Hey there.
For all the other lists, I'm just sending out this show announcement - Sunday, 9-midnight, Tres Gone playing an extended free improv at Someday Lounge.
But, since this is the first installment of our ongoing open free improv night, and I want all the great players in town to come play with us every Sunday that they are able; I'm inviting the many spectacular improvisors on the Improv As An Aspect of Community tribe to come and play. Bring an instrument, throw down for however long you want, and contribute to the birth of this scene.
And now, the regular announcement as it will be seen by the general populace:
SUNDAY 10/15:
The Silver Gate Club
A jazz club for the 21st century, offering hours of uninterrupted
improvisation from the underground's most inventive players, each
Sunday like church. Featuring a rotating core group of players,
with an open invitation to the entire Club – look for your invite
in the mail, all you free thinkers. Our first band of guiding
voices will be Tres Gone, a trio of two guitarists and a drummer
with ties to Portland's great improv houses (Smegma, Rasbliutto,
36 Invisibles, Pan-Zen, etc.) and a monastic fixation on the
unfolding moment.
9pm-1am
$5

From there, he expanded to V.P. of Free Life Communications and played alongside Dave Liebman, Badal Roy and Armen Halburien.
