October 10: Jeff Albert Quartet with Josh Abram (bass), Mike Reed (drums), and Dave Rempis (alto sax)

October 11: There are several things on this show. One set is a duo with Dave Rempis. Another set is a piece I organized for several composer/improvisers. It requires us each to bring in some pre-composed melodies, and then we will perform and improvise on these melodies in a variety of ways as prescribed in the piece.
at Heaven Gallery

Chicago, IL 7PM
My new CD “Similar in the Opposite Way” is finished. It won’t be “officially released” until January, but if you are at one of these Chicago shows, and want a copy, and ask real nice (or have $10), I imagine we could hook you up.
