Free Improv at fidget!

Come out and listen to 3 sets of prime Philadelphia free improv:

Henry Allen/Jonah Gelbart - guitar and trumpet

Philadelphia based musicians Henry Allen and Jonah Gelbart have been playing freely improvised music as a duo for the last several years. Henry Allen is a guitarist whose playing incorporates experimental punk ideas with rapidly evolving and abrasive harmonic textures. Jonah Gelbart plays various trumpets and shofar, combining his training in classical and jazz with a personal experimental language. They prefer a playful approach to music-making that emphasizes social interaction over directly aesthetical considerations.

Lance Simmons - percussion

Lance Howard Simmons is a self-taught percussionist and multi-disciplinary artist from the North American South residing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His other notable musical endeavors include The Playful Bunch, Slack, Mirror Men, and Unguent."  https://refulgentsepulchre.bandcamp.com/album/fractal-discharge 

Jack Wright/Ben Wright - bass and alto saxophone

Jack Wright is a veteran saxophone improviser based mainly in Philadelphia, regularly touring North America and Europe the past four decades and well known to improvisers. Continually seeking out interesting partners and playing situations, Wright is one of the originals of American free improv, and now at 81 he is still the "Johnny Appleseed of Free Improvisation," as the late Davey Williams (guitarist) called him in the 80s.

Ben Wright from Dixon, New Mexico plays double bass. He cut his teeth in Philadelphia punk rock, and has since been working the double bass for 30 odd years, bolstered by intense spats of incidental formal training. A lover of the lowest frequencies, Ben has explored many disparate forms of music through the bass, yet always returns to the wellspring of improvisation.
