Ongoing to Mar 6, 2010 8:00 PM EST Anti-Jazz: The New Thing Revisited with Four Show Subscription at International House - Philadelphia, PA $55.00 - $65.00
Saturday, October 31 - Sun Ra Arkestra - Founded under the leadership of Sun Ra, the Arkestra pioneered a unique brand of afro-futurism, forging intersecting musical pathways that explore outer space and Egyptian mythology. Drawing on the work of Duke Ellington and Fletcher Henderson, the Arkestra are pioneers of the bop-derived avant-garde and collective improvisation. Their work has had tremendous impact on scores of musicians. Saturday, December 6 - Exploding Star Orchestra - A crucial figure in the development of Free Jazz, he organized the October Revolution in Jazz ? "The New Thing"'s equivalent to the Armory Show - introducing Free Jazz to a broader audience. For this very rare live appearance, Dixon performs with the Exploding Star Orchestra, led by Rob Mazurek. Featuring some of the most distinctive voices in Chicago's post-rock and jazz communities, the ESO is known for their adventurous and kaleidoscopic performances. Saturday, January 30 -Circulasione Totale Orchestra - Influenced by the work of Albert Ayler, Eric Dolphy and John Coltrane, Norwegian saxophonist Frode Gjerstad came to prominence as one of British drummer John Stevens' key collaborators. This electro-acoustic and multi-generational large ensemble features some of the most talented improvisers today. Most significantly perhaps is the the inclusion of Bobby Bradford, one of the great trumpeters to emerge from the avant-garde. A member of the Ornette Coleman Quartet from 1961 to 1963, it is said that Bradford largely fulfilled the potential of Don Cherry. Saturday, March 6 - Art Ensemble of Chicago - The Art Ensemble of Chicago is the flagship ensemble of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians and one of the most influential collectives in jazz history. Their performances combine music from the late 19th and early 20th century America with a modernist spirit of experimentation. Join us for this rare visit from one of America?s greatest artistic treasures.

Nov 20, 2009 at 7:30 PM EST (6:45 PM DOORS) to Nov 20, 2009 11:30 PM EST The Flatlanders featuring Jimmy Dale Gilmore, Joe Ely & Butch Hancock / Opening Act Ryan Bingham at Camden Opera House - Camden, ME $37.50
The Flatlanders have appeared on the David Letterman Show, Prairie Home Companion, and now the Camden Opera House stage. They are the composers of the soundtrack to the 1998 film The Horse Whisperer. Western Textures, Eastern Light With "Hills and Valleys," the Flatlanders shine delicate musical light on the idea of Impermanence By Brad Buchholz AMERICAN-STATESMAN STAFF Friday, March 27, 2009 The Texas philosopher-troubadours known as the Flatlanders are about to share with us the most sublime album of their career ? an existential gem, dappled with Eastern light. Imagine "All Things Must Pass" with a High Plains drawl and a musical saw, rich with whimsy and wisdom, a collection of songs that appreciates and honors the vast, delicate moment that is now. The men who conceived it ? friends and collaborators since they met in Lubbock, TX ? realize there's a particular sparkle in this record. Their performances are best described from a Washington Post review of an appearance at the Birchmere: " Entering something like their 37th year of existence, Joe Ely, Butch Hancock and Jimmie Dale Gilmore exude a timeless sheen, a kind of immutable connection with their music that was apparent even when they played songs from their new disc that lent it an understated majesty....Fittingly, the nights highlight came from a shifty, mid-tempo number: "No Way I'll Never Need You" rose and dipped with a suppleness that wasn't really country, Tex-Mex, folk or rock-and-roll. It was simply a Flatlanders tune and sometimes, those are the only kind that will do." "The best Flatlanders album yet...Like a fine wine, these guys just get better with age...If this doesn't get a Grammy nomination, I'd be awfully surprised (but in what category??). The Flatlanders are in a category all their own."

Nov 20, 2009 at 8:00 PM CST (7:15 PM DOORS) Improvised Shakespeare Company at iO Theater - Chicago, IL $14.00
Based on one audience suggestion (a title for a play that has yet to be written) The Improvised Shakespeare Co. creates a fully improvised play in Elizabethan style. Each of the players has brushed up on his ?thee?s? and ?thou?s? to bring you an evening of off-the-cuff comedy using the language and themes of William Shakespeare. Any hour could be filled with power struggles, star-crossed lovers, sprites, kings, queens, princesses, sword-play, rhyming couplets, asides, insults, persons in disguise and all that we?ve come to expect from the pen of the Great Bard. The night could reveal a tragedy, comedy, or history. Nothing is planned-out. Each play is completely improvised, so each play is entirely new!
Fridays @ 08:00 PM in the Del Close Theater - tickets are $14

The Model Citizens present ''Cine-IMPROV' Live!
You are invited to a very funny movie... YOU'RE OWN!
Miami?s hottest improv actors perform unscripted theater based on your suggestions, in the art of improvisation rather than the typical comedy you see at the clubs and on TV. Included in this show will be "Cine-IMPROV", a live improvised "movie" based on the life experiences of one of our audience members, with stylistic parody, edits, comedic characters, and other scenic devices.
?The Cine-Improv troupe works at a higher level than even the pros you see on Comedy Central, late-night TV, and at clubs. Their improvised take on film removes the middleman and leaves him (rolling) on the cut-up room floor.?--Greg Baker New Times

Nov 20, 2009 at 8:00 PM CST Willy Porter & His Band with Luke Doucet at SPACE - Evanston, IL $28.00 - $38.00
Porters combined experience at both major and independent record labels ultimately fueled the drive to release a wider variety of music on a more frequent basis, and led Porter to start his own imprint, Weasel Records in December 2005. His latest release, Available Light (Ryko Distribution), features Porter at the peak of his powers as a guitarist, singer, songwriter & recording artist. Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull, recently described Porters musicianship this way: Willy Porters music demonstrates admirably that the technical excellence of his guitar-playing will never overwhelm the essence of the song itself. In perfect symbiosis, the disciplines of performance and songwriting combine together to create the unique work for which he is admired by professional peers and audiences alike. Oh and a damn fine singer too. Thank goodness he doesn't play the flute.
