7:30 pm INSTAGON
8:30 pm Darren Johnston w/Scott R. Looney & Damon Smith

LOB basist and pedal artist, the multi talented hardest working producer in Central California started his group INSTAGON some years ago. Each incarnation not like the others and now in the mid 400's of performance comes to the SIMM series with his trusty sidekick Dr. Oblivious on keys.

Since settling in San Francisco in 1997, Canada-born trumpeter Darren Johnston has built a web of alliances, from avant-guard excursions with the likes of Fred Frith, and the ROVA saxophone quartet, to straight-ahead jazz outings with the likes of bassist
Marcus Shelby.  As a band-leader he is best known for his work with the United Brassworkers Front, whose second CD, “In Between Stories”, was recently released on Evander Music.  Currently, Darren’s focus is on his quintet, which features a front-line of Ben Goldberg and Sheldon Brown, and a new trio featuring Rob Reich on accordion and Daniel Fabricant on bass, which plays an eclectic collection of covers and original music.  Darren was mentioned in last June’s issue of Down Beat as one of “25 trumpeters for the future.”
