Ottokar, a new musical group with strong roots in Philadelphia, PA, informs itself as "IIRI - intuitive, instrumental rock improvisation", for keyboards, guitars, and percussion. The players create music on the spot, with influences ranging from progressive rock, fusion, hard core improvised music, and jazz. They are a cross between early Pink Floyd, Soft Machine, Hatfield and the North, Pat Metheny, Bruford, The Music Improvisation Company, and Weather Report, among others.

However the music of Ottokar is 100% original, and the three players are bonded in a collective spirit, in which each generously provides the other with rhythmic and melodic backgrounds for solos, as well as providing an impetus for compositional direction. This clarity, timing, and patience in the music of the ensemble creates extended pieces of beauty and power, reaching beyond the bounds of ego and hierarchy. It should also be noted that the players employ all manner of vintage and modern gear, merging sounds of the past and future in rapture.

Ottokar will perform at The Stone on November 16 at 8pm. Admission: $10

Joel Forrester (piano) Claire Daly (baritone sax) Vito Dieterle (tenor sax) David Hofstra (bass) Matthew Garrity (drums)
with special Microscopic guest stars: Michael Hasim (tenor sax) and Dave Sewelson (baritone sax)

Joel Forrester is the composer of more than 1200 tunes, a versatile and accomplished jazz pianist, leader of his own quartet and prolific recording artist. He has performed in an extraordinary diversity of settings - from large ensembles to a duet setting with a tap dancer! His playing draws from stride, boogie-woogie, bebop, trance and what he likes to call 'salon pieces' but each composition bears the stamp of this most individual artist.  

Since its founding in 1980, under the co-leadership and co-compositional duties of soprano saxophonist Phillip Johnston and pianist Joel Forrester, the Microscopic Septet have been "New York's most famous unknown band"; since 1990, the catchy, film noir theme they created for NPR’s "Fresh Air with Terry Gross" has aired daily on stations across America, and may now be the most-broadcast jazz tune in the world.

Joel Forrester's Secret Identity will perform at The Stone on November 16 at 10pm. Admission: $10

The Revolutionary Snake Ensemble is a costumed funk/street beat improvisational brass band performing a unique blend of traditional New Orleans and other original modern improvised celebratory styles. Performer Magazine noted that the band "may operate from the traditions of New Orleans music, but the boundaries are pushed wide open when they actually play."

Leader Ken Field, a longtime member of the modern music ensemble Birdsongs of the Mesozoic formed the group in 1990 with trumpeter and cartoonist Scott Getchell to entertain at a pagan women's ritual celebration. As a performer, Field has worked as a sideman with countless renowned reggae, funk, rock, jazz, and world beat artists - and performed for former President Bill Clinton.

Revolutionary Snake Ensemble has been twice nominated by a panel of music writers and critics for a Boston Music Award. Glenn Astarita on NPR’s Morning Edition said, "They've pretty much modernized the traditional concept, and they've spun it into a singular sound that's very unique and very vibrant. They went past the tried and true. They managed to do it all with a very distinct musical persona."

The Revolutionary Snake will perform at The Stone on November 17 at 8pm.

"If you’ve been hungering to hear Latin-based jazz in a new light, your prayers have been answered." - NY Press

"The ten-piece Positive Catastrophe pools the resources of two outstanding bandleaders: the ever-searching avant-jazz cornetist Taylor Ho Bynum, and Abraham Gomez-Delgado, head of the eclectic alterna-Latino outfit Zemog El Gallo Bueno?full of swagger and groove, it combines Mingus-esque polyphonic momentum with vibrantly off-kilter world-funk." - Time Out New York

Positive Catastrophe is the brainchild of Taylor Ho Bynum (cornet) and Abraham Gomez-Delgado (percussion). Taylor is one of the most impressive of the latest crop of up and coming jazz musicians and Abraham has long been expanding the boundaries of Latin-based music and jazz. Together they have come up with Positive Catastrophe: a trans-idiomatic ten-piece little big band that successfully connects the dots between Sun Ra and Eddie Palmieri and beyond! The group enlists a bevy of New York’s most adventurous jazz and salsa musicians, all of whom are composers and leaders in their own right. The full line up is: Taylor Ho Bynum (cornet, flugelhorn, co-leader), Abraham Gomez-Delgado (vocals, percussion, co-leader), Jen Shyu (vocals, erhu), Matt Bauder (tenor sax, clarinets), Michael Attias (baritone sax), Mark Taylor (french horn), Reut Regev (trombone), Pete Fitzpatrick (guitar), Alvaro Benavides (bass), Tomas Fujiwara (drums). With the exceptional musicianship of all of these players and their fluidity in multiple genres, a unique instrumentation that hints at a traditional jazz and salsa big bands yet includes french horn, erhu, and rock guitar, and a pair of dramatic vocalists that are comfortable singing in three languages, Positive Catastrophe creates a truly boundary-crossing kind of new music.

Positive Catastrophe will perform at The Stone on November 17 at 10pm.

Jason Adasiewicz (vibraphone), Josh Berman (cornet), Aram Shelton (alto sax), Jason Roebke (bass), Frank Rosaly (drums)

"Adasiewicz has assembled a quintet of astounding musical proportion and depth, playing his tricky music that seems to have no limits of imagination, wit or wisdom." - The All Music Guide

Vibraphonist and composer Jason Adasiewicz formed Rolldown in early 2003. In the time since the band started, Adasiewicz has become a prolific member of Chicago's jazz and improvised music scene. He is quickly gaining widespread recognition and is one of the most exciting vibraphonists and interesting bandleaders working today. Rolldown, which consists of reedist Aram Shelton, cornetist Josh Berman, bassist Jason Roebke, and drummer Frank Rosaly sounds like a combination of Blue Note's classic, avant-leaning '60s albums with contemporary drive, swing, energy, and attack.

Jason Adasiewicz's Rolldown will perform at The Stone on November 18 at 8pm. Admission: $10

John Hollenbeck (drums) Matt Moran (vibes) Ted Reichman (accordion) Chris Speed (reeds) Chris Tordini (bass) + Matt Mitchell (piano) and Theo Bleckmann (vocals)

Formed by the twice Grammy-nominated drummer/composer John Hollenbeck, who The Village Voice called, "superb, technically ingenious... passionate and serious, but also playful and funny..." The Claudia Quintet explores the edge without alienating the mainstream, proving that genre-defying music can be for everyone. They are an astonishing band with a huge range of emotional depth and range with appeal far beyond strictly 'jazz' listeners. The Claudia Quintet has amazed audiences from Alabama to the Amazon. Their unique sound has inspired dancing hippie girls at a New Mexico noise festival, the avant-garde cognoscenti in the concert halls of Vienna and Sao Paolo, and a generation of young musicians worldwide.

Their music marries jazz, new music, post-rock - but no laundry list of influences is quite sufficient to describe their iconoclastic sound. Suffice it to say, you can feel secure bringing your hipster nephew and your math professor along to a gig, and everyone will go home happy. The Claudia Quintet’s music demonstrates that "Innovative jazz does not have to be harsh, angry, loud, shrill or grating; it can be delicate, witty, ethereal and radiantly lyric" (Chicago Tribune).

The Claudia Quintet +1 featuring Theo Bleckmann will perform at The Stone on November 18 at 10pm. Admission: $10

Paul Lai, Noah Guevara (guitars) Mark Kimbrell, Dylan Fujioka (drums)

Upsilon Acrux is an instrumental quartet (dual guitars and dual drums). Their music is not easy to describe but attempts to do so regard it as esoteric, mathematical, athletic, and noisy. It is generally very intense, loud, hard-hitting and unbelievably virtuosic.

Prefix Magazine notes that the music is "...weird and playful and glowing, a much-needed antidote to the normally sober world of instrumental progressive rock.” The combination of blazingly fast, interwoven musical lines delivered at blinding speed mixed with their unique melodic sense makes Upsilon's music instantly recognizable. They are "Technically brilliant, rhythmically unbelievable, with just the right amount of melody," (Disagreement.net). Upsilon Acrux is one of the most creative and original of the shockingly large number of great post-punk, avant-garde rock bands today.  

Upsilon Acrux and Afuche will perform at The Stone on November 20 at 8pm. Admission: $10

Ruben Sindo Acosta (keyboard, drum, vocals) Zach Ryalls (guitar)
Andrew Carrico (baritone sax) Denny Tek (bass) Ian Chang (drums)

Based out of Brooklyn, NY and creating a group sound that is truly their own, Afuche is a band that needs to be heard by lovers of adventurous, modern progressive music! Formed by Ruben Sindo Acosta & Zach Ryalls in 2008, they have been adding to the ensemble and evolving their sound by writing, performing, and touring non-stop - it was at one of their many shows where we found them and watched their continued development with keen interest.

Afuche is a 5 piece band featuring Ruben on keyboard, vocals and percussion, Zach on guitar, Denny Tek on bass, Andrew Carrico on baritone sax and Ian Chang on drums. Taking their cues from Can, The Dirty Projectors, Frank Zappa, King Crimson, James Brown, Tortoise, as well as African and Afro-Cuban music, they take these musical influences as a base and apply their own group sound to it and bend it all into a hybrid, original and very progressive contemporary rock music that is interestingly complex without losing its inviting quality; most of all Afuche is a lot of fun.

Upsilon Acrux and Afuche will perform at The Stone on November 20 at 8pm. Admission: $10  

Gregg Bendian (percussion) Chad McLoughlin (guitar) Chern Hwei (violin) Neil Alexander (piano) Peter Brendler (bass) Leigh Stuart (cello) Earl Maneein (violin) Nick Revel (viola) Melissa Stylianou (voice)

Founded in 2001 by drummer and composer Gregg Bendian, The Mahavishnu Project is dedicated to reviving and bringing to today's audiences the excitement and the transcendent experience of visceral intensity of the early days of jazz/rock in general and the music of the Mahavishnu Orchestra specifically. The band was formed by Gregg to perpetuate the spirit of live performance in which this music was created by performing this great music live! Their latest album, Return to the Emerald Beyond, features a 11 piece band interpreting The Mahavishnu Orchestra’s Visions of the Emerald Beyond, one of the most explosive albums in the fusion genre. This is not a sound-alike project; Gregg and the band do not try to recreate the solos of the original players. What they do do is capture the amazing intensity and fire that the Mahavishnu Orchestra exuded, add their own selves to it and allow people to experience it first hand in concert and now on record. The band just slay the material and play it with conviction and belief .

The Mahavishnu Project will perform at The Stone on November 20 at 10pm. Admission: $15

Dave Willey (accordion, guitar) Jon Stubbs (trombone, keyboards) Mark Harris (winds, reeds, vocal) Mike Johnson (guitar) Brian MacDougal (bass) Raoul Rossiter (drums)

"Their compositions are delivered with amazing technical dexterity, focusing on melody, mood and dynamics. The group really tears it up, performing with passion and daunting expertise." - Paul Lemos 

Hamster Theatre, which is co-led by multi-instrumentalists Dave Willey and Jon Stubbs, straddles the edges of folk music, avant-garde, world music, modern classical and improvisation. Using an instrumentation of accordion, keyboards, trombones, saxophones, clarinets, flutes, guitars, mandolin, bass, drums and percussion, their pieces are always filled with delightful melodies and surprising orchestrations.

Hamster Theatre will perform at The Stone on November 22 at 8pm. Admission: $10

"Thinking Plague stands out as a shining example of avant-garde music blended with just enough rock for it to be called progressive rock" - Music.com

Thinking Plague is an avant-garde rock group founded in 1982 by guitarist/composer, Mike Johnson, and bass guitarist/drummer, Bob Drake. Their music explores the frontiers where rock, folk, jazz and modern symphonic meet. Through these explorations, the band has created "a genre of music unto itself, eclectically derivative in a bold way and spectacularly innovative in the old-fashioned sense of genuine originality" (Journal Wired).

Thinking Plague’s music combines lyricism with intense and sophisticated rhythmic and harmonic ideas. Their influences cover a spectrum ranging from Beatles and Byrds to Henry Cow and William Schuman. At moments the sound of Thinking Plague may begin to resemble pop or jazz music only to be stretched or "morphed" in the next instant into new regions that often defy categorization.

Thinking Plague will perform at The Stone on November 22 at 10pm. Admission: $15

Sabir Mateen: tenor saxophone / Roy Campbell: trumpet / Marcus Cummins: soprano saxophone / Weasel Walter: bass guitar / Marc Edwards: drums

An appearance by the volcanic free jazz unit lead by Cecil Taylor/David S. Ware alumni and powerhouse drummer Marc Edwards and Flying Luttenbachers majordomo on bass.

Anyone lusting for old school, high energy free jazz REVOLT MUSIC will not want to miss this.

Marc Edwards/Weasel Walter Group will perform at The Stone on November 23 at 8pm. Admission: $10

The music of American saxophonist and scholar Jason Robinson thrives in the fertile overlaps between improvisation and composition, acoustic music and electronics, tradition and experimentalism. Initially a devotee of post-1960s jazz and creative music, Robinson’s music is a modern amalgam of cutting-edge trends in jazz practice and electroacoustic music. Described as a “potent improviser” by Bill Milkowski of JazzTimes and “wildly spontaneous” by Don Heckman of the Los Angeles Times, Robinson is a distinct voice in a new generation of creative musicians in equal dialogue with jazz, popular music, experimental music, and electronic music.

Jason Robinson will perform at The Stone on November 23 at 10pm. Admission: $10

"Great writing and ensemble playing. Deep thoughtful solos."
- Jack DeJohnette

Carlo De Rosa (bass) Mark Shim (sax)
Enrique Haneine (piano) Tommy Crane (drums)

Proficient, creative, a first-call, in-demand bassist, Carlo De Rosa has earned a reputation of very high standards. As a composer and band-leader of the quartet Cross-Fade, he also has very high standards, but outside of New York City clubs, this work has not been widely recognized. Brain Dance is set to remedy that situation! The compositions give the players malleable material with which to work with; there’s plenty of thematic material, but also plenty of room for them to add their individuality. The end result is greater than even the sum of their musical talents and the compositions. The music constantly moves between the modern, avant-garde and electric jazz worlds, never standing still, but taking the most interesting and attractive elements of these worlds and combining them into a new whole.

Carlo De Rosa's Cross-Fade will perform at The Stone on November 25 at 8pm. Admission: $10

Matt Steckler (woodwinds) Jared Sims (woodwinds) Terry Goss (woodwinds) Charlie Kohlhase (woodwinds) Dave Ambrosio (bass) Bill Carbone (drums)

The term dead cat bounce denotes a small, brief recovery in the price of a declining stock, but to composer and saxophonist Matt Steckler it means more; Dead Cat Bounce, both in name and as a group, evokes an artistic vision. “It signifies one’s dedication to creative rebirth and renewal even as time, tradition, and masters move on,” says the Boston-based Steckler, who founded DCB in 1997 to explore new sounds within the classic confines of jazz. Bolstered by bassist Dave Ambrosio and drummer Bill Carbone, DCB features an interactive and inventive frontline quartet of saxophonists: Steckler, Charlie Kohlhase, Terry Goss, and Jared Sims. Drawing inspiration from blues and funk, as well as Caribbean, Brazilian, and West African traditions, DCB’s fourth studio album, Chance Episodes, presents a cosmopolitan and international sound, all in a stunning interpretation of Steckler’s original arrangements. Chance Episodes is Dead Cat Bounce’s first release on Cuneiform Records.

Dead Cat Bounce will perform at The Stone on November 25 at 10pm. Admission: $10

Erik Lindgren (piano) Rick Scott (keyboards)
Ken Field (reeds) Michael Bierylo (guitar, computer)

Birdsongs of the Mesozoic began in 1980 as a side project by half of Boston's now legendary Mission Of Burma, one of the most important American rock bands of the last 20 years.

Birdsongs of the Mesozoic is a striking 4-piece ensemble that is almost entirely instrumental, and incorporates many different musical elements. They combine equal parts progressive rock, pulse, classical, and more into an instantly recognizable whole. Critic Rick Anderson writes, "Very few bands have ever managed to straddle the worlds of modern classical music and rock as successfully as this one did."

Perhaps because of their tie to the ever-popular Burma or perhaps because of their sheer excellence and innovative instrumental music, Birdsongs of the Mesozoic has earned audience appeal and wide international recognition. The New York Times called them "the world's hardest rocking chamber music quartet." Their unlikely mix of rock, punk, classical, minimalism, and free-form sound appealed to a broad range of musical tastes.

Birdsongs of the Mesozoic will perform at The Stone on November 26 at 8pm. Admission: $10

Roger Carroll, Danny Finney (saxes) Robbie Kinter (drums) Marc S. Langelier (bass) George M. Lowe (guitar)

Rattlemouth is Richmond, Virginia's Ethio Jazz and World Groove powerhouse. Featuring the saxophone tandem of Danny Finney and Roger Carroll, the monster rhythm section of Robbie Kinter (drums) and Marc S. Langelier (bass) and the guitar of George M. Lowe, they blaze through spirited instrumental updates of classic tunes from around the world (Mali, Ethiopia, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Cuba, Jamaica, Lebanon, etc.), plus similarly flavored originals, inspiring audiences to equally spirited dancing. This current body of work, which comprises their live repertoire, is captured on their new cd 5.

Having emerged from the ashes of the legendary Orthotonics in 1989, Rattlemouth is also known for it's extensive catalogue of art rock, as presented on their two releases on the renowned Cuneiform label in the late 90's and the 2006 self-released, Hopabout. This latter cd advances the shift in direction toward world grooves, as evidenced by several middle eastern inspired original compositions. [From Rattlmouth's official website]

Alec K. Redfearn (accordion, vocals) Frank Difficult (objects)
Orion Rigel Dommisse (organ, vocals) Matt McLaren (percussion)
Christopher Sadlers (contrabass) Ann Schattle (horn)

Alec K Redfearn is a musician, songwriter and composer who has created music for dance, theater, and film. He has also developed a unique style of playing the accordion, introducing elements commonly associated with the guitar such as distortion, drone, and noise. He has performed on accordion and recorded in several ensembles of which he also composes for, such as Amoebic Ensemble, Barnacled, Beat Circus, and most notably, the Eyesores.

The Eyesores are a large and powerful nine-piece band from Providence, Rhode Island. They are a genre-bending ensemble that combines a vast array of influences such as old-time Americana, acid folk, and Eastern European music with their own unorthodox instrumentation. This band is simultaneously drawing from the 'primitive' and 'avant-garde' esthetic, and blending together this huge range of styles into a distinctive and charming sound that leaves their audiences equally enthralled and confused. 

Alec K. Redfearn and the Eyesores will perform at The Stone on November 27 at 8pm.

Brett Sroka (trombone, laptop) Shawn Baltazor (drums) Jason Moran (piano, rhodes electric piano)

"...into completely new horizons similar to nothing you've heard before... captivating, hypnotic, and attractively exotic music" - All Music Guide  

Ergo is a trio using Rhodes electric piano and analog synth, drums and trombone and laptop. Their music is one of stark melodic beauty, enveloping electro-acoustic texture and empathic imagination. They have been playing together since 2003, combining the modern sound of electronica and beyond with jazz and ambient music. The basic building blocks of their sound are beats and electronics, trombone, the Fender Rhodes and drums. The music here generally develops slowly but it’s also very accessible while remaining something that holds active interest.

In the early 2000s, Brett Sroka began exploring beyond his jazz background and became fascinated with electronic music, surrounding himself with synthesizers and software. As he sought to reconcile the six hundred years of technology between trombone and computer he also found musicians of similarly elastic and adventurous temperaments. As they continued to play together, an idiosyncratic dynamic began to cohere and Ergo was born. With their debut cd, the band put forth a statement of purpose and were lauded by AllAboutJazz-NY for "Best Debut CD" of 2006. Ergo’s sophomore cd, multitude, solitude brings the band further into it’s own. They have refined a unique style of unadorned melody and intrepid improvisation with a sensual approach to the post-modern techniques of sampling, synthesis and signal processing.

Ergo will perform at The Stone on November 27 at 10pm.

Forever Einstein is an avante-garde band formed in 1989, described as a, "very smart trio," consisting of percussionist John Roulat, bassist Kevin Gerety, and guitarist Charles O'Meara, aka C.W. Vrtacek. They were a featured act at the annual MIMI festival of progressive music in France (1991) and Prog Day in North Carolina (2003). They are known for tightly weaving a variety of styles such as folk, surf-rock, jazz, metal, country and more into concise, highly arranged pieces with long, often ridiculous titles. They have been compared to King Crimson, Frank Zappa, and Gong. 

Forever Einstein will perform at The Stone on November 29 at 8pm.

Leo Ciesa (drums) Nick Didkovsky (guitars) Yves Duboin (soprano sax)
Rob Henke (trumpet) Ben Herrington (trombone) Jesse Krakow (bass)
Michael Lytle (bass clarinet) Kathleen Supove (keyboards)

Emerging in the early 80s out of the Creative Music Studio and finding fertile ground in the early ’80s “downtown/punk jazz” scene, NYC’s own Doctor Nerve have been dazzling and amazing audiences for nearly 30 years! Keeping a surprisingly stable personnel throughout the years, the group have always been known for their screamingly high-energy performances that combine elements of metal, artrock, punk jazz and improvisation.

Nick Didkovsky is a composer, guitarist, computer music programmer, and leader of Doctor Nerve. He is a former student of Christian Wolff, Pauline Oliveros and Gerald Shapiro. Didkovsky has developed a Java music API called JMSL (Java Music Specification Language). JMSL is a toolbox for algorithmic composition and performance.

Mike Eber (guitar) Johnny DeBlase (bass) Jeff Eber (drums)

After forming Zevious in 2006 as a straight jazz trio, guitarist Mike Eber, drummer Jeff Eber, and bassist John DeBlase immediately broke free of the bonds of tradition. Mike ditched the jazz guitar for a Telecaster and DeBlase replaced his upright with an electric bass and they both picked up distortion pedals and cranked them up. Zevious began combining progressive rock grooves, tech metal, structured group improvisation, and complex song forms with a conventional jazz sound, creating a unique compositional style. Zevious is a distinctive fusion band in the burgeoning punk-jazz movement.

Vijay Iyer notes, "The music of Zevious shrewdly juxtaposes order and its opposite: structural intensity pushed to its breaking point in the most appealing way. These boys are brilliant and fearless."

Zevious will perform at The Stone on November 30 at 8pm.
Admission: $10

Ken Thompson (sax) Ty Citerman (guitar)
Eric Rockwin (bass) Adam D. Gold (drums)

What happens when you take four highly opinionated, strong-willed and creative composer/musicians and put them in a band together? You might have a volatile problem on your hand...or you have Gutbucket.

Founded by bassist Eric Rockwin, saxophonist Ken Thomson, guitarist Ty Citerman, and drummer Paul Chuffo between shifts at Columbia University's vital WKCR, Gutbucket built their all-important live rep in New York clubs before spreading across east coast college towns like a hoard of freethinking barbarians.

The decade-old New York quartet is not only equally comfortable playing in front of 900 sweatily pogo-ing teenage skate-punks, a crowd of cosmic indie-psych freaks, or on an anarchist German art collective houseboat, but most importantly, their music fits right in.

Gutbucket has been destroying walls between art-rock, avant-squonk, and mathed-out prog, The Washington Post calls them “A classic case of a band that defies categorization.” The group attacks their music with the ferocity usually reserved for punk, and the humorous abstraction of art-rock, despite having earned their jazz bona fides.  

Gutbucket will perform at The Stone on November 30 at 10pm.
