Open Session APRIL 11, 2013, LIVE STREAMING OF FESTIVAL AT SHAPESHIFTER LAB: http://live.shapeshifterlab.com “…The Nude Paper Sermon … is both of its time and still amazingly fresh. There are portions that sound like György Ligeti’s music for 2001: A Space Odyssey. And there are moments that sound like free jazz. And there are moments that sound like nothing else I’ve ever heard.” --Willliam Gibson, Signal to Noise Eric Salzman The Nude Paper Sermon & Wiretap LAB 7092 “…a brilliant amalgam of jazz, pop, blues and classical forms, cleverly developed and timed to make the satiric points stand out in the most vivid musical and theatrical terms.” –Peter G.

Tiina Kiik, Whole Note Ken Aldcroft’s Convergence Ensemble Sneaky Pete - Slugs’ (TRP-015) Convergence is neither a jazz crew playing tunes nor a free-improv unit, slipping from one to another both within and between songs.
