TONIGHT’S SPONTANEOUS CONSTRUCTION WILL FEATURE: ANDREW D’ANGELO Andrew D’Angelo’s charismatic presence and iconoclastic musical ambition have been well-established over the course of his twenty year plus career and his key roles in bands like Human Feel, the Matt Wilson Quartet and Tyft. His dedication to pushing his limits and his willingness to delve into new musical areas have been powerful inspirations to his peers and to a new generation of improvisors. His forceful tone and aggressive improvisational style have made him one of the most influential alto saxophonists of his time. GREG SAUNIER: In 1992, Greg Saunier, having recently graduated with a degree in music composition from Oberlin Conservatory of Music, joined a short-lived San Francisco quartet called Nitre Pit, on drums. In March 1994, when this quartet broke up suddenly with shows still booked, Saunier and then-bassist Rob Fisk decided to continue as a duo. They quickly devised a convulsive, improvisatory playing style to make up for their lack of material and stark instrumentation.One such show where Fisk and Saunier were called upon to substitute for their former band was the 1995 Yo Yo A Go Go Festival in Olympia, WA. In the audience was Slim Moon, founder of the independent Olympia record label Kill Rock Stars. Moon signed Nitre Pit (as they were still known at that point) on for one 7â?³ single, at which point the duo renamed themselves Deerhoof. THOLLEM McDONAS Thollem’s perpetual travels have covered much of the North American continent and Europe. In the past 6 years he has added more than 20 albums to his discography on 9 different vanguard labels in 4 different countries. His music is diverse, approaching each album and concert uniquely, often resulting in dramatically new and different outcomes. Not long after birth Thollem began studying the keyboard repertoire from the medieval to the 20th century. After graduating with degrees in both piano performance and composition he dedicated his time for years in grassroots political and environmental movements before returning to his own music with his full focus. He is currently performing and recording as a soloist, in collaboration with many other individuals and groups as well as leading improvisation workshops. He is also the founding director of Estamos Ensemble.

 Tsigoti's ESP Disk' Debut - Private Poverty Speaks to the People of the Party ESP-Disk is proud to announce its newest artist, Tsigoti, an international band combining revolutionary politics and intelligent semi-acoustic avant-punk fervor. ‘Private Poverty Speaks To The People Of The Party’ was recorded with a group of players that have run the gauntlet of life experience and musical explorations and you can hear it in the vitality and urgency of the music. ‘Private Poverty Speaks To The People Of The Party’ still holds the same raw improvisational qualities of their debut recording, ‘The Brutal Reality of Modern Brutality’ (Edgetone Records). Straying from the typical notion of political commentary, Tsigoti delivers a clever, experimental, driving, AND fun accessible work of art that is true to the ESP mission: forward thinking and forever changing. Personnel Thollem McDonas – Beat-up Piano, Vocals Plus Guests Edoardo Ricci, Samuele Venturin, Francesco di Mauro, and a choir of a dozen friends. 2011 Tour Dates; Italy Aprile 13 at Dal Verme Roma Aprile 17 at Ex Stazione FS Boscoreale Aprile 19 at Zo Catania Aprile 20 at Lebowsky Ragusa Aprile 21 at Agriturismo Capuano Gangi Aprile 22 at Tavola Tonda Palermo Aprile 23 and 24 at Tavola Tonda (Improvisations workshop) Palermo Aprile 25 at Blue Dahlia Marina Di Gioiosa Jonica Aprile 28 at i Sotteranei Copertino Aprile 29 at La Macerie Molfetta Aprile 30 at Hotel de Ville San Giorgio Jonico Maggio 1 at Japigie Corsano Maggio 2 at Lughé Lugo Maggio 3 at MKC Koper, Slovenia Maggio 4 at XM24 Bologna Maggio 5 at Circolo Aurora Firenze Maggio 6 at Dalla Cira Pesaro Maggio 7 at CSC San Vito Di Leguzzano End Of Tsigoti Tour Thollem McDonas solo dates; Italy, USA, and Mexico: May 12th at Teatro Refugio Solo Piano Livorno, IT May 13, 14 and 15th at ScuolaPopolareDiMusicaIvanIllich leading Fronteras Assembled Workshop Bologna, IT May 14 at ScuolaPopolareDiMusicaIvanIllich with Edoardo Marraffa and Stefano Giust Bologna, IT May 19th at Maxxi Museum accompanying the films of Martha Colburn Roma, IT May 20th at Club Fanfulla 101 with Greg Saunier and live projection by Luca Tanzini Roma, IT May 21st at Brigadisco Cave Solo Piano Itri, IT June 3rd at Issue Project Room Solo Piano Brooklyn, NY June 4th at Anthology Film Archives with Martha Colburn and Greg Saunier NY, NY June 10th at Blue Note with Andrew D’Angelo and Greg Saunier NY, NY June 11th and 12th at What You Will Festival Columbus, Ohio July 4th at Fire House Project Detroit, MI August 14th – 21st at CANTE residency and concert with Estamos Ensemble San Luis Potosi, Mexico
