I'm playing Wednesday evening at Presentation House Studio with Dylan Van der Schyff (drums) and Clyde Reed (bass). I've known Dylan for over 20 years now. He was the drummer in a band called Sound and Fury that I co-led with Len Aruliah in the early 1990s. We worked together in a number of other ad-hoc musical situations around that time and then, in 1997, I left Vancouver for a few years and only saw Dylan on occasional visits back home. While I was away, Dylan kept very busy making very fine music with other great players all over Europe, the US and Canada. He is an extremely creative and intelligent musician with a tremendous capacity for listening and intense interaction. These are also qualities shared by Clyde Reed. When I moved back to Vancouver, I somehow started playing a bit with Clyde and now we have become very frequent collaborators in music, academic writing, and as co-presenters of the Presentation House Series. Clyde has been playing improvised music since before I was born and has turned out to be a very important mentor for me in many ways. I'm looking forward to continuing my musical explorations with Clyde and reconnecting with Dylan. Music starts at 8:30pm. Address is 333 Chesterfield St in North Vancouver. $8 at the door.
