Charity Chan, Peter Evans, Weasel Walter, & Tom Blancarte to Play Spectrum Tonight
Spectrum proudly presents the American-Canadian quartet of Peter Evans (trumpet), Charity Chan (piano), Weasel Walter (drums) and Tom Blancarte (double bass) on Thursday, May 30th at 7pm as they embrace their multiplicity of roots and influences, deftly subverting prevailing musical conventions. Straddling the worlds of jazz, rock and punk, and skirting against the borders of precision oriented metal and free-noise, this improv-based foursome are not only about being full-throttle. That's just the easy out. Sure, you could stylize this music as aggressive, high-energy and in-your-face; sounds that luxuriate in their own excess and technical prowess (whatever that may be).
