Space is the Place: Andrew Barker & Michael Foster + Cactus Truck & Eric Pailhé

Friday, November 13, 20:30, entrance € 13

ANDREW BARKER & MICHAEL FOSTER
In the late 1990s, New Yorkers became enamored with a brash group of freewheeling improvisers from Atlanta going under the name Gold Sparkle Band. The chemistry of their fresh and ambitious style clicked with the New York establishment, and the group members soon began integrating with the entrenched Downtown musicians in taking the music forward at events like the Vision Festival and venues where free speech was practiced.
Andrew Barker was the drummer of the Gold Sparker Band. He has worked extensively with great musicians like William Parker and Ken Vandermark. Michael Foster is an energetic musician that also attended the Dutch Impro Academy. He plays different saxophones and clarinet, uses electronics and samples and does this in a creative, boundless way.

Andrew Barker: drums
Michael Foster: saxophone and clarinet

CACTUS TRUCK & ERIC PAILHÉ
You can say or write all kind of things about the Cactus Truck Trio. They are the young pride of the Amsterdam impro scene, wild and loud as hell, aggressive and intense as intense can be. But whatever you think or like, one thing is for sure about each concert: they give, unconditionally, everything they have.
Tenor and baritone saxophonist Eric Pailhé from France will join Cactus Truck for this occasion.

John Dikeman: tenor saxophone
Jasper Stadhouders: guitar
Onno Govaert: drums
