Last week I attended the 17th annual EdgeFest, an exciting four days of creative, improvised music-making. Percussion was the thing - Hamid Drake, Tom Rainey, and Matt Wilson took care of the drums; while piano percussion was provided by Eri Yamamoto, Lucian Ban, Kris Davis, Connie Crothers, and Tad Weed. Bassists William Parker and Ken Filiano kept the bottom of the music tight and swinging.
The trumpets of Lewis Barnes, Ralph Alessi, and Ron Miles; saxophones of Rob Brown, Jorge Sylvester, and Skeeter Shelton; and reeds of Piotr Michalowski were excellently played with expert musicianship, and feeling. If I missed anyone, it's because I wasn't present for their performance.
Congratulations to Edgefest Director, Deanna Relyea and the KCH Staff for another exciting week of creative, improvised music.
