Acoustic bassist Lisa Mezzacappa performs in conversation with the ceramic sculptures on view in the current exhibition "Annabeth Rosen: Fired, Broken, Gathered, Heaped."
Mezzacappa is a San Francisco Bay Area-based composer, acoustic bassist, and ensemble leader. Called "one of the most imaginative figures on the Bay Area creative jazz scene" by the Mercury News and "a Bay Area treasure" by KQED public radio, she has been an active part of California's vibrant music community for nearly twenty years. Mezzacappa's music encompasses ethereal chamber music, electro-acoustic works, avant-garde jazz, music for groups from duo to large ensemble, and collaborations with film, dance, and visual art. In addition to leading her own projects in the United States and abroad, Mezzacappa has performed with Fred Frith, Rhys Chatham, the Paul Dresher Ensemble, Mark Dresser's SIM Bass Ensemble, Nicole Mitchell, Ned Rothenberg, Vinny Golia, and many others.
Developed in partnership with the Center for New Music.
