The JoAnne Pow!ers Trio
Friday, December 8, 2006
JoAnne Powers - Saxophones, etc.
Jennifer Pendur - Bass
Paul Baker - Drums; Percussion
Occasionally punctuating high-energy free jazz with and exploratory improvisations with Arabic maqams and Hindustani ragas, the JoAnne Pow!ers Trio rose from the ashes of Madison, Wisconsin's creative music scene. Bringing the irreverent spontaneity of percussionist Paul Baker together with Jennifer Pendur's inscrutable bass and the dulcet yet harrowing tones of saxophone terrorist JoAnne Powers, the trio plays spontaneous compositions and collective improvisations characterized by densely intricate communication and the cathartic energy of early sixties fire music.
