South Hudson Music Project Presents: What’s Going On: Conduction, Improvisation, and the Culture of Structure: New Music Mondays 11/2, 11/9 and 11/16 Set 1: The Royal Room Collective Music Ensemble Plays Sun Ra Set 2: The Wayne Horvitz Ensemble 11/30 Set 1 and 2: The Wayne Horvitz Ensemble For our third annual festival, South Hudson Music Project continues its mission to present music that reflects the innovations in jazz and contemporary music with deep roots in the music of Chicago, NYC, St Louis and Los Angeles in the late 20t Century. Our first two years focused on the musical innovations of Butch Morris, Sun Ra, Henry Threadgill and Julius Hemphill. This year expands to a deep dive into the music specifically associated with NYC in the 80s and the Downtown Scene. The downtown scene was well known for the explosion of creative activity and the cross pollination of artists associated with free jazz, Black creative music, rock/punk music, experimental music and electronic music. John Zorn and Anthony Braxton were playing at the Public Theater, The Art Ensemble of Chicago was playing at Great American Music Hall and the Smithsonian, Joe Bowie was playing at CBGB’s and the Contortions were playing at Studio Rivbea. In the meantime Deborah Harry and David Byrne were keeping an eye on it all along with John Adams and Philip Glass. Special guests this year include Mazz Swift (Anohni, Laurie Anderson, Silk Road), Fred Frith (Henry Cow, Massacre, Naked City, Ensemble Moderne), Sarah Schoenbeck (Anthony Braxton, Henry Threadgill) and 3 stellar instrumentalists with deep roots in Seattle – Ha Yang Kim, Stephanie Richards and Leanna Keith.
