Somehow this one has escaped me. Do I hear a reference to Charlie Parker?

Fans of Cecil Taylor should appreciate this live piano duo featuring Christine Wodrascka and Betty Hovette. Dynamic, dense, and intense.

Having seen Christine last night at Chicago’s Elastic Arts, I picked up a pair of CDs to support her art. Christine performance with percussionist Michael Zerang was nothing less than incredible. She is inthe Chicago area as part of a cultural exchange known as The Bridge between Paris and Chicago sponsored by the local arts communities of each region. Christine will be performing with Les Sangliers, The Boars, at Madison’s recording studio Audio for the Arts. The quartet features Dave Remois, Keefe Jackson, Christine Wodrascka, and Peter Orins. From what I heard Thursday night the Sunday performance will be special indeed.

As Audio for the Arts is a recording studio seating is extremely limited.

Les Sangliers

Well said. Seriously, then check out Christine Wodrascka’ Iana, warp speed, di-lithium crystals and all. I listed it above, hopefully your system is up to the task.

This is a very bebop album and man I like it a lot. Re-listening to it last year after a hiatus I was really impressed with Donaldson’s playing.

Will definitely check it out - but will you help me out financially if something does happen to my system?

I just can’t understand how it got by me. Need to fix that gap.

I have a handful of the original Artists House releases and picked up the CD box set when it was released. Late Art Pepper, enjoy!

I also have these staged for a spin when I get around to it. I really enjoy this particular Art Pepper series.
