Improvised Explosive Device will perform at the Acadia Cafe in Minneapolis, Friday, April 08, 2005 - 8:00 PM to 12:00 AM
IMPROVISED
EXPLOSIVE DEVICE blows up LEONARD BERNSTEIN: a celebration and
re-calibration of an American master. A multi-media time warp twisting
and turning images and music from West Side Story . . . you won't
 believe your eyes or your ears. Features James Patrick on laptop,
Michael Ferrier (Electropolis) on sax and electronics, and Chris
Cunningham (James Chance, Anton Fier, Gavin Friday, Marianne Faithfull)
on imagery and guitarish items. "(IED walks) the line between
improvising structured rhythms and melodies and pure sound painting.
(They) leave traditional musical taxonomy a bit at a loss. . . a
luscious soundscape; by the end of their set, I was drifting right
along with them. . . ." Paul Cantrell, Minnesota Public Radio
Before IED, ANTHONY COX will perform a solo bass set. Anthony is one of
the world's most incredible bassists, having gigged with Stan Getz, Joe
Lovano, Steve Lacy, Billy Higgins, Daniel Humair, and many more. "His
bass sound is full of beauty and warmth and his ability to accompany
and still add very creative ideas into whatever music he is playing is
remarkable. He is equally comfortable playing chord changes with a Stan
Getz or Kenny Wheeler or playing open music with a Dewey Redman or Geri
Allen. His technique is absolutely awesome and his solos are full of
wit and wisdom." Peter Madsen, allaboutjazz.com
And opening this world-class evening at the Acadia will be cellist
MICHELLE KINNEY (Henry Threadgill, Julius Hemphill, John Zorn, Sheryl
Crow, etc) and the amazing dancer/choreographer LEAH NELSON, who will
collaborate on a unique improvisation.
