Visiting from Tokyo, AYAKO KANDA moves between the feral and the utterly wild, between free improvisation and standard jazz, quick sketches and impressionist painting, creating rules and breaking them as she roams between linguistic and alinguistic modes of expression.

ANTHONY COLEMAN is an NYC-based composer, improvising keyboardist and teacher. His ensembles have included the trio Sephardic Tinge (three CD’s: Sephardic Tinge (1995), Morenica (1998), and Our Beautiful Garden is Open (2002) – all on Tzadik) and Selfhaters Orchestra (two CD’s: Selfhaters (1996) and The Abysmal Richness of the Infinite Proximity of the Same (1998), both on Tzadik). Coleman has toured and recorded with John Zorn, Elliott Sharp, Marc Ribot, Shelley Hirsch, Roy Nathanson and many others.

ANDREW DRURY is a drummer, improviser, composer, and bandleader as well as a presenter, producer, educator, pioneer of extended techniques for percussion, and co-founder and Director of Continuum Culture & Arts. Drury performs as a soloist, leads ensembles of all sizes, produces audio and video, and collaborates with adventurous musicians and artists in many contexts. He has performed in 30 countries and on nearly 80 recordings. His work has received high praise from critics throughout his career.

BURTON / COCHRANE / DRURY
MINI TOUR!

JILL BURTON brings her voice and physical form as the two main tools of her trade. Her bio includes training in ballet and classical music at an early age, while having quickly developed an affinity for improvising in performance. Ms. Burton was a witness and participant in the profound cultural and interdisciplinary possibilities of the 1980′s arts renaissance that blossomed out of the then near-apocalyptic urban collapse and wholly non-commercial NYC/Lower East Side scene. She has spent more than fifteen years studying and practicing non-invasive medical modalities including Reiki, Ortho-Bionomy and Sound Healing. Burton’s improvised works manifest most often in wordless vocals, seemingly constructing invisible sonic architecture, both bordering the interior of a venue and transforming those same borders into transducers carrying vibrations. (Matt Gorney)

CHRIS COCHRANE is a songwriter and guitarist who has been playing in New York since the 1980s. Chris has played with Thurston Moore, Zeena Parkins, John Zorn, Marc Ribot, Billy Martin, Eszter Balint, Stew, James Chance, Mike Patton, Henry Kaiser, Andrea Centazzo, Annie Gosfield, Tim Hodgkinson, Miguel Frasconi, Richard Buckner, Davey Williams, Ladonna Smith and Jim Pugliese and many others. He has composed music for Dennis Cooper, John Jasperse, Neil Greenberg, Nayland Blake, Ishmael Houston-Jones, Jennifer Monson and Circus Amok. He was in the bands No Safety and Curlew, and is currently works in several projects: Collapsible Shoulder with Brian Chase, Kato Hideki and Kevin Bud Jones, Alphawhore with Gordon Beeferman and Kevin Shea, a duo with Stuart Popejoy and periodically plays with the Chris Rael's Church of Betty.

ANDREW DRURY grew up near Seattle and mentored with Ed Blackwell from 1983-92. Drury has pioneered extended wind and friction techniques for drums, performing in 30 countries and on 80 recordings with musicians including Wadada Leo Smith, Myra Melford, Frank Lacy, Tomeka Reid, Annea Lockwood, Jason Kao Hwang, Satoko Fujii, Michel Doneda, and James Brandon Lewis. Drury has led over 1,500 workshops with vulnerable populations in shelters, prisons, Nicaraguan villages, refugee communities, and in 20 universities on three continents. He has produced over 200 Soup & Sound concerts every where from his home to Lincoln Center. He directs the non-profit organization, Continuum Culture & Arts.
