was recorded by Laplante himself and Ryan Power at the Big Barn in Putney, Vermont. The music itself was largely inspired by the heart protector, Laplante’s term for the pericardial sac that surrounds the heart.”

U Sco (Ryan A. Miller project)

Portland’s Ryan Albert Miller is a modern jazz guitarist, composer, and performer of a different breed. Fusing the styles if Robert Fripp, Nels Cline, and John McLaughlin – “Ryan Miller spins richly ornamented tangles of acoustic finger-plucking as well as disconcerting, progressive bits of electric squalor, sometimes within the same composition.” – The Portland Mercury
“Ryan Miller’s conception of technique and musical structure is wholly unique. The intensity of his performances move in tandem with the humility and lyricism that actually propel the soul of his work.”
- Sam Adams, Musician
Ryan performs and composes for the duo With Eyes Abstract (witheyesabstract.bandcamp.com ) and the trio U Sco (usco.bandcamp.com).
