It was a pleasure to perform two new songs inspired by literary works live on @kbcs as part of @bushwickbookclub. We love independent radio and our music community.

REPOST from @Flotation_Device_KBCS:
Tonight we prep for our most exciting new music week of the year, headlined by the Arditti Quartet's first ever appearance in Seattle. We’ll chat with the legendary group's founder and first violinist Irvine Arditti about its history, its selections for the @MeanyCenter performances (which range from Beethoven to Berg, Ligeti, Ferneyhough, Clarke and a Durand world premiere), and his personal route to a career in the avant-garde, as well as his perspective and outlook at the sprightly age of 73. We’ll also preview @SeattleChamberOrchestra’s centenary celebration of Feldman and Kurtág, as well as upcoming @EarshotJazz appearances by Jessica Lurie, Anna Webber and John Hollenbeck. A 50th anniversary look at a Takemitsu orchestral gem (spiced with a whiff of German waltz) rounds out the program.

Sunday, October 11, 10pm–Midnight PDT (GMT -7), on 91.3 @KBCS Bellevue/Seattle/Tacoma (streaming at KBCS.FM). Available in podcast format (with HQ audio) at Mixcloud.com. Creative and improvised music from the Northwest and around the world with host Michael Schell.

Seattle — it’s happening. 🎶🇧🇷

On December 29, I’ll bring Looking for Jazz, I Found Samba to The Royal Room.

This show is a journey through jazz, bossa nova, samba and storytelling — but it’s also my own journey through music, migration, identity and the unexpected ways music can bring us home.

Two acts. One story. From jazz to Brazil.

📍 The Royal Room — Seattle
📅 Tuesday, December 29
🚪 Doors 6:30 PM | Show 7:30 PM
🎟️ $20 advance | $25 at the door

Come take this journey with me.

Last night pianist Lucian Ban sat down with host Michael Schell to talk about his Transylvanian Dance project with violist Mat Maneri, and their October 9 performance at Seattle’s Earshot Jazz Festival. Other topics include his Elevation and Oedipe Redux projects, and his unusual career path from Cluj, Romania to the Downtown New York free improv scene. Check out our tidy 14-minute conversation at:

Happy 90th birthday to Steve Reich. Sunday night we celebrate with one of his classic minimalist masterpieces plus a later, lesser-known work that showcases his interest in speech melody. We’ll assess his stature among the OGs of minimalism and among American composers in general. And we’ll contrast his beat-driven style with the sparser pseudo-repetitions in Morton Feldman’s Palais de Mari (preparatory to its October 7 traversal at @MeanyCenter by pianist Cristina Valdés). We'll also begin our Earshot Jazz Festival coverage with a preview of Lucian Ban and Mat Maneri’s Transylvanian Dance performance on October 9, including an exclusive interview with Lucian that delves into his unusual background as a Romanian-born, New York-based Downtown jazz pianist, and his approach to using Bartók’s famous field recordings of Eastern European folk music as an improvisational starting point.

Sunday, October 4, 10pm–Midnight PDT (GMT -7), on 91.3 @KBCS Bellevue/Seattle/Tacoma (streaming at KBCS.FM). Available in podcast format (with HQ audio) at Mixcloud.com. Creative and improvised music from the Northwest and around the world with host Michael Schell.
