Phillip Greenlief and Scott Amendola + Karen Stackpole and Krys Bobrowski
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Greenlief and Amendola celebrate 30 years of collaboration with the release of Stay with it on Clean Feed Records. For the last three decades, the duo has dedicated their work to the tradition of free improvisation for drums and saxophone. They are joined here for an opening set by the duo of percussionist Karen Stackpole and instrument builder Krys Bobrowski.
Scott Amendola and Phillip Greenlief celebrate 30 years of collaboration with the release of STAY WITH IT on clean feed records. They began playing together when Greenlief moved back to the SF Bay Area in 1993. They experimented with a variety of approaches, but soon dedicated their work in the tradition of free improvisation for drums and saxophone. Their first release on 9 Winds Records, COLLECT MY THOUGHTS (1995), garnered international acclaim and offered the push they needed to begin touring and deepening their musical relationship. 30 years later, the sound of the duo has changed. Greenlief's sound palette has expanded to create a theater of the unexpected, and Amendola has integrated live electronics; the duo now moves easily between free jazz and electro-acoustic improvisation traditions with a fierce dedication to the moment that overrides allegiance to genre aesthetics.
