This Thursday, May 15, Trinosophes hosts Keir Nueringer, Skeeter Shelton/Shelby Murphy Duo, and the James Cornish/Eric Schweizer Duo.
They say, “Although he's performed our series numerous times in various iterations on saxophone, Farfisa organ, vocals and percussion, Keir Nueringer's new album is a solo sax releases that focuses on his excellent circular-breathing technique. In support of this new release, he'll be performing his ecstatic,physically demanding solo set of extended compositions that can last a half hour without Nueringer taking a conventional breath. He uses the continuous flow of sound from his horn to explore overtones and multiphonics, testing the limits of the instrument. The overall effect is more hypnotic and immersive than cerebral, but Nueringer's playing delivers on all counts.
Also on the bill are two local duos. First up are improvisers James Cornish (brass) and Eric Schweizer (baritone sax), in their Trinosophes debut as a pairing. Following that is another debut by an unusual pairing: local saxophone great Skeeter CR Shelton and recently developing naive-pianist Shelby Murphy.”
Doors are at 8 pm and there’s a $6 min donation.
