A special afternoon of free music with a subset of the magisterial Exploding Star Orchestra, Rob Mazurek's incendiary large ensemble; they will perform as a sextet with Mazurek on cornet, Tomeka Reid on cello, Damon Locks on voice and electronics, Angélica Sánchez on Wurlitzer, Ingebrigt Håker Flaten on bass, and Chad Taylor on drums. The group will play a single set of improvisations in dialogue with the work of Sam Gilliam. After the concert, we will retire to The McPhee, CvsD's listening space, to audition the brand new Exploding Star Orchestra record, Lightning Dreamers, fresh from the pressing plant and available for the first time ever for sale this weekend!
