This concert was organized with very short notice to take advantage of a brilliant trio of musicians from San Francisco that sometimes go by the name Soft Teeth. They are finishing a European tour with Håvard Skaset &#38; Guro Skumsnes Moe creating the Bay/Oslo Mirror Trio. Their schedule was so busy they only had one afternoon in Amsterdam but we were fortunate enough to find a venue happy to accommodate them (thanks Zaal100)!<br /> Ava Mendoza: Guitar<br /> Tony Dryer: Bass<br /> Jacob Felix Heule: Drums(San Francisco)<br /> +<br /> John Dikeman: Saxophone(USA/NL)<br /> -----<br /> Core of the Coalman aka Jorge Boehringer(USA/Prague)<br /> -----<br /> Dirk Bruinsma: Sax<br /> Renato Ferreira: Sax<br /> Mike Majkowski: Bass<br /> Wim Janssen: Drums(NL, BR, AU)<br /> -----<br /> Ava Mendoza is one of the most exciting young guitarists in the USA. She has worked with musicians ranging from Anthony Braxton and Fred Frith to Carla Bozulich and Malcolm Goldstein. She is also a member of the scathing rock band Mute Socialite as well as the renowned free improvisation quartet JUS. She can tie a cherry stem into a knot with only the use of her tongue and will do it live for the right price. </p> <p>Tony Dryer has played bass guitar and toured extensively with rock groups including the Flying Luttenbachers, the Cold War, and Usurp Synapse. In recent years he has focused his attention on the acoustic double bass, and has recently completed a solo tour of the US supporting Ettrick. </p> <p>Jacob Felix Heule is an improvising drummer and multi-instrumentalist whose music spans the spectrum from overwhelming brutality to reductionist austerity. Free improv, noise, black metal and gamelan all have influenced his aesthetic and technique. Collaborators over the years include Jack Wright, Weasel Walter, James Plotkin, Moe! Staiano and many more....<br /> Links---<br /> Basshaters web page: <a href="http://www.heule.us/softteeth" rel="nofollow">http://www.heule.us/softteeth</a><br /> Ava Mendoza bio: <a href="http://www.myspace.com/avamendoza" rel="nofollow">www.myspace.com/avamendoza</a><br /> Jacob Felix Heule bio: <a href="http://heule.us/bio.html" rel="nofollow">http://heule.us/bio.html</a><br /> also: <a href="http://www.myspace.com/jacobfelix" rel="nofollow">http://www.myspace.com/jacobfelix</a><br /> Tony Dryer bio: <a href="http://myspace.com/tonydryerbass" rel="nofollow">http://myspace.com/tonydryerbass</a><br /> John Dikeman: <a href="http://www.johndikeman.com" rel="nofollow">www.johndikeman.com</a><br /> also: <a href="http://www.myspace.com/johndikeman" rel="nofollow">www.myspace.com/johndikeman</a><br /> -----<br /> Core of the Coalman: <a href="http://www.myspace.com/coreoggthecoalman" rel="nofollow">http://www.myspace.com/coreoggthecoalman</a><br /> -----<br /> Dirk Bruinsma: <a href="http://www.n-collective.com/index.cgi?article=8&#38;dept=people" rel="nofollow">http://www.n-collective.com/index.cgi?article=8&#38;dept=people</a><br /> Renato Ferreira: <a href="http://www.myspace.com/crenatomeganha" rel="nofollow">http://www.myspace.com/crenatomeganha</a><br /> Mike Majkowski: <a href="http://www.sima.org.au/2008/08/15/mike-majkowski-friends" rel="nofollow">http://www.sima.org.au/2008/08/15/mike-majkowski-friends</a><br /> Wim Janssen: <a href="http://www.wimjanssen.org" rel="nofollow">www.wimjanssen.org</a><br /> -----<br /> Zaal100: <a href="http://www.zaal100.nl" rel="nofollow">www.zaal100.nl</a><br /> ______________________________________<br /> *sun is neither guaranteed nor likely </p>
