On the last day of autumn, multi-faceted percussionist Ben Karetnick joins
infamous Madison saxophonist JoAnne Pow!ers and bassist Jennifer Pendur to
ring in the longest night of the year with a program of high energy
collective improvisations. After years of collaboration, Pendur's
inscrutable bass and the dulcet yet harrowing tones of Pow!ers form an
intricate sonic language of whispers, growls and screams. Karetnick, who
has worked with many of the East Coast's most notable improvisors,
punctuates the conversation with a startling array of textures and rhythms
from around the globe. The incalcitrant fire of these formidable
improvisors provides the energy for a final, stubborn challenge to the
encroaching winter.
