New York, NY - Arts for Art proudly kicks off its fall 2006 season of the Vision Club with two nights amazing avantjazz.

On Friday, October. 6 we will present a powerhouse duo: saxophonist Peter Brotzmann and drummer Han Bennink. The two free music masters have a long history, first in Brotzmann's large projects, notably the 1968 Machine Gun. A trio with Belgian pianist Fred Van Hove grew out of these collaborations. But in 1976, the two free music masters began work as a duo, releasing a series of recordings, concluding with 1980's Atsugi Concert. They weren't heard from again “on wax" until Brotzmann booked a series of performances in early 2004 with the explicit intention of capturing the performances for later release. The result, Still Popular After All Those Years, was issued on vinyl on Brotzmann's own resurrected BRO label later that same year.

On Saturday, October 7 we present the premier performance of the unique collective, featuring an irresistible combination of avantJazz masters: Marshall Allen (alto sax & E.V.I. - Electronic Valve Instrument), William Parker (bass, donson ghoni and double reeds), and the multi-instrumentalist Cooper Moore (percussion). The second set will be the same group with the addition of special guest, premier trumpet player Roy Campbell. With such a surprising collective of versatile artists, we can only hope that this will be the first of many performances.

Brotzmann / Bennink Press:

“Peter Brotzmann has exemplified European improvised music for over 40 years"--All About Jazz

“What makes Bennink special is his manifest love for the music, a love that inclines him to tear down the cardboard walls that too often separate different schools of jazz"--Drummer World

Allen / Parker / Moore / Campbell Press:

“Marshall Allen is one of the most distinguished altoists of his generation"--Clifford Allen, All About Jazz

“[William Parker is] the most consistently brilliant free jazz bassist of all time"--The Village Voice

“Cooper-Moore is the sort of artist that oozes music. Whether on piano, drum heads or instruments of his own devise, or even just screaming and hollering the blues, he is consistently captivating and inventive"--Kurt Gottschalk

“Roy Campbell, Jr. [is] an inventive trumpeter whose playing has a stream-of consciousness logic and an unassumingly rich and confident sound"--Gary Giddins, The Village Voice
