I'm excited to play a second iteration of Astrolabe, the new avant-jazz suite by Nathan Clevenger. It's actually the third iteration, but I wasn't able to join that performance in July; I was too booked up!
Nathan was just awarded an MGP grant from InterMusic SF for recording Astrolabe in 2025. I will be thrilled, THRILLED I SAY, to be a part of that as well.
The show will be at Temescal Arts Center in Oakland, at 7:00 PM. Admission is sliding scale from $20 to whatever astronomical sum you may be comfortable with (cash or Venmo accepted at the door).
