Sunday, May 22, start concert 20:30, Entrance € 10 / CvA € 7.

JACOB WICK
Jacob Wick is a trumpet player and improvisor who lives in Mexico City and Chicago. Originally from the suburbs of Chicago, Wick has lived in Brooklyn, Oakland, and Los Angeles, and has performed with a variety of improvisers and composers in a variety of contexts, including at the Whitney Museum of American Art (US), the Moers Jazz Festival (DE), and el Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo (MX). He has performed with Toshimaru Nakamura, Bonnie Jones, Katherine Young, Andrew D’Angelo, Josh Roseman, and many others.

He practices an “object-oriented” approach to improvisation, privileging the perspective, experience, and expressive capacities of ambient non-human actors—air ducts, airplanes, birds, cement—over his own experience as a white, cis, American male. Current projects include the rain in its avoided effects, a solo trumpet performance and listening exercise; and Tres Hongos, an improvising trio with Marc Riordan and Frank Rosaly.

POLYBAND
New project by radical guitar wonderboy Jasper Stadhouders. A highly ambitious big band playing a hypnotic, transcendental ritual, involving polyrythmic cycli, minimal madness and mime.
