Vinny Golia - Karen Stackpole duo

Vinny Golia and Karen Stackpole performed a breathtaking duo at the
First Annual Matthew Sperry Festival - and amazed the audience with
their contrabass flute and gong brilliance. This performance will
highlight a lesser-known aspect of Golia's work - exploring the quieter,
reflective and meditative side along with Karen Stackpole, one of the
most transcendental gong players in the country. A rare treat!

8:45 PM
Citta di Vitti
Phillip Greenlief - alto saxophone
Lisa Mezzacappa - contrabass
Jason Levis - drums

During October and early November 2006, I spent time re-viewing a few of
Michelangelo Antonioni's films, namely L'Avventura, L'Eclisse and Il
Deserto Rosso - all featuring Monica Vitti. I turned the sound off and
composed a total of 38 melodic sketches to the images at hand. Some were
highly developed, some were mere fragments. Once I had completed the
sketches, I developed them and expanded them for trio. These
compositions are both inspired by Antonioni's unique cinematic vision
and the natural quality of Vitti's acting and her other-worldly
on-screen presence. These are the first compositions for trio that I
have written in several years, and I am excited to be working with Lisa
and Jason on them. They have brought enormous concentration and
enthusiasm to the music. The music spans a range of styles from Italian
rock, Italian neo-realist film scores, post-jazz, and new music
composition.

9:30 pm
Vinny Golia - Steve Adams duo

Woodwind virtuoso and Nine Winds Records founder Vinny Golia has enjoyed
a long-standing duo with ROVA Saxophone Quartet member Steve Adams. On
this occasion, the duo with work their improvising magic that can travel
in any direction at the drop of a hat...or a reed in this case. These
are two of the west coasts' finest reed players - seasoned composers and
musical thinkers of the highest caliber. Don't miss it.
