Evander Music Presents Citta di Vitti and Green Mitchell
 
8 pm - Citta di Vitti
Phillip Greenlief - alto saxophone
Lisa Mezzacappa - contrabass
Jason Levis - drums
 
Inspired by the films of Michelangelo Antonioni, saxophonist Phillip
Greenlief has composed a series of compositions written while watching
many of the great director's films featuring Monica Vitti. What has
transpired in the wake of this madness is a few dozen razor sharp
compositions for trio that traverse post-jazz and Italian film music,
allowing the adventurous saxophonist and his cohorts plenty of room for
spontaneous interplay.
 
9pm - Green Mitchell
Cory Wright - woodwinds
Lisa Mezzacappa - bass
Jason Levis - drums
 
Saxophonist/clarinetter Cory Wright has assembled this bay area trio
with bassist Lisa Mezzacappa and drummer Jason Levis in order to realize
a growing collection of ditties and musings that have come to surface in
the last two years. The group is a kinetic, versatile unit that can
climb through compositional complexities, swing from the outer limbs of
jazz, and plummet into the groundlessness of spontaneous soundspace...
and the 
possibility of hopping on a passing groove is never out of the question.

Getting their name from the surreal adventures found in Nigerian writer

this improvising trio of acclaimed musicians will take listeners on a
similar journey that veers from the quietest Zen meditations to sonic
romps of expressive free jazz, and everywhere in between.
