Larry Ochs Drum Core
$18 general

Larry OchsROVA's Larry Ochs leads an all-star ensemble consisting of percussionists Scott Amendola and Don Robinson and special guests from Tokyo, pianist Satoko Fujii and her trumpeter husband, Natsuki Tamura. Together they perform what they describe as "a meditation on and a 21st-century distillation of the songs of American and eastern-European blues-shouters, and of traditional chant-singers from Asia and Africa."

This is music loaded with playful musical dialogue and melodic, polyrhythmic exchanges. At once thunderous and subtle, sweet and dramatic, Larry Ochs Drum Core offers, as one critic wrote, "everything great music should offer: true emotions, adventure, variation, interplay, tension, surprise, and entertainment." Augmented here by the wildly-creative Fujii, one of the most original voices on her instrument, and the equally-compelling Tamura, this special performance will feature both familiar and unfamiliar musical dialects presented in a concert like none other.
