July 2018 • EARSHOT JAZZ • 9 July 19 New Series One Simon Henneman – Guitar Troy Schefelbein – Unamplified acoustic bass Mike Gebhart – Hand drums & hand percussion New Series One takes their name from a reference on Charles Mingus’ record, Mingus Presents Mingus. The trio plays in an uninterrupted flow, comfortably moving between melodies, rhythms, and chord changes. The result harkens to the roots of jazz as a very intimate folk music. Henneman sees New Series One as a space for each performer to interact on a shared platform, to interact and listen deeply, finding new places to explore. In an ever-expanding world with multiplying distractions, the group’s search for commonplace and closeness offers a refreshing antidote. The Chapel stage is an apt setting to promote their desired togetherness.

In his Scrambler project, Pincock calls upon some of Seattle’s most innovative improvisers using physical gestures to commu- nicate to them in real time to create a unique feedback loop. Each performance becomes an experiment for the performers and the spectators, who are invited to reconsider traditional roles and hierarchies between the conductor, musician, and audience relationships.

10 • EARSHOT JAZZ • July 2018 July 26 Dialectical Imagination

Rob Pumpelly – Percussionist Eli Wallace – Pianist Piano and drum duo Dialectical Imagination integrate the creative spirit of free-improvisation with the emotional expressionism of chamber music, which they call “ecstatic music.” After playing together in a number of other groups, Eli Wallace and Rob Pumpelly formed a tight musical partnership that explores the full spectrum of expression. Nothing is off limits to these two, from cathar- tic swells to iconoclastic breaks to resplendent waves. Their ecstatic expressionism does not fit squarely into a musical box, but rather embraces and celebrates the great paradoxes inherent to all art forms. Jeremy’s Pyramid Scheme PHOTO OF ROB PUMPELLY COURTESY OF THE ARTIST Jeremy Shaskus – Woodwinds and composer/arranger Will Lone – Drums Joel Bean – Organ Nathan Breedlove – Trumpet Jeremy’s Pyramid Scheme, composed by woodwinds performer Jeremy Shaskus is, in his words, “another pebble dropped in the stream of what is classified as music.” Featuring two-time Grammy nominee Nathan Breedlove on trumpet, Joel Bean on organ, and improvising artist Will Lone on drums, Jeremy’s Pyra- mid Scheme is comprised of established Seattle musicians who can seriously play. While the project shows deference to the music, it also injects it with hu- mor, igniting a sense of playfulness á la John Cage. The group embraces all musical influences, drawing heavily from the American Improvised Genre. –Tara Peters Tickets and more information available at earshot.org
